Scaling the starry heights: KK charts a musical course
Its been a long journey for playback singer Krishan Kumar Menon a.k.a. KK, from Delhis Green Park Delhi to Mumbais Versova. From playing in bands at Mounts St Marys School and Kirori Mal College to recording his first jingle for Hero Honda, KK admits lifes been tough.
I never knew Id be a singer. In fact, I changed several jobs (hotel, sales and marketing) before my wife Jyothy shifted to Mumbai and I decided to join her. The day our first son Nakul was born I got a call to record my first song, says KK.
After singing jingles in 11 languages for three years, KK, 35, got his break in Gulzars Maachis where he sang Chhod aaye hum. Hes working on his second album now. My first album Pal did well despite the fact that it came at the time when Bhangra was ruling. My new album should be out by July, he says.
He considers Tadap tadap (Hum Dil Chuke Sanam) as the turning point of his career, though his favourite song is Tu aashiqui hai (Jhankaar Beats). Tadap tadap gave me a foothold. But I refused many similar songs after that to avoid getting typecast, he smiles. Numbers as varied as Awarapan (Jism), Man mera (Agnivarsha) and Its the time to disco (Kal Ho Naa Ho) gave him a chance to experiment. Forthcoming films featuring his voice include Rudraksh, Idiot and Main Hoon Na.
KK believes his family is as important as his career. Ive seen people forget their priority in life, and by the end of it they have neither a career nor a family. Balance in life is the buzzword for me, even if it means letting go some lucrative projects, he concludes.
