Musical extravaganza

Musical extravaganza



Ashanthi



Nalin Perera

The Ceylon School for the Deaf and Blind need to improve further the welfare, education and quality of the students of both schools. As such a host of contemporary young musicians and singers have come together to provide the best in entertainment at the car park of the Hilton Colombo on September 21 from 6.00 p.m. onwards.

The day coincides with the 21st birthday bash of the hotel and guests attending this musical extravaganza will be treated to the very best of acts in Sri Lanka - Marians, Ashanthi, Iraj, Centigradz, Chinthy, Natasha, Phase 3. Well that’s not all!

The dancing stars from the TV world Dushyanth Weeraman and Hashini will provide the exciting glitz for the evening while Revelations The ‘Choir Champions’ will be in sharp focus, displaying their award winning vocal artistry.

A search for Ashanthi the “hip hop Queen” took us to the recording studio where she was streamlining the music tracks of her second album which contains Hantane and Pem Kumara.

“I’m looking forward to meeting up with my fans at this bash. I’ve been busy recording four new music videos which I will be completing before the end of this month. Hantane will be released in two weeks. In all probality I will be singing new songs from my second album to rapport with my fans.

On October 1, B & S will be leaving abroad for three weeks for a series of six concerts. We will be performing in London, USA and Canada and will be returning by October 21” an effusive Ashanthi clues us in.As for the Marians we were able to speak with their dynamic leader Nalin Perera who coincidentally talked of leaving our shores to proceed to Korea for a concert.”

We will be leaving on September 11 morning. There will be two concerts for us on September 13 and 14, and we will be back home on September 16.


Iraj

Do you back singers performing English songs?

“Yes we do. We played at many corporate events and at dances. We were in Nuwara Eliya for the season. We enjoy playing an English repertoire. Because of the different styles and rhythms we have learnt a lot.”

What about composing?

“I’ve done that for new comers. I’ve been in the field for twenty years. I’ve released six CD’s in the last six years. Our unplugged concert at the BMICH is now on DVD. Coming back to new talent I’m happy about the standard. We need competition and the music industry needs them to take over after us.”

So make your tracks to the anniversary concert and be a part of the music and the surprising cuisine in a carnival atmosphere, all in aid of the Ceylon School for the Deaf and Blind.

Jennifer Lopez: Celebrates her 39th birthday

On Thursday singing sensation Jennifer Lopez celebrates her 39th birthday in quite a low profile manner along with her darling hubby Marc Anthony.

Reporters have grabbed more information about Jennifer Lopez’s birthday celebration. While giving interview to a popular media channel on Friday Jennifer Lopez said , "It's almost like every day is her birthday ... so last night we just wanted it to be quiet and, you know, have a nice quiet evening together."

The couple snuck into the Tony-winning musical ‘In the Heights’ and got "to sit in an audience and watch other people be nervous." This bit of information is put forth by Marc Anthony himself.

When asked about touring with babies called Max and Emme, Anthony said, "When your foundation is stable and you're good, it doesn't really affect anything. It just amplifies what the experience feels like. It's that much more fulfilling, and you look forward to coming home. It's a great time."

BoyZone Re- Unite in May This Year

Boyzone hone in on Blickling

One of the biggest selling bands of the 1990s have revealed that they’re on their way to play an outdoor gig at Blickling Hall, near Aylsham, this summer.

Boyzone.

Boyzone have become men since their reunion

Take That have done it, the Spice Girls have done it, with Boyzone now following suit with a reunion and a tour which is coming to Blickling.

The Irish band – who announced they were getting back together in November last year – are to play an open-air gig in the refined parklands of the north Norfolk stately home on Sunday, 20 July, 2008.

All five original members of Boyzone will be reunited for the Back Again – No Matter What road trip – the group's first in seven years.

The Blickling Hall picnic-style concert has been added to the band's tour, which starts in May.

Boyzone got together in 1994 and had 16 top five hits on the trot, including six number one singles and five number one albums.

They split after Ronan Keating chose to work on solo material – with the Blickling visit a return trip for the singer, who performed a sellout gig at the venue in 2005.

The boys – including Stephen Gately, Shane Lynch, Mikey Graham and Keith Duffy – decided to reform after rehearsals for 2007’s BBC Children In Need show.

Ronan said at the time: "We've been talking about getting back together for some time now. I can't wait to be back on the road and all the guys feel the same."

The Boyzone gig is the second act to be revealed by the venue's concert organisers - a Pop Party featuring 11 acts from the '80s will take place on Saturday, 19 July 2008.

Tickets costing £37.50 went on sale on Friday, 8 February, 2008 on Ticketline on 0871 424 4444 (plus booking fee), Blickling Hall on 0844 800 4308 (plus booking fee – personal callers paying by cash or cheque won't get charged a fee).

BBC Criticised For Non-Censoring of Boyzone Single

By Turlough Delaney

boyzone.jpg
That one, whathisname, him, the other one and whatdyacallhim

The BBC has found itself under sustained criticism over the last few days for its decision not to censor an old Boyzone hit from 1998.

BBC bosses decided to put the ‘classic’ track No Matter What back on their radio playlist in recognition of the Irish boyband’s unwanted reunion earlier this month.

Most other mainstream radio stations had taken the decision to censor all Boyzone ‘music’ in protest of the untalented fivesome getting back together and organising a tour for next year.

However, so as not to offend the public, the BBC have been playing an edited version of the track with altered lyrics in order to offset the deep hypocrisy underlying the song and the its singers. The original chorus will now be replaced with the lyrics:

No matter what we tell them/No matter what we say/ No matter that we hate each other/Its about money at the end of the day/No, no matter/Money’s all that matters to me…

Radio 1 controller Andy Parfitt has since come out and responded to furore. “Our decision not to censor Boyzone music and play their version of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s No Matter What was based on requests to Radio 1 by a significant number of twentysomething single women to do so in the wake of the reunion.

“We believe the women’s desire to hear Boyzone again was a way of helping them to escape the misery of their present lives and wallow in the nostalgia of their long gone blissful teenage years. And being a public service broadcaster we felt a duty to accede to these requests.

“At the same time, we at the BBC are mindful of our responsibility not to damage the mental health of our young audience by overexposing them to the brain-rotting effects of the Boyzone back catalogue. That is why we are careful only to play No Matter What with the altered lyrics that acknowledges the purely monetary motivation on the part of the group’s members.”

In an official letter of protest to his employers BBC Radio 1’s resident slop-jock Chris Moyles, said their decision to play the song, no matter what version, was totally wrong:

“I thought Radio 1 had ended their policy of giving a forum for ‘boybland’ non-entities inflicting their offensively soulless ‘music’ on the public. I and many of my fellow BBC DJs believe the national broadcaster should not be encouraging such a deeply cynical exercise by Boyzone to cash in on the current trend for waste-of-space pop groups reforming by putting one of their old hits on the A list.”

Radio phone-in shows on the BBC’s other stations, as well as their website forums have also been jammed with irate members of the public venting their spleen that old Boyzone crap is back polluting the airwaves.

Said one poster: “When Take That reformed we tolerated it because they split up years ago and weren’t all that bad really. Soon afterwards the Spice Girls announced their reunion and by then many of us were starting to get a bit uncomfortable, but we let it pass…

“But now these rejects have followed suit when nobody – absolutely NOBODY - wanted it! This band shouldn’t have existed in the first place - they had nothing to offer back then and they have zero relevance now. If I were a religious person I would say that this was the work of the Devil. And the BBC is encouraging it! The BBC is in league with Satan!”

So far, none of the five members of Boyzone have been arsed commenting on the scandal.

Spice Girls Stop Their Reunion Tour

The Spice Girls have played their final gig after their final reunion tour.

Spice Girls Stop Their Reunion Tour

The final stop on the girls’ whirlwind tour, which included 47 show in the US, Canada, Europe, was Toronto, where they ended the night with a group hug on stage.

Emma Bunton, Melanie Chisholm, Melanie Brown, Geri Halliwell and Victoria Beckham cut their “Return of the Spice Girls” tour.

On their website, the five wrote a short message to fans saying they hope “girl power” will live on through future generations.

She revealed, “Our time is up…we’ve come to the end of the road…there are tears of both sadness and joy,” they wrote, ending with the words: “mission accomplished.”

Each of the girls is thought to have new projects lined up, although Mel C. is expected to be the only one to release a solo album in the near future.

Pop Tarts: Oops! Britney Hits Hollywood Without Her Underwear While Her Dogs Run Amok in Hotel

Pop Tarts: Oops! Britney Hits Hollywood Without Her Underwear While Her Dogs Run Amok in Hotel

LOS ANGELES — Britney Spears is proving yet again that she can't help but show off her private parts to the public.

The songstress stepped out of her Cadillac Escalade en route to the B2V Borrelli-Vo Salon in West Hollywood on Tuesday evening, willfully displaying her uncovered crotch to the packs of paparazzi.

"She didn't care at all," a pap on the scene told Pop Tarts. "People were warning her to pull her dress down, but she just ignored them and made her way inside the salon."

(Hey, maybe she was getting a Brazilian wax and it was just easier this way...)

Spears' panty-free fetish first hit the headlines in December 2006, when she was photographed out and about with Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan without underpants.

However, this isn't the only deja vu regarding Brit's behavior. The pop princess seems to have uncovered a passion for pampering. Over recent months, Spears has been spotted several times a week making her way in and out of numerous spas and salons from the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills to Sunset Tan to the Peninsula Hotel.

But sadly, we don't think it has anything to do with preparing for this weekend's Academy Awards.

"Britney has always had a complex about her appearance," an inside source told Tarts. "People think because she goes around without panties that she must be proud, but I think her self-esteem is very low. Brit loves the attention she gets through these beauty treatments and it gives her temporary pleasure to escape from what's really going on."

But speaking of Spears' interest in The Peninsula Hotel, Pop Tarts busted the pop princess "in the act" at the five-star Beverly Hills location on Wednesday. Brit caused chaos as she arrived to apparently check out some more spa services, prompting hotel staff to angrily shoo the packs of paps away.

Brit allowed her five dogs to run amok in the luxe lobby while she skipped through the building, all smiles. But her panty-free antics from the day before prompted the peeps in a suite upstairs (who were hosting a private viewing of Melissa Odabash's stunning swim '08 collection) to extend an invitation.

"We've invited Britney to come upstairs and (hopefully) choose one of the cute new swimsuits to cover up in," said a rep for the high-end London-based label. "We love Britney; we want to help her."

Sadly, Spears was a no-show.

English Rose? Kate Beckinsale Plays Princess

Walt Disney Studios in Los Angeles was abuzz on Tuesday afternoon with the "Chevy Goes Green" concert headlined by tween sensations the Jonas Brothers.

However, we think the whole "organic" vibe of the event went a little too much to Kate Beckinsale's head, because she resembled something of an English rose.

Beckinsale appeared on the carpet coyly by herself, smiling and waving cutely but refusing to say a single word before quickly disappearing.

However, the British beauty must have noticed that the likes of Shanna Moakler and Shar Jackson actually were there with/for their kids, so she finally came back with her daughter (and her daughter's friend) in tow. But still no word from behind those black "don't-touch-me" sunglasses.

Pop Tarts was excited, however, to witness a "90210" reunion between former on-screen lovers Luke "Dylan" Perry and Jennie "Kelly" Garth. While the "Dancing With the Stars" starlet hasn't aged a day, we can't exactly say the same for the now (very hairy) 41-year-old former pin-up boy...

Will Ferrell Encourages Petit Larceny

Funnyman Will Ferrell again was up to his usual bad behavior at the premiere of his new flick, "Semi-Pro," on Tuesday night, unveiling exactly how he earned his keep before "making it" in Tinseltown.

"Steal money from your mother and your father’s wallets or purses and sneak into the movie," Ferrell advised Pop Tarts.

But one man we would not recommend pilfering from is his "apparent" best friend — the 325-pound, 7.1-foot-tall NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal.

"I 'borrow' clothes from Shaquille O'Neal," he added sheepishly. "Yeah, I borrow from Shaq, that's all I can say, really. This is the Shaquille O’Neal collection. We're pretty tight. We roll, we roll together when he allows me to roll with him."

SEX TAPE 'starring' BRITNEY SPEARS has been leaked on the net

On tape ... Brit reportedly has

A SEX TAPE 'starring' BRITNEY SPEARS has been leaked on the net, according to reports.

American TV station Fox News say that a 30-minute video of the singer was posted on the web yesterday.

The raunchy footage is said to show a shaven-headed Britney performing sex acts on two women and a male companion.

During the video, the Toxic star is said to look dazed and consumes alcohol and "what appears to be cocaine and marijuana".

If true, the sex tape could prove to be another dent in her child custody chances.

However there have been plenty of rumors and fake sex tapes before, with no real ones featuring Britney ever surfacing.

Britney Spears hospitalized

Britney Spears hospitalized


LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- Pop star Britney Spears remained hospitalized Friday, hours after police were called to her home Thursday night to mediate a custody dispute.

Police initially said Spears was taken to a hospital for tests to see if she was under the influence of alcohol or drugs and for a psychological evaluation after the situation at her home, but Officer April Harding said Friday she could not confirm that or other reports that Spears was hospitalized for mental evaluation.

"For her own welfare, she was transferred to a local hospital for medical treatment," Harding said, according to The Associated Press.

On Friday morning, lawyers representing Spears and her ex-husband, Kevin Federline, spent about 30 minutes in chambers Friday with Los Angeles County Superior Court Commissioner Scott Gordon, who has been handling the couple's custody dispute, the AP reported. The attorneys did not comment to reporters. Video Watch what's going on with Spears' behavior »

Spears appeared to be conscious as she was rolled out of her Studio City home on a gurney about three hours after police and ambulances arrived there Thursday night.

According to the AP, officers were called to Spears' house around 8 p.m. to respond to a custodial dispute with ex-husband Kevin Federline over their sons, 2-year-old Sean Preston and 1-year-old Jayden James, Officer Jason Lee of the Los Angeles Police Department said.

The children were returned to Federline, who has primary legal custody of the two sons, a police spokesman said.

Aerial video provided by local television station helicopters showed Spears on a stretcher and surrounded by police and paramedics as it was rolled to an ambulance near her home. Paparazzi came out in force, following the ambulance as it left.

Another group of paparazzi met the vehicle at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, some banging on the ambulance doors, according to the AP.

Spears has been in a heated battle with ex-husband Kevin Federline over custody of their two sons, Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1. Timeline: Britney in the news »

Federline, Spears' former backup dancer, holds primary custody of the children. Spears has been in trouble with the court earlier concerning her compliance with court orders in the custody case.

Spears appeared for a deposition in the case earlier Thursday, Federline attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan told reporters during the day, according to the AP. She was deposed for 14 minutes, Kaplan said.

Spears' attorneys, Trope and Trope, had filed a motion Wednesday asking to be relieved as her counsel due to a "breakdown" in communication with Spears. E-mail to a friend E-mail to a friend

Celine Dion released new albem "Taking Chances"

Celine Dion - Taking Chances (2007)

Who wouldn’t love the new album from Celine Dion? I still got this song from Titanic in my mind from time to time although it seriously looked this artist is “offline” for a while. But her new album Taking Chances changes this and reviewers go off the scale in their positive criticism. 18 new songs are waiting for you…

The long awaited English language return from the Canadian megastar is the follow up to the 2007 French effort ‘D’elles,’ and is the prolific singer’s 34th full length release. ‘Taking Chances’ sees Dion teaming up with a host of internationally renowned songwriters including Dave Stewart and LindaPerry to produce yet another album of heartstring-tugging power balladry enhanced by her inimitable vocal talents. The album also features the likes of R Kelly and Ben Moody on production duties and includes the single ‘Taking Chances.’

Céline Marie Claudette Dion (born March 30, 1968) is a Canadian singer and occasional songwriter and actress. Born to a large, impoverished family in Charlemagne, Québec, Dion emerged as a teen star in the French-speaking world after her manager and would-be husband René Angélil mortgaged his home to finance her first record. In 1990 she released the anglophone album Unison, establishing herself as a viable pop artist in North America and other English speaking areas of the world.

Blackout, _Britney Spears' new album, will be released on October 30,

Britney Spears' new album, Blackout, will be released on October 30, two weeks before its original due date. A Jive Records representative says, "due to numerous unauthorized online leaks, the label is doing everything possible to prevent and avoid any further illegal distribution of songs." The first single from Blackout is a song called "Gimme More."

LOS ANGELES (AFP) - Britney Spears has brought forward the release date of her long-awaited comeback album by two weeks after a string of illegal leaks hit the Internet, her record company said Wednesday.

Jive Records said in a statement that Spears' album -- "Blackout" -- would now go on sale on October 30 after songs and demos from the record were distributed online.

"Due to these numerous unauthorized on-line leaks, the label is doing everything possible to prevent and avoid any further illegal distribution of songs including moving up the release date of the album to October 30th," a statement from Jive Records said.

Spears' hopes of relaunching her career may hinge on the success of the new album, which comes after a period of turmoil in the pop princess's private life that last week saw her lose custody of her two children.

It followed a disastrous public performance in September at the MTV Video Music Awards to showcase her new single "Gimme More" which was widely lambasted as "lackluster, bumbling and underwhelming."

Among the collaborators on the album are producers Bloodshy & Avant on "Piece of Me," "Toy Soldier," "Freakshow" and "Radar," Kara DioGuardi on "Heaven and Earth" and Nate "Danjahandz" Hills on "Gimme More," "Get Naked (I Got a Plan)," "Hot As Ice" and "Perfect Lover."

T-Pain is credited as one of three writers on "Hot As Ice," while Pharrell Williams wrote, co-produced (as half of the Neptunes) and sings backup on closer "Why Should I Be Sad."

Here is the track list for "Blackout":

1. "Gimme More"

2. "Piece of Me"

3. "Radar"
4. "Break the Ice"
5. "Heaven on Earth"

Britney Spears delivers solid album with 'Blackout'

With all her tabloid drama in the past few years (the wobbly marriage and messy divorce, the rehab, the custody battle, the pathetic MTV "comeback" performance), it's easy to forget that Britney Spears once made infectious and sometimes excellent pop music.

The sad details of her chaotic personal life have all but obliterated her success as a performer. But she remains one of the biggest-selling female artists of all time, selling more than 83 million albums since her 1999 debut, "... Baby One More Time."

Four years after her last studio album, 2003's "In the Zone," Spears returns with "Blackout," available Tuesday. And like its predecessor, the CD is sprinkled with irresistible bits of ear candy.

Spears' hit formula -- pulsating club beats overlaid with layers of icy synths and breathy, heavily processed vocals -- is still intact. And apparently there's a demand for it since Jive Records, Spears' label, pushed up the album's release date by three weeks.

Nothing on the CD is as adventurous as her last smash, the Grammy-winning "Toxic." Much of the music maintains a metallic, futuristic sheen, bolstered by Spears' robotic vocals.

The album opens with her current hit, "Gimme More," the throbbing number the pop superstar disastrously performed on the MTV Video Music Awards in September. Afterward, the 11 other songs pulse in the same vein with little tempo variation. Featuring production by Danja, the Neptunes and others, Blackout breezes by in less than 50 minutes, so it's perfectly tailored for continuous club play. Throughout the new album, she still equates maturity with transparent sexuality. The current single, "Get Naked (I Got a Plan)" and "Freakshow" are danceable examples.

But when some of the layers are stripped away and Spears' colorless vocals are pushed up, the results are very bland. "Heaven On Earth," for instance, starts off like a bad imitation of Donna Summer's "I Feel Love" before morphing into a cheesy synth concoction.

As it stands, though, "Blackout" is a solid album from Spears, one that shouldn't disappoint her legion of fans. And given all that she's been through since her last CD, it's amazing she was able to pull it off.

Now, Starlanka.blogspot.com has received information regarding, before the new album has been released, the songs are out without acknowledge of producers via internet. But we are not going to published the addresses here as it will be a pirate of the new creations. We expect do it after some time as we done to Harry potter book series.

Still, any one can download all the books free via this web site. Because, we thought many of us can't afford to buy those 6 books but like to read them. Only an innocent imagination. Then we went forward to fulfill your expectation with the help of other reputed webs like "file networks" .We know companies spend large amount of money to produce a new album. It's not fare to download free from the beginning, that'll not help them anyway.We must give some time for them to earn and get profit for their product without getting it free. Please be patient !

************************************************

Posted in the biography from the official site: "Backstreet Boys spent a year-and-a-half recording 'Unbreakable,' which marks a confident return to the pop template that best defines the group’s sound. First single “Inconsolable,” produced by Emanuel Kiriakou (Nick Lachey, Celine Dion, Katharine McPhee), is a classic piano-driven midtempo ballad reminiscent of the group’s biggest hits. Upon its release in September 2007, it was an instant add at pop radio stations across the country.

All 13 tracks on the set, in fact, demonstrate an organic ease with material that is an ideal fit. “Helpless When She Smiles” is another stunning hit-worthy midtempo ballad, produced by Grammy-winning John Shanks (Kelly Clarkson, Sheryl Crow, Bon Jovi, Hilary Duff). A number of other tracks were produced and co-written in Nashville by Dan Muckala, who worked with Backstreet Boys on previous album “Never Gone.” Among his standouts is the moody Beatles-esque “Unsuspecting Sunday Afternoon”—a song that all four singers herald as a highlight of the set. BSB asked heralded songwriter Billy Mann to collaborate on the song with Muckala. "The result," says Brian, “is a love story, but with an unexpected message that really makes you think. Melodically, the bridge becomes another song, which I love. It’s really all about the emotion of the vocals, and it’s different than any other track we’ve recorded.”

The boys met Muckala five years ago, when he was writing for a number of Christian artists. “He was sort of trapped in that category and we could tell he was ready to blossom into the secular world,” Howie says. “We were lucky to catch him at that stage, and he really inspired us with ‘Incomplete,’” the first single from “Never Gone.” “Sometimes people have that huge hit and their rates triple and they lose their humility. But Dan remains humble and we were all eager to work together again.”

Also among priorities this time around, BSB wanted to include enough uptempo tracks on the new album to showcase in their trademark kinetic live shows. Synthesizer-soaked “Everything But Mine,” playfully frenetic “Panic,” galloping “Any Other Way” and creepy crawler “One in a Million” ably fit the bill."

On Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007, "Unmistakable" (which Muckala co-wrote and produced with Adam Anders who also penned the Backstreet Boys' hit single "More Than That") and "Something That I Already Know" were released on RateTheMusic.com and Promosquad.com as new tracks members may rate. The next day, October 3rd, a clip from a radio station located in Japan apparently leaked the full version of the song, "Everything But Mine", along with the intro of the album. "Everything But Mine" was the first full song leak for "Unbreakable" since "Helpless When She Smiles" (Not including "Inconsolable"), which let out in the late Spring of 2007.

On Thursday, October 11th, 2007, an online music store released clips from all the tracks on the album, "Unbreakable", including the two bonus tracks (for specific editions), "Downpour" and "In Pieces".

On Monday, October 22nd, 2007, the full album was leaked on various P2P Sites due to Japan's release date for the album. This included 3 European bonus tracks.

On Wednesday, October 24th, 2007, "Unbreakable" debuted at #1 on Japan's Oricon Daily Albums Chart with 10,682 units sold.

Iraj - From the new generation

From the new generation :
Amazing Iraj

-- The Friday ' News

Iraj Weeraratne born February 21, 1981, is a Music Producer known for his involvement in the island’s new generation music scene.

Iraj has amazed Sri Lanka’s music moguls through his unprecedented climb to the helm of the island’s entertainment industry. His amazing track record of No.1 singles, a consecutive series of top 10 hits, and last year’s No.1 debut album “Iraj” has made him go beyond a local household name, into an internationally recognized and celebrated figure.

In modern Sri Lanka, the phenomenal growth of hip hop culture, and the ability of this music to blend into the island’s cultural and social context, have been catapulted by Iraj’s influence in shaping the interests of this tiny nation’s music tastes.

What amazes Sri Lanka’s entertainment analysts most is not how his debut album managed to break the island’s record for the ‘All time fastest-selling’ and ‘Fastest - selling debut’ after it surpassed the all important 100,000 mark in just four weeks, but how he was able to sell his “gangsta” beats from the urban to the rural, across age, racial and gender barriers.


The international attention paid to “Roots” meant that Iraj and his music were now being focused on beyond the shores of his tiny island home.

Following the success of his singles “Ill Noize” and “Ahankara Nagare” both in Sri Lanka and in European Asian charts, his next smash hit “J Town Story”, about the hopes and despair of a young boy from the war-torn city of Jaffna in northern Sri Lanka, cracked the neighbouring South Indian Tamil market. His increasing popularity in gigantic India meant that his music was to soon go beyond the South Indian market, capturing the attention of India’s HOM Records and getting his No.1 smash hit with Ranidu - “Ahankara Nagare” featured in their Asian Flava Vol: 01 album and video play on both MTV India and Channel V.

Now with his own radio show on Sri Lanka’s biggest Sinhala radio station Sirasa FM (Re-mix show with Iraj), a string of sold-out performances, and new collaborations with local artistes, “Iraj” has become an industry to himself.

Iraj’s 1st album was one big success. His second album and video DVD is expected. Iraj launched his own clothing brand “I Wear”.
