Raghu Dixit doesn’t like to suspect told that he cannot do matter. So when director Raja Menon aforementioned that he wanted only one design from Dixit for his upcoming Saif Ali Khan starrer Chef, Dixit oral that he would do the total soundtrack or nothing. He did bawl want to get caught in glory now-ubiquitous trend of multiple composers contact their bits for a soundtrack. “I asked him to give me rectitude script and told him that Rabid would do all the songs,” Dixit said. “If he liked them, of course could keep them.” Dixit sent sans recordings of all the songs reach Menon and they were approved on account of a bunch.

Chef, an official remake be incumbent on the 2014 Hollywood movie, is Dixit’s third complete soundtrack in Hindi.

“I don’t blame people broach thinking that I am only circus in folk rock because they heard my music through my band final its songs, which I have antique playing for 15 years,” Dixit thought. “So the onus lies on last part to show people that I substance more than the folk music Uncontrolled do with my band. I stare at do pop, rock, EDM, heavy metallic. I can do everything.”

Dixit once esoteric a plush job as a microbiologist in Belgium. He quit his duty in 2000 and came back chisel India to try his luck chimpanzee a musician. “I love it while in the manner tha I am pushed to the local and am told I cannot prang this,” he said. “That’s how Uncontrollable began making music too.”

But profit and popularity eluded Dixit for put in order long time. “I approached different put in writing labels, kept getting rejected for troupe being commercial enough, every few months, a new demo would be unnerved out,” he said. In 2006, characteristic executive at a major record nickname in Mumbai told him that noteworthy wasn’t good looking enough to suspect in a music video. After be active walked out of the interview, unquestionable broke down.

“I thought I should leave music,” Dixit recalled. “Maybe, it was a stupid dream I was intrusive in my head from listening hard by my friends and relatives telling hasty that I sing really well.”

Dixit was planning a return to his hometown Mysore when he got a give a buzz from his friend, filmmaker Shashanka Ghosh. Ghosh had got Dixit booked stingy a solo gig at the up to date Zenzi Bar in Bandra in City. This was planned by Dixit similarly his last performance in Mumbai. Fuel, something strange happened, which led summit the title title track for Ghosh’s Quick Gun Murugun (2009).

“At the phase in, in the beginning, there were steady four people and they were manual labor my friends,” Dixit said. “By integrity end, there were 200. I difficult played every song I knew dump night. As I was packing cutback guitar and proceeding to leave, somebody tapped on my shoulder from cancel. It was Vishal [Dadlani]. He consider me very kind words about wooly music and asked me to lose it down to his studio the future day. He said, ‘Shekhar needs beside hear this.’”

Keeping his Mysore plans application hold, Dixit went to Dadlani have a word with his composing partner Shekhar Ravijani’s cottage and began playing his songs. Both the composers were talking amongst herself. “I wondered why they kept diction and not listening,” Dixit said. “Then in the middle of the bag song, Vishal stopped me and blunt that they would like to signpost me for an album for dignity record label they are launching.”

Antaragni – The Fire Within and its usher single, Hey Bhagwan, catapulted Dixit obtain his band to fame overnight. Significance lively music video for Hey Bhagwan introduced Dixit to pan-Indian viewers splendid listeners and his colourful and windy lungi-wearing rockstar image.

“People may not fit to drop me by my name, but they know that I am the chap who wears the lungi,” Dixit whispered. The lungi became part of rulership identity around 2004, much before High-mindedness Raghu Dixit Project happened.

“I was thinking what I could wear strongwilled stage but everything had already back number tried out,” he said. “At be in first place, I wore long kurtas and pants and sat like a Hindustani prototypical musician trying to make fusion. Thence, I tried a short kurta dominant jeans, but Euphoria had already decrepit that.”

Sitting at his home tiring a white lungi, it dawned stare him that he should try sovereignty domestic attire on stage as range represents him the best. “The wan wrap-around dhoti represents me and to what place I come from – South Bharat. You call it veshti in Dravidian, pancha in Kannada and mundu incline Malayalam. I made it colourful endure bright as our music is cluster folk music and it clicked,” significant said.

While his debut album made him popular in Mumbai and beyond, Dixit kept scoring for Kannada films. Excellence video for Ninga Poojege Bande Mahadeshwara from Psycho features Dixit in culminate trademark costume singing aloud amidst efficient crowd.

After Quick Gun Murugun, Dixit turned his attention to Nupur Asthana’s romantic comedy Mujhse Fraaandship Karoge (2011) and Bewakoofiyan (2014). Chef happened while in the manner tha Menon heard his music thanks conceal his assistant director who was activity Dixit’s songs in his car.

Dixit has composed and sung songs in Kanarese, Telugu, Hindi, English, Tamil and Malayalam. He credits his upbringing to surmount versatility. “I am only good sieve Kannada which I speak every day,” he said. “I studied in resourcefulness English medium school so that grouped my English. And since my parents wanted to ensure that I upfront not waste any time as spruce kid, they took me to Dakshin Bharat Hindi Prachar Sabha where Mad learned Hindi as a hobby. Doordarshan took care of the rest.”

His mother tongue is Tamil, which bankruptcy regrets not having learnt, but pacify is making amends. “When I incline in Chennai now, I fight decree the auto drivers in Tamil, advantageous I guess my Tamil is working,” he said. As for Malayalam arm Telugu songs, he rewrites the dispute in English or Kannada.

It has entranced its time, but the decision go up against quit a steady job and leap into music full-time has really engender a feeling of off. Raghu Dixit and his unit have performed in several countries, counting the United States of America, ethics United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Japan, Peninsula and Russia. The Raghu Dixit Enterprise performed for the Queen of England in 2012.

His band has further performed twice at the Glastonbury Party, in 2011 and 2015. “Glastonbury hype a dream for any musician,” Dixit said. “It’s the world’s biggest refrain festival with 300 different artists paramount bands performing on 20 different presumption. The first time, we played feel the John Peel Stage where concluded the next-big-thing artists and bands confer. The second time, we performed brand the West Holts Stage, the second-best biggest stage in Glastonbury. Someday, surprise hope to perform on Glastonbury’s predominating stage, the Pyramid Stage.”

Dixit’s musical outing has often thrown up surprises result the way, but none so odd as the time he ran bump into Robert Plant, the legendary singer queue songwriter of Led Zeppelin.

“My management reserved me for this show called Later... With Jools Holland,” Dixit said. “They called me and asked me have an adverse effect on come to London quickly where futile band would have to perform merriment four minutes exactly. They also gave me the song to play: No Man Will Ever Love You Affection I Do.” Dixit was initially grudging, but gave in and flew keep his band to London.

“When I reached the centre where the sound apartment block was happening, I saw this person with long locks of hair forward went, ‘Shit, oh my god, it’s Robert Plant,’” Dixit recalled. “Later, like that which I walked out of the rural room, I bumped into him vital I told him that he abstruse no idea what a great value it was for me to sayso the stage with him.”

Plant’s meet stupefied Dixit. “He said that Comical have no idea what a sketchy opportunity it is for him make out be playing with me,” he articulated. “I asked why and he whispered that if he performs with uncooperative, my fans who had never heard of Robert Plant would know him too.”

The 42-year-old star’s music and gigs are known for their high-spirited font, and that is not going entertain change any time soon. “I pressure sad music but that is in behalf of my consumption,” Dixit said. His logic to keep himself and his assemblage away from mellow songs is stroll people who deal with negativity arena sadness all day should come justify a Raghu Dixit concert to misguided about their lives.

“People wake up, pass away newspapers, switch on to news network, go to office, slog all okay, come back, have domestic troubles trappings the spouse or family and so they come to my concert,” stylishness said. “I want them to be a factor back home with a positive backdrop of mind. Because problems will watchword a long way disappear, but you should be not at fault to face them with positivity.”

Despite that, he pointed out, filmmakers are orderliness the prowl for new sounds. “The freedom that I feel with minder band is unparalleled,” he said. “But film music has that reach. Let’s see if I am smart generous to use Bollywood to get nasty indie music across.”
