My Music. MY world.


*new* My Audition with A R Rahman Had the honor to be selected for a one-on-one audition with A R Rahman as part of his North America Talent Hunt. It was a distinct privilege to be able to sing for my musical inspiration and idol, and one of the most established musicians of our time.

    Video Clip: Sahara One's broadcast of the Talent Hunt

Mera Rang De Basanti Chola (unplugged track): A rather simple rendition of an awesome A R Rahman composition. Unplugged vocals and a low string, single-chord ensemble background.

    Lead Vocals: Vishal Oberoi

Secret Garden (track): An dark-ambient lounge track, using the ethnic instrument, rain, including an improvized vocal rendition of a Mirza Ghalib ghazal.

    Music and Lead Vocals: Vishal Oberoi; Urdu Lyrics: Mirza Ghalib; Producer: Dhiren Dasu; Recorded at The Blue Lotus Temple of Sound And Light, Boulder Creek, CA.

Dekha Tumhe (sample): A tune that came to me at sunset on Cavalossim Beach, Panjim, Goa. Lyricized by my gifted pal, Zeenat Rasheed, and musically developed into an R&B-fusion track by my buddy, Sandeep Acharya.

Hindi Composition and Vocals: Vishal Oberoi; Music: Sandeep Acharya; Hindi Lyrics: Zeenat Rasheed;

I owe a lot of my musical development to my 2 and a half year-stint with the world's first Hindi A Capella Group, Penn Masala.
