Ricky Kej on World Environment Day: I am proud to have just 11 sets of clothes

Three-time Grammy Award winner Ricky Kej is a proud environmentalist. I have always felt strongly about climate change, deforestation, environmental consciousness and social impact around all this, and I wanted my music to reflect that,” the UN Goodwill Ambassador tells us. “I lead a sustainable lifestyle when it comes to my fashion choices,” he tells us, adding, “I feel buying less clothes, but good quality ones, is a great way to take a step towards sustainability. Ask how he got driven towards making music that reflects the environment, the 42-year-old says, “I’ve always had a problem with spoken language, because I have a condition called the expressive language disorder, which causes a problem with communication. I am glad I can express myself so well with music around climate change, air pollution, human-elephant conflict, plastic pollution, celebrating various species of animals, etc., through my music.”
