Punjabi pop seems to be an ever-growing field with new singers bursting on the scene regularly. The latest entrant is Madan Maddi, a stage singer based in Canada, whose album Has Bol Ve has been released by Tips.
This graduate in mechanical engineering has been pursuing music only as a hobby. He does not belong to a musical family and has not received any formal training in the field. He is fond of traditional Punjabi folk music, but also likes to experiment.
He has not made much of a mark as a crooner, but holds promise. He exudes confidence and believes that his hard work will not go waste. He has been greatly influenced by Punjabi singers Sardul Sikander and Sukhwinder Singh.
Madan went with a friend to Canada for a stage performance, where his talent was appreciated and he decided to take up music as a profession. His first album, ýMohabattaný, was released in Canada in 1992 and later released in India. His second album, ýMaan Na Kariyeý, was released in India in 1998.
This time he has come out with ýHas Bol Veý, a romantic and peppy album. The music director, Sukhshinder Shinda, has combined Punjabi folk music with western beats to come out with an impressive foot-tapping score. The video of the title track has been appearing on various television channels.
Madan has also written some of the songs for this album. His personal favourite from the album is the number Tu ki chheez hai kudiye... This rising Punjabi pop star has pinned high hopes on his latest effort.
