Inspiration:
My father is great inspiration for me to enter into the music
field. He is Music Graduate (Punjab University Lahore) in Sitar and
Shagird(student) of Ustaad Nafees Ahmed Khan. So in this musical environment i
got interest in this melodious field & learnt the Western Music Basics and
its collaboration with our Eastern Music Scales...!
Problems
in Achieving Career :
Competition
in Overall Music Field has grown up rapidly by the Advent of Private Media
Channels. Now-a-days song is not listened but watched.. Means most of the
people who can invest in the videos can become a singer in this regard and can
get promotion and fame through money. I think the the audience should listen good
music and promote the music of those people who properly learnt it. I think
this is the main problem which is spoiling the true upcoming talent !
With
Whom have you worked with?
I am
working as a Musician (Guitarist) with "Night Chords - The Band"
Working
as a Music Arranger and Recordist at "Zohaib Recording Studios and Music
Productions" Working as a Music Director with a NGO "Sehar
Ministries"
Working
as a Event Manager for Arranging Concerts and Events at "Sunrise FM
95"
Results
of Achievements:
Well
these days I'm performing with various bands and TV Channels as a Singer and
Guitarist too, Meanwhile also arranging music albums for various artists.
How do you see the work nowadays in your field
Easy or difficult ?
I
think that the work in this Music field has come to difficult these days
because now a days one have to promote himself on all channels and Media’s to
make his identity. People have lots of options to see and listen, and they used
to listen the music with heavy budgeted videos. I think this thing has made
difficulty for most of the Artists of the Age.
Plans for
the future in your field ?
Currently
working at my album, which will soon release. Also planned to do some Fusion in
Instrumental music like the collaboration of instruments like Sitar with Bass
Guitar and Grand Piano..!
My name is Amit Ranjan Srivastava. 21 years old. I
belong to Ranchi (Jharkhand) India. I did my intermediate from St.Xavier's College
Ranchi and now doing b.sc from the same college. I am a singer and musician..
And music is a part of my life and can’t live without it....
You have a
great profession singing, how did you start ?
First of all i am very thank full to God who given
me art of singing as a gift.. and then my parents who are also very interested
in music and their support and my father is my first guru also... I started
singing when i was 5 years old. And because we were in a very small village so
there was not any musical institute. So i could not taken training of classical music. But according to
my own practice i can sing well.
I can play some instruments like- harmonium, naal, banjo and tabla.
What and who
did really inspire you to get into field
music ?
When i was in intermediate 1st year till then
never thought to make singing as my
profession. And i did not know about the singing reality shows which are going
on very much now a days. Reason was: we had not any dish tv or cable
connection. When i was in 2 nd year i started watching a reality show called
Sare Gamapa on Zee tv ..so that reality shows actually inspired me...
What problems
did you face to achieve your career?
Well i think i have not achieved my career yet but
wherever i am now, i faced so many problems. I know that i will have to face so
many problems ahead in achieving my career....
Who have you
worked with?
I have worked with a band called “Symphony Musical”
group Ranchi and a very well known band called “Rajasthan Roots” of Rajasthan as
a singer and a group called “Aum the
Existence on Stage” as music director in Mumbai.
What are
results of your achievements?
Well god is been so kind to me..now a days i perform
with various musical bands, in Gagarin Orchestras and many others as a singer and
an instrument player too..
How do you
see the work nowadays in your field Easy or difficult?
According to me its all depends on how much we
labour....if we work harder it will be easy otherwise difficult....one more
thing luck is also a factor behind it... if someone works harder and is not lucky
then he can’t get success....
What are your
plans for the future in your field?
In future if God blesses, i have have a dream to
launch my own album and also to have my own band with a great success.......
