Sonu Nigam is hitting the high notes!
The singer is keeping his promise of organising a music workshop free of cost.
When Sonu Nigam quit micro blogging site Twitter he did that with a promise to host a live workshop for music lovers, absolutely free of cost.
And true to his word, that’s what the singer’s doing. Sonu recently resurfaced on Twitter, only to announce a workshop that he plans to organise in Mumbai. There are also plans for a live webcast of the same.
However, Sonu’s plans might need a little re-planning, since, while the singer was expecting a crowd of around 20 to 30 persons, there’ve been almost 600 who’ve confirmed participation. And though Sonu’s overwhelmed with the unexpected turnout, he does admit that he may have to re-think the venue now.
“I am humbled by the response. We were planning to have the workshop in Mumbai on December 3. I don’t think that we’ll change the date, but we will definitely need a bigger venue.”
And according to reports there are not only people from across India, but also music lovers from overseas keen to participate in a live music session with the singer, who’s riding high on the success of the title track for Tees Maar Khan, having sung it in 56 voices.
“Yes, it’s true. We’ve had enquiries coming from places like New Jersey and UK for the workshop. As soon as we arrange for the venue we will make the formal announcement,” confirms Sonu.
Talking about what inspired him to conduct such a workshop, he adds, “I think many times all we need is a little guidance and that’s all I’m trying to give, show others the direction — which I wish I had during my younger days.”
