Louiz Banks is the man behind the lilting, haunting, musical score of the much talked about Mile Sur Mera Tumhara trilogy that made it big on the small screen. He is India's premier Jazz pianist since the last two decades as well as a prolific composer of music sound tracks for theatre, stage and feature films. He continues to be the most sought after music composer of jingles, corporate anthems, audio visuals and documentaries. In fact, he is considered to be the most prolific composer ever, of advertising jingles. Despite his tremendous commercial success, his first love remains Jazz related music. Known as the ‘Godfather of Jazz in India’, he has performed with hoards of well known Indian and International Musicians.
Shweta Shetty is an 80s girl who came on the scene with her Indi Pop album way back in 1990 when Indi pop was at its peak. She released an album at a time when there were no music channels, no MTV, no Channel V. In 1992 she was discovered at the Independence Rock concert singing Scorpion´s Still Loving You, which impressed a few A&R managers who were on the look out for some fresh talents for their new record label. She signed the contract the next week and that was the beginning of a wonderful, long and fruitful musical journey. The pop icon of the 90`s for more than a decade went on to sell above 13 million film/private album/compilation copies world-wide. She is also famous for her album ‘Johnny Joker’ which went on to become the highest selling pop album in 1993 and was in every count down for more than 25 weeks and made her the darling of the nation. She worked with A.R. Rahman and her classics like Rukhmani Rukhmani, Johnny Joker, Deewane Tho Deewane Hain and Mangtha Hain Kya are still remembered. In Europe, Shweta had the great honour of working together with one of the finest voices in the world, Sarah Brightman. She´s now made Hamburg, Germany her second home.
An actor par excellence, Dalip Tahil has acted in over 250 feature films. He is not new in the music space and has been a part of many Musicals such as Evita and Sound of Music. Dalip has performed in International Theatre Productions such as Bombay Dreams as well as being a part of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s production.
