A Musician In The Making
Every New Year brings with it a desire of getting new opportunities, a hope of new dreams coming true, an urge of life that is full of happiness and satisfaction. This year God has been very generous to singer Harshdeep by making her long-lived dream come true. He blessed her with an opportunity to sing with India’s best music director, A.R. Rehman, for his forthcoming film Rang De Basanti. |

Rang De Basanti, the most awaited film of 2006, features Harshdeep’s song. “It is not a song. In fact it is an extract from Japji Sahib, the Sikh’s Morning Prayer. I consider it an honor to sing Ik Onkaar. Since childhood I have been singing it. We recorded it at 4 am. It was a very special moment. It is believed that early morning is the time of God and I actually felt God standing next to me and making me sing,” tells Harshdeep. |

When asked about her experience
of working with Rehman, the young talented girl says, “I have always admired
Mr. Rehman’s music. He is a legend. Singing with him was like appearing
for the board exams. I was excited as well as nervous. But to my astonishment,
the moment I entered into the recording studio and began to sing, everything
went by as smooth as an ice-cream.”

Harshdeep is a trained classical singer
and is also learning piano. She wants to dive deep into the ocean of music
and explore all it has to offer. Singing is just one dimension of her musical
personality. Composing music is one of the other dimensions. “I don’t want
people to know me just as a singer. I want the world to know me as a complete
Musician. I love each and every aspect of music and don’t want to stay
untouched from any one of it,” responds Harshdeep.
She is presently busy composing songs for her forthcoming album which will be released this year. |
|
Apart from music, her interest
also lies in studies. Harshdeep is in the second year of college pursuing
a specialized course in Audio Production.
