Mani Mani Mani

There he, along with a few of his class-mates formed a band called Party Pigs8217;, but doing just that was not enough. So he started working in studios around Sydney, which eventually led to setting up his own production suite 8211; MO Mani Music Productions in 1996.

On one of his visits to India, he got an offer from Magnasound which he gladly accepted. To date, he has worked on two albums for Magnasound, the first was generic stuff 8211; a remix of Daler Mehndi8217;s songs called Daler Remix and the second was for singer Ash for his album Husn.

His third album 8211; Ohm Karma is his own baby. An instrumental album, it is basically an experiment on world music. 8220;I draw my inspiration from Jazz, Electro and Rn8217;B music and it shows in my work8221;, says Pravin. 8220;As for the album, it is not made for Indian audiences only, but audiences the world over. I also know that my type of music will appeal to only a select, niche market8221; but this is exactly what he wants. 8220;I am very sure about that8221;, he says, with such confidence!

8220;Infact, for my next album, I am already looking towards folk music for inspiration. I just might do a song based on taxi horns or hawkers cries,8221; confides Pravin very seriously. And serious he is. For he wants to be the one who leads others in this genre. Lead on!!!
