SCOOP!! & NEWS Deeyah: Asian J-Lo in the making30th Dec 2004 18.00 IST By ApunKaChoice Bureau The 26-year-old Deeyah is a Norwegian who traces her roots to India and Pakistan. She is touted by the Sunday Times as "the next big thing" waiting to happen on the Asian music circuit. Deeyah has trained in Indian classical music under Pakistan's Ustad Shaukat Hussain Khan and Ustad Sultan Khan of India. She first came to the world's notice with her first album 'In All Kinds of Light' which was in Norwegian and fused Indian classical folk with pop and jazz. 
In her second album, released by BMG Norway, Deeyah came forth as the new singing diva, who not only knows her music, dance steps, but writes her own songs too. The album spawned two top 10 hits and contained elements of modern western pop and urban music, Pakistani folk tunes and Indian ragas. And now Deeyah has just finished recorded her forthcoming album 'Plan Of My Own' in the US. The album is being produced by Darin Prindle, who has worked with international artists like Destiny's Child, Madonna, Boyz II Men and Usher. "My genre is mixed, I love singing R&B, pop, rock and classical. When I wrote 'Plan Of My Life', I knew it would work for me. It has international appeal," said Deeyah about her coming album. Next year, she plans to sing with rapper Little John, Bonecrusher and Moby. Deeyah and US rapper Bonecrusher will feature together in a song titled 'I Saw You'. |
