Niraj Chag

Hello Niraj,

This might seem like a bit odd of a question/request, but do you know of similar composers such as yourself that cater toward the classical South Asian sound?

I'm basically looking for unheard of artists/songs that you might hear playing in the background of a wedding function or possibly mixed into the background of a wedding video.

Your songs "It's Life" and "Baavaria" are prefect examples of what I'm after. They not only beautiful sung and composed, but they have mellow sound with South Asian roots. Surprisingly, it's been extremely tough for me to locate many music similar to yours (beautiful sung and composed).

Once again, I'm looking for more underground or up & coming/new artists, producers, or composers who fit into this genre. Any help would be GREATLY appreciate sir. Please continue to share your talents and I can't wait for you to release more material.

have a listen to Kiran Ahluwalia. Shes an Indian/Canadian artist who creates some great music.

Hiii niraj, I LOVE your music! id really love to work for you, please pleaseee give me a chance. I sing really good!

Hello,
The music of the Turner episode of "The Power of Art" is very special. In fact, it is splendid! Please, make it available. Thanks!

Thank you for the kind message. I may have to pay it another visit ;)

I love your Bangles tune, and would really enjoy knowing the meaning of the lyrics.
thanks
Dana

Hi Dana,

Here is the lyric translation for Bangles (Live version):

Niraj

Bangles:
My Gold bangle
My parallel compromise
To yield a heart or entrust your heart
It’s all a parallel compromise

Whatever passage you see fit to walk
Is a parallel compromise
To yield a heart or entrust your heart
A parallel compromise

In our eyes where dreams are birthed
Where love is displayed so majestically
And those who have seen now embracing it
May they always be joined with love
Remaining as is, and never parted
Close to love

If you dwell in my heart my sweet
If you dwell in my heart
It’s a parallel compromise
If I dwell in yours
It’s a parallel compromise

Are You planning to release the music CD soon. its superb.

Thank you! Yes a new album next year. Im working on it right now :)

Hi Vas, Yes a few things in the pipeline. I am doing a version of the Jungle Book at West Yorkshire Playhouse as well a new channel 4 series all about food. I will send out a mailing list as well as update my blog with more details soon. Niraj

Hey, Niraj, I'm a big fan of yours and have always thought you're a really cute guy! :) My question's kind of silly! I was wondering are you ticklish and, if so, in what spots? Lots of love jo xx

Hi Jo,
Not anymore! The years of therapy finally cured me ;)

Hello,
Please, please make the music for the Turner episode of "The Power of Art" available! It has stayed with me since the very first time I heard it in the episode's debut here in America. It is very rare music stays with me this long...please make it available! It is haunting and sublime.

Thank you for your kind words Raymond. You do make a very convincing argument! I will give it some more thought and see how feasible it is :)...

I am really interested in both the music for the power of art and rise of the continents, these are fantastic, is there any way to get a hold of them?

They arent currently available commercially but i will keep you posted if that does change.
