Playback singer Shaan recently treated his audience to a nostalgic concert dedicated to the legendary Kishore Kumar. He believes that both studio sessions and live performances play a crucial role in a singer’s growth.
Shaan shared his insights in an interview at his office before the concert, discussing the nuances of live singing and studio work. He expressed, “Both have their own charm, and when you’re creating a song, at that point, you know you’re actually singing for the first time. When the song comes out, in your voice, it’s a huge responsibility. You sing it in a way that the song has longevity, so that people will still listen to it 10, 15, 20 years from now. That presents a different kind of challenge and fun. When it comes to live singing, you only get one chance. You can’t go back on what you’re doing.”
He also emphasized the importance of connecting with the audience. “In this show, we’ve done a lot of planning. During a live performance, some things will resonate with the audience, so we extend those, while others might not connect as much, so we cut those short. You can’t lose that connection, not even for a second. It’s all very well curated and planned, considering what song will follow another and what its scale will be. It’s all planned to the T.”
The concert, titled ‘Forever Kishore Shaan Se’, was held on September 19 in the BKC area of Mumbai, presented by Namrata Gupta Khan and Rabbani Mustafa Khan of NR Talent and Event Management.
