By Skimmy Gupta

“If Dhirubai Ambani could make a mammoth empire in one lifetime, why can’t we make it big in the pop industry? Nothing is impossible. We believe in the positivity and success will surely follow “ feel five enthusiastic youngsters and members of ‘Vedic Chant’ band. Vedic Chant comprising of Sidharth, Suhaas, Bernard, Gopaal and Chandresh recently released their 4th music album “Khushii”. All eight songs of the album composed by Sidharth and Suhaas evoke melodious Indian sounds with poetic lyrics. The beautifully shot music video ‘Dooriyan’ is already topping the pop charts. The band recently recorded for the first time ever in India, an OST (Original Sound Track) tilted “ Mere Desh Mein (Yodha)” for the first 3D Interactive Video Game called “Yodha-The Warrior”. They have successfully performed all over India and are building a huge fan base.

“Chants are universally accepted as a form of prayer, no matter what language or place they originate from. Music is a language with no boundaries. Music is our prayer and hence the name Vedic Chant. The music of the album is a reflection of the youth of the Millennium who are thinking individuals, aware of their inner consciousness who love and enjoy life,” says Siddharth, music producer and member of the band.

Vedic Chant formed in 1996 released the album “Kya Hai Yeh Jadoo” in 1999, which soared to Number 3 in Indipop Charts in first month of the release. The album also reached Number 1 in the U.A.E. radio charts and Number 1 on Radio 4 in Dubai.Sidharth who follows Buddhism says, “No doubt the pop industry is going through a slow phase, but good music will always be appreciated.It entirely depends upon people”
