The Man of words -- Sonu Nigam ...

When Sonu Nigam Ji quit micro blogging site Twitter he did that with a promise to host a live workshop for music lovers, absolutely free of cost.

And true to his word, that’s what the singer’s doing. Sonu Ji recently resurfaced on Twitter, only to announce a workshop that he plans to organise in Mumbai. There are also plans for a live webcast of the same.

 However, Sonu Ji’s plans might need a little re-planning, since, while the singer was expecting a crowd of around 20 to 30 persons, there’ve been almost 600 who’ve confirmed participation. And though Sonu Ji’s overwhelmed with the unexpected turnout, he does admit that he may have to re-think the venue now.

“I am humbled by the response. We were planning to have the workshop in Mumbai on December 3. I don’t think that we’ll change the date, but we will definitely need a bigger venue.”

And according to reports there are not only people from across India, but also music lovers from overseas keen to participate in a live music session with the singer, who’s riding high on the success of the title track for Tees Maar Khan, having sung it in 56 voices.

“Yes, it’s true. We’ve had enquiries coming from places like New Jersey and UK for the workshop. As soon as we arrange for the venue we will make the formal announcement,” confirms Sonu Ji.

Talking about what inspired him to conduct such a workshop, he adds, “I think many times all we need is a little guidance and that’s all I’m trying to give, show others the direction — which I wish I had during my younger days.”

As the playback singer for Bollywood A-list stars such as Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan, Sonu’s most memorable Bollywood hits include You are My Soniya (from the movie Kabhi Khusi Kabhie Gham) and the very recent Chiggy Wiggy (from the movie Blue), featuring Australian singer Kylie Minogue.
Popular local composer Datuk Wah Idris will open the concert followed by a performance by the Malaysian Drum Symphony.

Sonu Ji will also be performing the 1Malaysia 1World song which will be sung entirely in Bahasa Malaysia.

Live Performances are the best - Sonu Niigaam Ji

Bollywood playback singer Sonu Niigaam Ji says nothing gives him more pleasure than live performances.
“For me, a live performance is a high that is incomparable to anything else musically. For me, it’s a three hour-long orgasm,” Sonu Ji said in a press statement.

The singer is set to perform for a live show in Birmingham Nov 13 and in London’s Wembley Arena Nov 14.
“You have to be vocally, physically, mentally and spiritually fit and involved for a perfect one. That’s the clear test of a true singer. Every other platform can be manipulated with, but not live shows. That’s why I get so involved during my performances,” he said.
Sonu Ji, who has belted popular numbers like “Yeh dil”, “Panchhi nadiyaan” and “Main hoon na”, says his performances have improved overtime.

“Last time I came to Britain was for the legendary Rafi Resurrected tour. People worldwide still talk about that one. Meanwhile, my regular live performances have gone to another level,” he added.

Leicester-based promoter Jayesh Kotak, who is organising Niigaam’s performance in Britain, feels the show will eclipse Oscar winning composer-singer A.R. Rahman’s concert held in London’s O2 Arena, earlier this year.

“Although A.R. Rahman is a genius, these shows will be a lot better because Sonu Ji will be on stage for three hours. Unlike Rahman, who handed over most of the singing duties to unknown singers and only performed his own songs, Sonu Ji will be on stage the whole time,” said Kotak.
