Now - incredibly - the American musician also composes Hindi songs for Rajniti*
** *How will you manage the Hindi songs?* I will be working with two writers to whom I will give the melodies. Prakash wants songs in the background and he said that he does not want them to be too Indian. Meanwhile, I listen to a lot of Hindi music - I love A.R. Rahman and Ismail Darbar’s Devdas is my all-time favourite. But I have also already recorded Hindi songs with Sonu Niigaam and Sunidhi Chauhan for a Hollywood film shot in India, Basmati Blues. *How do you propose to divide your work now?* I would ideally love to do at least 30 per cent work here. I also want to study more of Indian music, and if possible, pick up a bit of Hindi. A.R. Rahman’s Taal changed my life and I can never be far from India now. http://www.screenindia.com/news/the-sharpe-note/470086/ -- regards, Vithur
