Dj Amar lives and breathes producing. It is a part of his life like children are a part of our life. Amar cares and nurtures it on a daily basis. It’s not a hobby to him it is a way of life, very mental,god’s gift and a natural born talent. When asked if he could change one thing about his life, the answer was absolutely nothing.
