- TriviaTIPS is again in pursuit of making a star. This time, it is experimenting with a voice which is said to have rocked many-a-club across Canada and UK. This singer, who was formally introduced by the company yesterday at a function held at Timber Trail Resorts, quite lives up to his name. As he entered the conference room last night, one could see a lot of glitter all around him - from his bleached hair to his stone-studded belt. Ask him how he manages to carry himself through with that wild style, and Jazzy Bains (who likes to be called Jazzy B ) replies, "I feel it is very important for a singer to look stylish. I am recognised by the curl of my hair. And I am quite comfortable with the way I look. Also, I can't discount the factor that all my life I have been abroad. Hence, I carry those traits."Bains talked primarily of his maiden release in India - Surma - an album which is being released by TIPS. Before he focused on the theme of the album, there was a short session of screening from the same. The main attraction of the song Husna di sarkar dilan nu lutde jave is former Gladrags supermodel John. The lead female in this album is straight from foreign. Said Jazzy, "I was quite particular on roping the foreign talent. I wanted that the album should feature a lot of foreign artistes. Hence, the girl. Even the music director of my album is based in London. The videos have been done by Kookie Gulati." Coming to the album, it is more of a play of sorts than a music album. More attention has been paid to dance sequences featuring semi-nude girls, than to the rhythm which is the soul of the song. Jazzy, however, defends the arrangement, saying, "We have only tried to provide something which the masses want. This is the kind of stuff which sells. And I also think that the music by Sukhshinder Sinda is original." Reacting to the remarks that his music is far from the roots, he said, "Through the first album, I just want to enter the world of Punjabi pop in India. In my next work, I will focus on traditional notes which will touch upon the real folk." Jazzy also talked of his passion as an actor and said that he had been offered a role in Raj Babbar's project Shaheed Udham Singh but which he could not do. As for music, he has no formal training in the same. "Though I have learnt from some people like Kuldipji, but I have never really been an all-time follower of anybody. Largely, I have learnt on my own."And his kind of music has been fairly successful abroad. That is the reason he is back in the land of his birth "in search of his moorings", as he puts it. "I want to stay put and contribute a lot to the field of music. Although I know there are many people who are better than me, I am sure that I will carve a place for myself," he said.
