Keyboard and Vocal Covers, Songs I Keep Coming Back To
Some songs take me back. Here, I sing at the keyboard and straight to the camera.
At the keyboard, I sing a song I loved in 12th Standard, when I won first prize in a Solo Song competition.
Seated beside the keyboard at home, I sing through a cover I introduced simply as "My type of music".
Singing straight to the camera, I follow the words with my hands in this close-up cover. "I was always about the lyrics".
My hands stay on the keyboard as I sing in this side-on view of a performance at home.
Dressed in white at the keyboard, I sing a Karva chauth dedication in this performance recorded at home.
Facing the camera in a blue polo, I sing while playing keyboard, with framed pictures on the wall behind me.
A keyboard cover in a dimly lit room accompanies my hope for a larger audience and a bigger stage.
Sitting close to the camera in a red polo and glasses, I sing another cover with expressive hand movements.
Keyboard in front of me, I sing in profile in this home performance, keeping the instrument and vocals together.
In an orange polo at the keyboard, I sing another cover from home, with the keys visible across the foreground.
About Keyboard and Vocal Covers
The first song takes me back to 12th Standard, when I won first prize in a Solo Song competition. I loved it then, and I still love it.
At the keys
Several of these covers show me singing while I play keyboard at home. One is a Karva chauth dedication. Another came with the words "My type of music".
Just the voice in frame
The close-up performances show a different view of my singing, with no instrument visible. In one, I follow the words with my hands as I sing.
Music is something I keep trying with. Alongside one of these keyboard performances, I wrote about hoping for "a larger audience, a bigger stage".
For live events, I sing Bollywood classics and contemporary hits, Sufi music, romantic ballads, indie/pop and retro melodies. Delhi NCR is my main service area, with destination events across India also available.
