Singer Benny Dayal is excited to perform at the Global Citizen Festival India, which will have Coldplay headlining the concert along with Jay Z. He says it means a lot to him.
"Performing at this festival means a lot to me because there are so many musicians who have been and (have) become my heroes and inspirations," Benny told IANS.

They have "been inspiring me musically for a decade or more now," Benny said.
The 32-year-old also added that rapper Jay Z has been an inspiration to him.
"Jay Z has been an inspiration to me because of his musical success and his capability to just walk into the studio and record a song without even having to write his lyrics on a piece of paper, and of course having the pleasure to be performing on the same stage as Jay Z and Coldplay. It doesn't get any better," he said.
