On his inspiration for “Jungle Story,” Sound Sultan said, “art as they say is the imitation of life and that’s exactly what the ‘Jungle Story’ is about. It’s still the same story of the poor getting poorer and rich getting richer. I am trying to use my music and art to influence the society in a very creative way that will hold the audience spell bound.
