DYNAMIX presents YASMIN RASHID
Label: Kult Records
Artists Genre: Dance
How did your recording "Elements” come about?
I had met one of my producers, songwriter
Beppe Savoni of Dynamix for my first
recording "Live" last year, and he told me about this
great song. I listened to the demo and I
thought it was really great! I knew we just
had to record it! When I heard those Dynamix mixes I
was blown away.
What is your musical background?
I have been singing since I was six. My
mother saw my immense interest in music,
and had me take specialized training in Indian
classical music during my childhood in
Bangladesh, where I originally come from. I performed
in many cultural and social events soon
after, and by the time I was in High School
I was quite well known in most social circles there.I
sang for the local radio and TV there, and
it was very well-appreciated by audiences.
Although my studies then and now, have not allowed me
to concentrate fully in music. I have now
begun to find both the time and opportunity
I needed for it, and I thank my producers Beppe Savoni
and Eddie Cumana for this chance.
Who are your musical influences?
I have been greatly influenced by some Indian
classical singers in my early years, and
popular songstress and sisters Lata and Asha
Mangeshkar, Manna Dey, and later, by a well
known Bangladeshi singer Sabina
Yasmin, as well as some contemporary, pop
and r&b singers here. I would like to
specially mention Stevie Wonder, Sting and Diana Ross.
Lately, I have been really
enjoying songs by Indian producer, and music director
A. R. Rahman for his contemporary-style
songs.
Did you ever release any other recordings before?
Yes - two others. One was a recording of
older Indian popular original recordings
[from the 60's & 70's], which were released both in
India and US,for mostly an ethnic
audience, and another with a popular Pakistani
singer as a duet album, yet to be released by a
company known as "Disco Recordings".
What do you want to achieve with your music?
I would like to create a new dimension in
today's music - cultural diversity
and meaningful lyrics. And if people can dance to it
too, then that's
great!
