 Since 1987 Remo has been the highest record selling pop/rock artist in the English language in India , and is the only one to have earned Gold Discs in this category here. Since his foray into Hindi he has been at the top of that category too, with three film songs (" Jalwa ", " Humma Humma " and " Huya Ho ") going double platinum and topping every Indian press, radio and television hit chart.
Remo made the decision to make his original music his profession (he is a Bachelor of Architecture) at a time when there was no pop music scene in the country. In 1983 there was no air play on radio and television (they were both monopolized by the government, who refused to accept pop music's existence); no record companies willing to sign a contract (specially as Remo wrote and sang in English; they said "Give us Hindi disco and we'll sign you on right now!"); and the only concerts where one could play were so-called charity ones where the organizers mainly took artists for a ride.
Besides his tremendous success with records, Remo is known as a stage performer and entertainer without equal in this country, and is the only Indian pop/rock artist to perform totally LIVE, without fake lip-sync or even backing tapes. He has represented India at the Tokyo Music Festival , the Festival of India in the USSR , the MIDEM '96
Music Festival in Hong Kong , besides Festivals in Germany , Bulgaria , Macau , Seychelles and Mauritius . He has performed in Europe , the USA , the Middle East , Australia , Africa , Reunion Island , etc.
PEPSI USA chose him, as India 's leading pop/rock star, to endorse and star in Pepsi's first two launch films here - films which made advertising history in India. |
