On song: Shashwat Singh is the new kid on the block
The Hindu
The lead voice of AR Rahman’s recently-released 99 Songs, Shashwat Singh on the lessons he learnt from the maestro
When AR Rahman wanted to check his voice out, nervousness got the better of Shashwat Singh and he messed it up. The maestro asked him to try again. This time, his rendition of ‘You Raise Me Up’ won him appreciation, and a call from Rahman’s office to record ‘Wat Wat’ for the Hindi film Tamasha (2015) a month later. After Tamasha, Shashwat sang ‘Sarsariya’, in the 2016 Hrithik Roshan-starrer Mohenja Daro and ‘Ruby Ruby’ for Sanju in 2018 – all Rahman’s compositionsMore Related News
