From being an award wining communications specialist
to a singer, GAUTAM GUPTAA talks about his passion
for singing and his new album |
|
|
|
He is an award - winning internationally
experienced communications specialist and has
been Director, Corporate Training Division, The
Personality School, Mumbai
since 1993. He offers consulting,
coaching and customized training services. His
areas of expertise include speaking and
presentation skills, multicultural communication,
business etiquette, call center training, customer
service and professional communication. He has
also authored his own book
'The 1st 4 Seconds' that speaks on
making first impressions and tips on personality
development.
To that it must be said that a meeting with the
charming Gautam Guptaa
surely leaves you with a good first impression. A
gifted person, Gautam is also a singer with a
different voice, soulful and desert like, full of
pathos. His association with music goes back a
long way. Born to a
vocalist mother, who is successfully
running Usha Kala Niketan,
a school in Canada for music and dance, he started
learning classical music since he was
five years
old. Leaving Canada and coming over to Mumbai
about five years back, he pursued his dream of
music. He has a strong belief in the saying
"Music is
food for the soul".
Being a Jagjit sing loyalist, he has done a number
of shows in Canada and in the U.S. with a
band of 20 odd people.
Garry, as friends all over know him, has made a name
for himself in the music industry. Infact he is
also superstitious of his surname and has thus
added the extra 'a'
to it last year.

Gautam recently released 'Tannhaaii', his debut
album that is a collection of 10 tracks. Soft
spoken and well informed about his album, Gautam
states categorically.
"Tannhaaii"
touches your heart with its purity of emotion and
its soulfulness, which can only come to the
forefront when one has experienced pain, " Though
he has done 3 originals, there are 2 cover tracks 'Lambe
judaai' from 'Hero' , a personal favorite of the
singer and ' Dhal Gaya'. The theme of this album,
Separation- 'Judaai' , revolves around a voice
that expresses pain as well as empathy. Gautam has
also included a few club mixes and instrumental
versions of his original songs. 'Piya Bina', 'Mohe
Tum Bin' and 'Kanha', so that a broader spectrum
of society can enjoy different genres of music in
one CD. Nomadic in nature, Gautam feels that
melody is lost in today's world and he would love
to revolutionize music. "If you feel the urge to
sing, you must try to exploit your potential, or one
can never know where he or she stands and with
today's market being open to twenty different
kinds of music, one should not give up without
trying", conveys this optimistic singer to the
want-to-be and upcoming singers.
38 years old
and an eligible bachelor, in another two months
time, he is off to Canada for music shows. So
what's up for the future singing or another book?
"Well, at the moment I am concentrating on
promoting the album. We have not decided on
another video, but the first video 'Piya Bina',
featuring Sanaa Khan is getting a lot of airplay."
