MUMBAI: From launching albums, artists in the music industry are now keen to launch their singles. Latest to join the bandwagon is Ishq Bector of Hip hopper fame. Ishq is in talks with music labels to launch his two single as a part of their compilations.
Ishq Bector has composed two singles, one with Shibani Kashyap and other with Monali Thakur who rendered the song â€?Zara Zara touch me’ from Race. Says Ishq, I have composed about 30 tracks and two singles, which would be soon be released. I am looking at a music label who has a strong distribution network and launches many compilation to squeeze in my tracks….
Following the slogan of â€?Jo dikta hai vahi bikta hai’, Ishq has created videos for these two tracks. The videos will feature the sizzling Rakhi Sawant lip syncing to the tracks sung by Shibani Kashyap and Monali Thakur. Videos are an essential part of any track as without videos the songs don’t get noticed. Videos guarantees plays across music channels and (GEC) General entertainment channels….
Complaining about the apathy displayed by the music channel regarding non film music, Ishq says, Music channels completely bank on Bollywood film music and non-film doesn’t figure out in their inventory. Also Bollywood music has become so competitive that the film makers have to pump in a lot of money for promoting their songs on television channels. On the other hand, non-film artists cannot afford to pay such competitive prices for promotion, so youtube comes handy….Ishq has also been creating videos on his own and posting them on the social networking site, Youtube for increasing visibility.
Having tasted Bollywood with Anu Malek’s compositions in â€?Ugli and Pagli’, Ishq has lapped some projects in the music industry. I have a couple of tracks lined up for release which includes â€?Kaala Jaado’ in Allah ke bandhe, Pritam’s composition for Subhash Ghai movie, â€?Hello Darling’, Himesh Reshammiya’s composition for John Mathew Mathan’s A New Love Ishtory to name a few. I have worked on a couple of tracks with the newbies Sachin-Jigar as well….
Apart from working with Bollywood composers, Ishq Bector sees himself as a full fledged Bollywood composer in a couple of years. While working on Bollywood songs, the whole credit for the mukhda is taken by the music composers and I don’t get credited. So, I have making a library of songs and I see myself in the next generation of music directors in five years….
