SONG FOR AUSTRALIA
This is fantastic! I came across this story and I thought it worthy of a mention for it's unique and inspiring story.
Manjit Boparai was a teacher and author from India before emigrating to Australia in 1988. He moved his family to Brisbane in the mid 1990's and took a job as a taxi driver.
With the opportunity to tell overseas visitors riding in his cab, what a great and diverse country Australia really is, Manjit decided to write a song so he could play it to his cab riding audience.
The song Manjit wrote in 2003, "Song Australia" was on high rotation in his Brisbane taxi until March 2005 when Manjit's cab picked up film maker Faramarz K-Rahber. Manjit told Faramarz of his dream to make a Bollywood music video and between them they set out to make it happen.
Working with Australia's SBS television Manjit and Faramarz produced a documentary and music video showing off Australia and its wonderful multi cultural population.
Read the lyrics to "Song Australia" here.
Manjit's website for "Song Australia" is here.
As an independent musician there are some excellent lessons here on marketing and never giving up on your dreams.
