Meiyang Chang is ‘greedy’ for work

In a recent interview with ANI, Chang was candid about how much he enjoyed working on independent music and playback, and he discussed what it was like to have success in both the fields. The actor-singer said it is an advantage to be able to sing for his own character if required in movies. Playback is a bit of a waiting game, in which you audition and then hope for the best. According to Chang, he enjoys doing Indie music the most as he has more control over the narrative.

Even after getting success in almost every other field, the actor said he is greedy for more work. He said, “From being a dentist, to being selected to sing and host on a national platform, to acting on the big and small screens, I’ve been extremely blessed with the opportunities in life. I am grateful that people have accepted me in pretty much everything I’ve attempted. It’s been their grace, kindness, and good taste. At this time, I’m looking to consolidate by making more songs, essaying more interesting and challenging roles, and hosting with full gusto. I’m greedy, I want it all.”
