Each member of the trio Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy bring their own unique talents and experiences to the group, combining the Carnatic and Classical Indian vocal tradition, Western Rock and a deep understanding of fusion including a virtual mastery over the Electronic Synthesizer. Combining a deep knowledge of Hindustani (North Indian) or Carnatic (South Indian) classical music and technical expertise as composers and orchestral arrangers, they probably represent the first ‘trio’ of music composers to entertain Bollywood audiences with their chart-topping music. Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy have won and continue to win critical and commercial acclaim and several awards from the Bollywood Press and Magazines, TV Channels and a National Film Award (Kal Ho Naa Ho, 2003). Their success owes to several contributing factors, among which are the adoption of interesting musical instruments and sounds as part of their orchestral palette, introduction of new voices weaned on immensely popular TV Musical Talent shows and an obsession for the perfect ‘feel’ for the movie scene necessitating the segue into a song sequence.
