How’s it to record Shreya Ghoshal? ‘Jeevamshamayi’ recording session.

How was the experience working with Shreya Ghoshal? A question that I hear the most since 2018. It excites me always & I keep on talking about the wonderful experience knowing & recording her.

3 hrs of continuous recording without even a single break, giving unlimited number of takes, improvisations you never even imagined in your wildest thoughts, the passion, dedication & commitment to make it perfect, to take it to the next level was something special to watch. It was my debut movie, but still she treated me with utmost humbleness. At one point during the recording, you can hear her appreciating singer Gayathri Ashokan too. Something we all have to learn from the legends like Shreya Ghoshal, K.S.Chitra, A.R.Rahman, Sachin Tendulkar etc. I then felt, any aspiring singer who could watch her recording session could perform hundred times better than what they could do now. I was even thinking that I should take along one such highly talented singer along with me everytime I go to record her from then on. I would say he/she is my assistant incase she ask who this is. During this lockdown, as we all got enough & more time to ‘think’ , suddenly this idea popped up. Why should I limit it to one person. Why not share the raw footage of the recording session with everyone so that it could be inspiring for many. So here is the vastly edited footage of the 3hr recording session of ‘Jeevamshamayi’ with Shreya Ghoshal, which happened at singer Kailash Kher’s studio in Mumbai. I hope you’ll love it. Do share your thoughts too.
