'Akki is inspirational'
Music band Rhythm Dhol Bass, popularly called 'the kings of crossover' talk about their latest work with actor Akshay Kumar…
The song Shera Di Kaum is creating much ripples over the internet, tell us how did it happen?
Once we knew the type of song Akki wanted and the general context, it came about very quickly. Most of our work is grown organically. Singh is King was the same. The melody is created and fine-tuned by one brother, while the others put together the beats.
It's the second time you have sung for Akshay…how do you find him to work with?
We've done quite a lot of hits for him now. He's inspirational to be honest. Even though music isn't his forte, he has this incredible panache of recognising a hit.
Who are your favourites when it comes to music?
We strangely have totally different tastes. Kuly prefers his Hiphop from Biggie to Black Eyed Peas. Manj has an inclination to UK Bhangra and Surj has always loved a mixture of RnB and Soft Rock.
You have been called the Indian version of Black Eyed Peas, right?
We're humbled with the comparison. We admire them for their incredible work and hope to collaborate with them one day. I suppose the cutting edge electronic music and simply being three guys and a girl would spark such a comparison.
What makes Punjabi tunes/ raps a hit in Bollywood?
Bollywood viewers have become very diversified. Adding a Punjabi hook-line has created a totally new style of a 'hit song', and most film producers are realising this.
What's next on your mind?
We are trying to keep the 'hit makers' title alive by continuing our efforts in the Bollywood industry. We count our blessings each day.
