Description:
Deepa Nair's first solo release, 'Into the Light' contains nine exotic melodic pieces from her expressive Indian classically trained voice. They are framed in a unique blend of Western chillout/orchestral/classical styles using both Indian and Western instruments. Beautiful raga based phrases provide the sublime emotions, and the result is a sound of universal appeal. Produced & arranged by Craig Pruess at the Heaven on Eearth Music Studios for that usual spaciously clear production. Deepa is known previously for her vocal work on the #1 UK & Indian feature film, 'Bride & Prejudice', and also Pt Ravi Shankar & George Harrison's album, 'Chants of India'. The CD features fine UK and India musician performances from: Tony Pleeth, Pt Ronu Majumdar, Deepak Pandit, Manjit Rasiya, Ben Pruess, Surjit Singh and, of course, Craig Pruess.
Biography:
A singer and songwriter born and educated in London, Deepa Nair has also been known as Deepa Singh. Her parents, originally from Kerala, in South India, were keen for her to be introduced to Indian classical music after they discovered her unusual ability in vocal music from a very early age. At the age of five years, Deepa was taken to India where she received training in Carnatic music (South Indian classical). Deepa's first stage performance was at the Karthika Thirunal Auditorium in Trivandrum, aged eight years, and she gave several more performances as a child artiste during her time in India. Having completed her formal education back in London, Deepa returned to India briefly and in 1986 became an approved recording artiste for All India Radio and Doordarshan (India's National TV network). Several of her performances of semi-classical and devotional music have been broadcast in India since that time.1989 saw Deepa's permanent return to London, where she started working as a session musician and concert performer. In 1991 she won the Best Hindi Female singer award in London and in 1996 was invited to record her voice on Pandit Ravi Shankar and George Harrison's popular album Chants of India.
