With Rafi for an icon...
"HE SINGS like Mohammad Rafi," this is the compliment Kumar Gautam, Sonepat-based 25-year-old singer gets anywhere he goes looking for a chance to showcase his skill. He is not just another singer who took two-year training and then goes gaga over it, proclaiming that singing talent is natural, no one can teach it. To learn music, he did his post-graduation in classical music from Allahabad University. One would soon be able to judge his talent in "Makhmoor", a cassette of eight songs to be released by Sony in the near future. He sings one melancholic song in it.
So far, Gautam has released three cassettes from Rohtak, two devotional, one called "Amrit Vani", in which he sings Kabir's couplets, another is "Kar Le Thoda Dan Bande, Tera Kya Ghat Jayega", and third soon to be released is Punjabi, remix, "Bol Kuriye". All three cassettes are from Supertone, a music company from the State.
Gautam has also earned fame in Delhi and adjoining areas in over 100 stage shows where he is repeatedly asked to sing sufi and Mohammad Rafi songs. The legendary singer is his role model too. All for music, Gautam has formed his own musical groups called, "Blitz" comprising six young singers and musicians.
"I don't want to be a run-of-the mill-kind singer, hence I would rather wait for right offers to come to my door than singing just anything for the sake of it," says Gautam.
Well, everything comes to him who is willing to labour and to wait!
