The Happy hit-maker, who was in India last month to celebrate his first Holi and as part of a brand association, spoke to Vogue India’s April 2018 issue about views on music and life.

Williams said he was not interested in running for President.

“I’m no role model. I’m just an advisor - that’s why as a producer I’m able to push people in certain directions to find a uniqueness in their voice, their intentions and their purpose - that’s my job,” Williams said.

On whether music, for him, needed to come with a message, he said: “It doesn’t need to but it’s good that it does. I think everything we do should have some sort of message or intention or it’s just wasted energy.” Williams posed for a photoshoot with Aishwarya at the Mehboob Studio here. He was accompanied by model-wife Helen Lasichanh.—IANS
