Talent to watch out for 4 - Dhananjay Khair

My brother is super talented and deserves all the success and do look out for him. His videos are not viral yet!!! you have to do it make them viral .. God knows we can use as many artists as we can get. Here are some songs from DJay ... he is currently busy recording songs for his album, Let's come together and wish him luck for great success in the near future. 



Allah Jaane - Teri Meri Kahani (Rahat Fateh Ali Khan)





Neend Na Aaye - Fuzon





Bin Tere (Reprise) Cover by DJay

As always I would like to wish that you all watch the videos and like/share them as much as you can. Afterall we are the ones who make the stars .. lets make a new star today rather than tomorrow.


Talent to watch out for 3 - Vandana Srinivasan

Vandana Srinivasan is an independent singer, she only has two videos on youtube.com that are almost 8 months old but these two videos are enough to prove that Vandana is talented and innovative .. check her different interpretation and execution of the popular songs under project Vandanam.. check them below:


Pehla Nasha Nostalgia - Vandanam feat. Kedharnath Saira



Pareshaan By Pareshaan - Vandanam feat. Shilpa Natarajan & Prithvi Chandrasekhar


Since there are no new videos by Vandana, I hope that she is alright and is just busy with studies or something and will return again soon... we are waiting .. 

Talent to watch out for 2 - Shankar Tucker

Shankar Tucker is a force to reckon with his youtube channel - TheShrutiBox he has more than 10 million page views and his music is superb. As you might already have guessed by his last name Shankar is not Indian infact he is an American but his heart is set on Indian Classical music and he is learning the Indian classic music and rose to the fame with his youtube channel - TheShrutiBox in fact I guess Shankar would be familiar to the most of you if not fret not .. here goes some of his compositions which I like as usual you may go to his youtube channel - TheShrutiBox and check his other work.


Shankar's very first song which I saw on youtube and fell in love with his work

"O Re Piya / Rolling in the Deep" -  Shankar Tucker ft. Rohan Kymal, Brendan Susens-Jackson



Awesome rendition of a wonderful ghazal .. 

"Aaj Jaane Ki Zid Na Karo" - Shankar Tucker ft. Rohini Ravada




Awesome original composition .. Hindi/English .. superb music by Shankar Tucker and singing by Rohan Kymal 

"Caught in the Rain" -  Shankar Tucker  ft. Rohan Kymal


Another awesome original composition by Shankar 


"Mere Saajan Sun Sun" -  Shankar Tucker ft. Shweta Subram


Another great composition without instruments yes Acapella great voice of Shashwat Singh

"Jaane Kaise" - Shankar Tucker ft. Shashwat Singh (A Cappella)



Here's a talk my Shankar at TEDxGateway Mumbai, 2011

A Viral Approach To Classical Indian Music : Shankar Tucker at TEDxGateway


So there you have it few songs of Shankar and a TED talk by him.. really hope that you like his efforts as much as I did. Awesome news Shankar is giving music for a bi-lingual movie down south. Here's hoping that bollywood also give him chance. Again no copyright infringement meant if any just want to spread the word. :)

Talent to watch out for 1 - Maati Baani

YouTube has provided young musicians with a wonderful platform to showcase their talent and gain exposure and make their way towards a successful life where they could make more wonderful music. In this series which is the first series for my blog, I would be trying to showcase some musicians and singers whom I like and love very much. Hopefully my blog would help them gain some new fans.

My very first choice would be Maati Baani which would translate to Mitti ki Boli or Sound of Soil rustic and folk and fusion music. Maati Baani collaborates with different singers and record songs with them .. it all comes together very beautifully .. Maati Baani has Nirali Karthik - Vocals and Karthik Shah - Instruments .. they would always be more singers and musicians but as per my knowledge they are the main members of the group. now without further ado let's listen to the awesome group:

Banjara - Maatibaani ft. Mooralala Marwada






Tore Matware Naina - Maatibaani feat. JoyShanti






Mitwa - Maati Baani feat. Swaroop Khan





Baawariya - Maatibaani feat. Shankar Tucker




These are just few wonderful songs available on their youtube channel - Maatibaani do check and subscribe and listen to their wonderful work. As usual I do not mean to infringe on anyone's copyright work just want to help spread the word. hopefully this series will continue for a very long time.
