MUMBAI:
His songs take you into a retrospective mood, a personality whose
voice is sexy as well as spiritual. Not only does he sing, he writes
his own songs as well. His fingers glide over the guitar effortlessly.
Today the popular Sufi cum Rock singer, Rabbi Shergill is on the
popular charts of millions across the nation. In a rendezvous with
Sanjeev Shrivastav from BBC EK Mulakat for Radio One FM 94.3 on
Sunday 30th Sep, Rabbi Shergill gives a peek into his musical journey
of life.
 Hailing
from an academic background, Rabbi had to rebel, runaway and do
all sorts stunts to convince them on letting him pursue his passion.
"You had to have an MA just to sit at our dining table!"
says Rabbi. Inspired at an early age by the likes of Bruce Springsteen,
Waddali Bandhu, Shiv Batalvi, Lata Mangeshkar and many western singers
like Bono and Bob Dylan, Rabbi always tried ways to blend western
music and spirituality.
His
first album 'Bulla ki jaana mein kaun…' remained a number one
for 18-19 weeks, in the past few years no other song had been on
top of the charts for so long.
An
ardent hockey follower, Rabbi idealizes Pargat Singh, Jafar Iqbal
and Shahid.
Tune
in to Radio One FM 94.3 to know more about Rabbi Shergill
at 12 noon on Sunday, 30th September 2007.
