The most common Question i get these days is - What the hell ver ya thinking ven u joined a Rock band after completing Engineering????? Even i wondered before. Well i told 'em all n i tell u now so too that i joined because i just wanna LIVE my life....not just sit in front of the damn computer sitting and writing some Codes and codes and codes ONLY.
Dont u think u need to have a life other than just ur professional one ( ok i dont have a professional one yet...well thtz coz of other reasons......a few of vich u'll get by reading my other posts :-) )
I always was a guy inclined towards music more than anything else. Thats y ven the opportunity came knocking @ my doors in ma engg. college to sing for a Rock band.....i took it up as a challenge....mind u...till then the only songs i sang ver lotsa english Pop songs, Film songs and Yes, LOTSA Bhajans....ya u heard that right. As a matter of fact i still can sing 'em. Lollzzz.
Screaming or throating was a total new concept to me. I listen to a hell lotta metal but didnt think that i wud hafta sing like 'em ever !!
Hmmmm so how did it all begin? My college band guyz got another singer n asked him to sing a heavy line by Metallica from de song For whom the Bell tolls.
The line sez - " Take a look to the sky just before u die, its the last time u will ". He couldnt do it...meanwhile i was just tryin to do it on de side n they happened to hear and like it. So that day on i became De' Vocalizt and i remember that 1st line all too well. Doesn't it sound like a message? I dunno i felt like that's how m spos to live my life - Experience woteva u want to b4 u die as u cant do that once u r gone.
So here i am typing the Rock side of my story.
Then how did i become the singer of Souled Out. Well thanks to engineering again. here i was writing my exam and i thought to myself - ' Man i keep meeting the same people in bangalore again and again. I have never ever seen the Rock scene in bangalore for this long inspite of wanting to see it more than any dumb chik or mall. So i thought i'll just post an ad on the Freedom Jam website - a place ver Bangalore bands meet. Wot the heck i am not gonna lose anything right? ' ( must add that - chix come to the Jams too so can just mayb say 2-with-a-single-bullet or Bingo;-) Lollz just jokin. i gotta a galfrend of 3 years now. if i dont add this line, u may b reading the blog of a Dead man)
So thats what i did n believe you me i got called by around 7 bands. But i checked out only 2 of them for various reasons. Then my current band guyz inspite of their ages seemed to have the best original composition and they wanted to play the kinda metal i wanted to sing to. So i just started jamming with them and lemme tell ya till date i dont regret my decision. I m loving each moment of these creative sessions. The only hurdle i faced was i had to WRITE LYRICS for the songs and i have never done that before. The audience also luckily, thank god, love us.
