Had a wonderful time writing the vocal arrangement for AR Rahman's newest song "Kya Kamaal Hai" from the movie "Main Wapas Aaunga", directed by Imtiaz Ali.
Here's an acapella arrangement i wrote of Kya Kamaal Hai with phrases in different languages, written as a choral/barbershop style tag. Each of my faces has a number corresponding to the vocal part you can see in each image! Hope yall dig it! (please excuse my misspelling of Kamaal and a couple of number typos).
Original Song Info:
Song: Kya Kamaal Hai
Composed by: @arrahman
Directed by: @imtiazaliofficial
Sung by: @diljitdosanjh
Hey everyone! When you get the chance, put on some headphones and check out my acapella version of the song by Shashwat Sachdev & Roshan, "Ishq Jalakar - Karvaan" from the movie "Dhurandhar". Some fun juicy harmonies on top of the original lead singer's voice. Hope you enjoy it!
vocal arrangement: yours truly
thanks @raaahul30_07 for putting the video together!
In 2004 my life changed when I was a junior in high school and i attended a Vocal Majority rehearsal, under the direction of Jim Clancy. I was an aspiring 17 year-old arranger/conductor and i ended up meeting the GOAT. At the time i was fortunate to be recruited by some of the best music schools in the US, but would opt to stay in North Texas to be a part of the group and sing for Jim. After 10 years of picking his brain, 400+ rehearsals, and almost a hundred concerts, i made the journey to India in 2014. Everything i gathered in during those 10 years i still apply today. Forever grateful to have known one of the best humans to ever exist.
*Second slide throwback to me conducting a Vocal Majority classic "A Nightingale Sang in Berkley Square" as Jim watched. #RIP

Hello folks! Grab some headphones and do check out my rendition of "Ave Maria" by Franz Biebl. This is one of the greatest choral pieces ever written that I had the pleasure of getting to sing in high school and college choirs, made famous by the renowned choral group @chanticleersf Hope you enjoy it. Cheers!

What an amazing moment to finally meet and hang with one of my idols, @andersedenroth and his lovely wife. Anders was one of the founding members of one of the greatest vocal groups of all time, The Real Group @therealgroupofficial . He sang with them for over 30 years and was one of the primary arrangers of the group as well. He has been one of the biggest influences for me as a vocal arranger when I first started writing arrangements 20 years ago.
Hey everyone! Here's my rendition of the classic tune "Battle Hymn of the Republic", arranged by the legend Clay Hine. Originally sung by the 1992 International Champion quartet Keepsake. The end of the tune has one of the greatest tags ever written. Hope you all dig it, and hope all are well!
Thanks @jb__jonathan for shooting the video and to my brother @gnd_shyam for the edit!
