Ravinder Ravi |
Ravinder Ravi, the self taught musician, is the voice that wafts in from the breeze of Ludhiana from where he hails, like an untainted performer, who just lets himself go. Combining his spontaneous gust of vibrancy with unstructured ease, he transcends listeners to the varied emotive faculties that constitute the multiplicity of life in the Punjab. And rightfully earns their love. And respect. For he sings from his heart, allowing every bit of his innermost recesses to communicate with the connoisseurs of music and appeal to the layman's demand for foot tapping lilt as well.
Though the nation remembers him as one of the top ten finalists in the Indian Idol contest on Sony Entertainment Television, he was sorely missed by viewers and fans when he lost out to other contestants. But he has victory as his eventual destination as his characteristic rustic strains blends with his raw energy to supplement his career in what is his only passion: music. He is sure to carve out a niche for himself as the full throated voice that does not need any introduction. Nor any musical embellishments to support his natural talent for melody. And has his own individual style. The high pitched timbre of his voice adds more appreciative depth to the songs he sings. And the romantic soft numbers too have the earthy sentiments rendered with pathos ridden grief. And passion.
His first album Jat Lutya Gaya is releasing next week and he is bound to get noticed soon.
Some people have all the luck in the world. And others have no Lady Luck smiling at them. Despite their best efforts, it's only their fortune that decides their fate. Ravinder Ravi, one of the ten finalists at the Indian Idol contest on Sony Television show, has had a roller coaster ride though, what with fame - when he was voted as the most popular singer once by the audience- and ouster- as he failed to make his mark in the penultimate round to prove his talent- running simultaneously raising hopes one moment and crushing them the next moment. But that's life! |
