Ganpat on song

Dilbagh Singh is out with his debut album



Dilbagh Singh: “I can sing in six languages”

Remember the song “Aye Ganpat” from Shootout at Lokandwala? Yes, the rap song that was picturised on the Maya Dolas gang. We know Mika sang that song but there was another singer who hummed a couple of lines in the lime rick. The name is Dilbagh Singh.

“Aye Ganpat”, may be his first venture into films but Dilbagh is not a new voice in the music industry. The Punjab da puttar has been giving stage performances for nearly a decade now, across the country. Six years of which he performed along with singer Mika as the main back up vocalist. “I learnt different musical instruments from different gurus. I even started my career as a tabla player for a troupe. It was only when I met Mikaji that I started taking my singing very seriously. After that I started my own group called D gang and have been giving performances ever since,” says the Delhiite. Shoot out…too came about because of Mika, who suggested that Dilbagh join him in singing the song. “I have got a couple of more film offers but I cannot discuss them. All of them are dance numbers,” he explains. The singer recently came out with his debut pop album titled “Tina”. The album has music by five different music directors and lyrics by five lyrics writers. What’s with number five? “Nothing as such. If you look at an album generally, the music director gives his best only for a couple of songs. The rest of the songs are ordinary. Each music director I have chosen is good with a particular kind of music. This will also bring in some variety. By the way, my album is also about my five girlfriends!”

His USP, he says, is the fact that he can sing in six languages. “That’s the best way to connect with the audience,” he sums up.
