Hi Guys,
This is a nice platform to introduce ourselves and express and share our views, thanks to George. I am an average singer , have a long way to go before I attain perfection with the help of Muziboo friends with their constructive feedback.I started singing early in life ,after I heard Kishoreji’s songs from the Movie “Don” . I fell in love with his voice. Thats how I started singing….
As I grew up listening to hindi songs , I started liking Lataji, Ashaji, Rafi Saab….
I think apart from taking formal Training in singing , voice also plays a very big role in making you perfect in singing. I am saying this coz I have experienced this when I sing some songs that have comparatively difficult harqats and sur from some regular hindi songs. If you dont have clear voice and clear nose we tend to go offnote, can’t get sur right at all . Sometimes I can’t sing some hindi songs which I sing with ease when I have clear nose, clear voice. So I take utmost care and make sure I have a clear voice and nose when I try a challenging number e.g. “Kuch Tho Log Kahenge”, I couldnt sing the song when I felt my voice wasnt clear, I could get the harqats right only when I had clear voice and I didnt have any nasal block . It also takes care of high , low and landing notes. Landing notes sound in-sur only when your voice is crystal clear otherwise it goes haywire. Thats what I feel , opinions might Differ.

I love to sing Kishoreji’s numbers however after joinging Muziboo my muziboo friends like NVK sir, Harshan Sir, Sudhathee, Adithi,Srinesh, George, Kumaran, Kumar Srinivasan , Radhakrishnan , AJ , …(list is long) advised and Inspired me to sing other songs…coming out of my comfort zone…that’s how I decided to upload two Rafisaab numbers – “Sau Bar janam Lenge” and "Kar Chale Hum Fida "… will upload more in future… Until Muziboo happened in my life it was too monotonous . Once I joined Muziboo I am enjoying evry bit of it, I am learning a lot from so many talented singers here ….I wish I could Sing Ghazals like NVK sir does, western numbers like George does…will try some day soon :)…. I appreciate Harshan sir encouraging me to sing well and helping me with his tips in recording and mixing…I am grateful for all the support I get from Srinesh ,Sudhathee, AJ Bhai, Adithee etc. I wish I was trained in Indian Classical music ….Will try if time and fate permits….

MY Plus points ….lols I dont understand what to write…I love to sing Kishoreji songs…thats the only positive thing I see about myself.

Minuses –
1 )While Singing I get carried away , tend to get flat sometimes I think….taking care of that …

2) Taking formal training in singing would have helped me a great deal .

3) Cant think of singing hardcore classical songs.

4) Cant think of singing new hindi songs , need to work on that.

Cheers…
