This long haired sensation made his appearance in the song 'Q - Funk'
from the album 'Oorja'He burst into the pop scene with sis Sagarika,
powered by pop-guru Biddu’s melodies and doing re-mixes. Shaan,
the 'oh cho chweet' pop-star, has been wooing the audiences since
he stepped into Indian Music industry. He launched 'Loveology' and
gave everyone a well received lesson in the arts of lurrvee...
The
track from his second album Tanha Dil, "Bhool Ja", which
is an excellent ballad with superb lyrics written by the man himself!
"Tanha Dil" catapulted to the charts within days of its
release and was very popular on radio! "Dil Kya Kare,"
is a remix that caught everyone's eye thanks to its electrifying
video and soothing melodies. "Mana Janab," is a fun and
frolicky blast from the past that Shaan livens up with a latino
groove. Induced with lots of emotional and groovy tracks, the album
popped up the singer’s star rating, market value and of course
ambitions.
He
did a bit role in a Kalpana Lajmi film – Daman and the breakthrough
happened not in the medium he started his career with, but in the
mother of all commercial singing in India – Playback."Musu
Musu" from the film Pyar Mein Kabhi Kabhi won him several offers
from leading music directors like Anu Malik, A. R. Rahman while
"Woh Pehli Baar" won the budding singer a lot of fans.Shaan
took on an altogether different route when remixes became the order
of the day. He remixed "Hum Bewafa" and the R D Burman
"Roop Inka Mastana". After the success of Koi… Mil
Gaya (where he sang In panchhiyon) Shaan got films like Zameen,
Inteha and Sssshhh… lined up. “Film music, though, has
its limitations – you have to sing the way the composer conceptualises.
In an album you can experiment,” he says.
He’s
excited about singing an item number with Asha Bhonsle in Bewafa.
“She’s been my icon for ages. She has reinvented herself
with the changing times,” he sums up.
Shaan
loves to sing in English too. “Singing in Mumbai Matinee and
Valentine’s Day gave me confidence. I have no training in classical
music but I can pull off a semi-classical bandish,” says Shaan,
who’s also planning to do fusion with alaaps on the chartbuster
Koi kahe number (Dil Chahta Hai).
From
an aspiring desk – top publisher to a pop singer Shaan surely
has come a long way. He is currently host the show 'Sa Re Ga Ma
Pa' on Star Plus that hunts for young talent
