They’ve been successful in bringing a smile to each one’s face. Their Music is heartening and inspiring. They‘ve always been keen to learn more and more for perfection. They lighten up the minds through their personifying songs. They are a source of motivation for the budding artists and they call themselves JOSHISH.

JOSHISH is an Arabic-Persian word that means Junoon. The band members define JOSHISH as their zeal and passion for Music. JOSHISH depicts a lot of energy, excitement, earnestness, fervour and ardour.

HISTORY

It all started in March 2006, when Sameer Rahat, bassist of the band and also the DJ who’s been spinning the records since 3 years was hit by an idea to give new horizons to his passion for Music and he shared his idea with Shwetang Shankar.

Shwetang is exceptionally talented drummer and known to set the drums on fire and blood. Both of them joined hands with Pranjal Joshi, the keyboard player and initially who was the vocalist of the band. He has a magical control on the keys of synthesizer. And together they set forth looking for the best among the best to complete their band. Before they started their search for a guitarist, They recorded their first track using a cheap headphone with Pranjal performing Singing duties, Synth duties and Rhythm duties. Shwetang did the Guitar duties and Sameer helped with the musical arrangement and acted as a manager. Then they discovered Shatarchi Hundet(Kittu), the Lead Guitarist of JOSHISH, the rockstar of the band who has an amazing stage presence and electrifying impact on the crowd. Sameer’s friend Shubham Tiwari was eventually talked into taking up Lead Guitars for the Band’s 1^st ever concert and Kittu took bass duties for a short span of time.

And thus, they got the ball rolling and for the first time the band came into being. Their first exposure was when they performed at a famous Coffee Shop on 15^th May 2006 and they thus added new chapter in the Music Culture of the City of Lakes.

Asif Zaidi, the lead vocalist of JOSHISH, was a synthesizer player during his school days. He tried on singing when he entered college and it was then, he realized that he was made for singing. He performed at various places as a solo artist until he saw JOSHISH performing at Coffee Café , It was enough to convince Asif and subsequently he joined JOSHISH in their journey. He has a voice that appeals to one’s heart and keeps the crowd captivated for hours and hours.

Now the band was all set to rock the city. They soon got their much awaited chance when they got to host the Youth Fest ’06 held at Bittan Market,Bhopal and were honoured the Best Band by the BSM Academy.

But still after all this JOSHISH felt a void within. They needed a second guitarist and soon came in Amit Mishra, the Rhythm guitarist of the band who is awesome at vocals also. He holds the experience of 11 years on guitars and has been playing with Laxmikant-Pyarelal, Udit Narayan, Shaan, Kunal Ganjawala and other big names of the Indian Music Industry. This was the last ingredient they needed, which added an Indian Classical approach to Band’s Music. And after this there was no looking back.

When asked their genre, the band members say,”Just like Music we too are Universal. We are not limited to any particular Genre of Music. Instead we had always played the kind of Music what we had been listening to, and people want us to play.” The Band also play their own genre called “Cold Metal”.

Till now, JOSHISH has performed at various places like Youth Fest ’06(Bhopal), Felsenfall 2006-07(Bhopal),Rajiv Gandhi Technical University(Bhopal), Rai Foundation College(Bhopal),COBA Rock Addiction II, Hidayatullah National Law University (Raipur), IDA Grounds Indore, ITM College Gwalior, SSSITS(Sehore), Ravindra Bhawan(Bhopal), Doordarshan,Café Coffee Day and various College Festivals and Clubs.

 

Within a short span of time they have reached to new heights, from anonymity to amazing popularity. They excite and create the fuzz. Their music nourishes and has an oasis impact on the deserted minds. They have proved something that has been said over and over again for ages but has now found a new meaning

“Music works where nothing works…”

 

 

mCk

Seeing the popularity of “mCk” we are tempted to share, How the song actually came into being. Well, it was one of those usual evening at a Coffee Shop, with us having a casual jam session and amidst all this, Sameer abruptly started humming a tune so appealing that we decided to have some fun out of it. Keeping aside all the laws of lyric writing, we all wrote simply what we felt. Something very true and equally witty. And that’s how an unusual evening transformed into “mCk”. After that, everytime we met whether for a hangout or for a jam session, it all started and ended with “mCk”. As days passed, the song became a favourite among all our friends and came forth the demand for the recorded version of the song. We were compelled to record the song and once the song was recorded, we thought why not upload it on to the Internet, so that even others can check it out. Never did we realise that this song will become such a Big hit and would create controversies even across the border.

Now coming back to the song, “The song’s about a guy who got betrayed in love and then again…”.For all those music freaks who have’nt yet heard the song, check out the below link and download “mCk”.
