Boman Irani sang at the spirit of Hope concert for the Shillong Chamber choir. Boman tells us, “ I have not had any formal training in music but I love singing. This is the third time I have sung for them. I got introduced to them through a common friend. This year I sang two songs-white Christmas with the children and a solo, Love Changes Everything. I came for the finale too. While I don’t get nervous on stage, I get pre-stage jitters instead which is good as the nervous energy challenges you to perform your best. I like being on stage and I loved the tracks which I sung. “ Boman adds, that he has no plans to do an album or do playback singing for films.
“I have got too much on my plate right now and music is a full-time commitment. I had to keep on rehearsing with the choir. To me this experience is special because of the Shillong Chanber Choir which I think is like one of our national treasures. Apart from the fact that the music is soothing to your ears they have something very angelic about them. Their work culture, lifestyle and personalities and what they bring with them as a group like a single elevated soul is almost ethereal and something nearer to God. It felt like a mental cleansing for me and you feel like a better person. It’s music for not just for your ears but for your soul too.”
