Kailashs jam session Shridevi Keshavan Thursday, September 20, 2007 01:27 IST
Kailash Kher is flying high - international musicians seem to be bowled over by his vocal skills. While Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam) struck a deal with the singer, world renowned DJ Paul Oakenfold is next in queue. The DJ and producer who has worked with the likes of Brittany Murphy, Madonna and others performed in May this year in the city. During his stay, the DJ apparently was simultaneously scouting for an unconventional Indian vocalist for his next album and he chanced upon Kailash Kher. Paul called my agency and got in touch with a friend of mine. He was looking for a rustic Indian voice and after listening to a couple of singers, he heard my track Ya Rabba (Salaam-E-Ishq) which he really liked. He then went to my site and heard a couple of other tracks of mine and zeroed in on me, says an overwhelmed Kailash, who is currently on tour. The DJ is also apparently planning to mix some of Kailashs tracks including Teri Deewani. I didnt know who he was till someone told me he is very big and has worked with a lot of big international musicians, he says adding that he might meet the musician when hes in the US in November. We are both traveling and it becomes very difficult to catch up. Lets see how it goes, he says. Kailash is also planning some project with AR Rahman. Its something interesting but I cannot reveal anything till its finalised. http://www.dnaindia.com/report.asp?NewsID=1122344 --------------------------------- Catch up on fall's hot new shows on Yahoo!
