Ehsaan Noorani, of music composer trio, Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, feels the Hindi music industry is dominated by Bollywood songs.
The 52-year-old musician, who is currently judging the English music reality show ‘The Stage’, says the culture for pop songs and private albums do not exist anymore in India.
“The Hindi music industry is ruled by Bollywood. Music is backed by movies here. Earlier there was culture of Indian-pop songs, singers like Baba Sehgal, Alisha Chinoy, Lucky Ali, Adnan Sami but today they have dwindled,” Ehsaan told PTI in an interview.
“They used to come up with their own songs or album but today they are not seen. There is market for it. There should be a financial backing for such albums. We need corporate backing,” he added.
Apart from ‘The Stage’, Ehsaan has a slew of upcoming films as a composer with his musical trio.
“We are excited about Mirziya , Baar Baar Dekho , Rock On 2 and a film with Hrithik Roshan. We would make Shraddha Kapoor sing in Rock On 2 , she is a good singer,” he added.
