Aye!
finally after 2 long hard years straight, i’m returning to Canada (for a few weeks)! i can be super stubburn.. i didn’t even wanna think about going till i got the ball rolling properly here in India..
with over a million views for “Aye Hip Hopper!” (youtube) and “Dakku Daddy” steadily climbing up, i’m hella excited to drop this disc on my fellow Canadians!
to answer alot of questions as to how we got here.. its like this..
1) ishQ starts his musical career as a dancer and makes basement music in Canada for many years to learn the craft of song writing/production/composition/tacking/mixing.
2) ishQ releases 4 original albums with his underground group the “Frek Sho”.. then 2 albums independently in India (Universal / BMG Crescendo doing distribution) — But very few people notice..
3) ishQ’s music gets recognised by a business enterpeneur (Nitin Gupta - Sykz Total Fitness) who puts his money where his mouth is. we make 3 new videos and an album named “Dakku Daddy”.
4) the album’s first single “Aye! Hip Hopper- ft. Sunidhi Chauhan” becomes a smash hit!! Followed by a crazy Bollywood super cast video “Dakku Daddy - ft. Shakti Kapoor & Hrishitaa Bhatt”..
5) Now the same album is being launched in Canada June 3rd with Universal / Fontana North doing distribution and aggressive radio promotions by Nelly Furtardo’s cuz Oscar.
An english version of the “Aye! Hip Hopper” video will be spinning on the biggest Canadian Music Station “Much Music” in June.
June 3rd is also my Birthday!! so, if you got love and wanna get me a B-Day gift, grab some of my songs from iTunes.. or if your in Canada, pick up the “Dakku Daddy” disc from your local HMV, CD Plus or select Walmarts..
i start my Canadian trip with a jump off show at DesiFest in Toronto (May 31st)..
Hope to see you there!!
mad love,ishQ
