Sensational Kunal Ganjawala

True to this statement — she was a completely natural singer who probably never took a serious music lesson in her life. But her amazing voice and sense of timing coupled with an ability to pitch a note exactly right made her one of the finest jazz singers of America.

She was different and so is Kunal Ganjawala.

And this very quality makes him a versatile artiste. He is a completely natural singer who simply does not sound like someone else. Even though he is the most happening singer on the Bollywood music scene today, he never, in his wildest thoughts, thought he would be a singer. “I became a singer by chance. I never knew I could sing until I sang,” says Kunal. “It was my college friends who urged me to sing and try my luck as a professional singer. I had a good voice and I was always listening to music”, explains Kunal.

Hard to believe after his songs such as “Bheege Hooth Tere,” “Channa Vey,” “Kaal Dhamaal” and the very latest ‘Salaam Namaste’ proved to be major chart busters. His melodious voice, modesty, his honest confession and his faith in himself made him what he is today.

He didn’t have any dreams of being a singer but when he received two trophies on the same night on February 26, at the 50th Filmfare awards, he realised that this is the stuff dreams are made of.

“I got a trophy for my song, ‘Bheege Hooth Tere’ and an award instituted in the name of my idol — RD Burman music award. And the same night the black trophies turned into gold and I was elated,” says a beaming Ganjawala. And if you all do not know — “Bheege Hooth Tere” was a one take song and even Anu Malik was amazed.

Ganjawala will perform at tonight’s Bollywood’s Movie Awards at the Centre of Excellence, Macoya.
