MUMBAI: It is a known fact that for the youth of today, music and drugs seem to go hand in hand. This notion has been built over time due to the influence of media, and the faulty mindset that for successful art, one needs those ‘transcended senses’. DJ Roshan Mansukhani, addresses this issue by explaining how music can be used instead as a therapy to wean away the youth from drugs and alcohol.

Thadomal Shahani Centre for Media and Communications (TSCMC) has organized a session with DJ Roshan Mansukhani, who plans to share some priceless anecdotes of his association with music and the impact of this music on the ‘generation Y’. Such interactive discussions with change-makers is the motive behind #CMCEvenings, a platform that enables a ‘connect over conversation’.

A pioneer is his field DJ Roshan trains aspiring disc jockeys, but through his passion for music, he also aims to help today’s youth de-addict themselves of drugs and alcohol. He believes that, “music can offer a high without any involvement of drugs.”

Given his sphere of influence, DJ Roshan serves to be an inspiring voice to engage with the youth on the topic of ‘Power and Influence of Music on the Y Generation' for this #CMCEvenings.
