Now Bombay Vikings Available for Booking in These Cities
Bombay Vikings were formed in 1994 in Stockholm, Sweden. Mats introduced Neeraj Shridhar to Oscar Soderberg. This brought together three very talented musicians—each experienced in his own field. The band was born primarily because all the musicians shared one interest in common—the love for Indian melodies, be it in Hindi films or classical music.
Neeraj, with his voice control, diction, and sheer range, became a sound vocal base. His ability to pull strings on the guitar and to compose and write songs—ranging from pop rock, jazz, hip-hop, soul, and reggae—took the band to a higher plane.
Mats—the man with tremendous lungpower—brought in the rich sounds of the saxophone. Mats, a specialist in jazz, used this knowledge to profit while composing for the new band.
Mats & Johan Folke, a keyboard specialist, used their years of exposure to the different genres of music to work magic on the keys of the synthesizer.
The band was soon joined by Morgan on the drums, Par on the bass, and Staffan as a lead guitarist.
The Bombay Vikings were now complete and began performances live all over Sweden and Norway. When all the musicians got together and began jamming, little did they know that they would be coming out with a new form of music. But the thirst to do something creative for India—the land of their preferred brand of music—was always there.
For although Neeraj had shifted base to Sweden, his heart still swayed to the music of Indian tunes such as Oh Mere Sona Re, Mere Sapon Ki Rani, and Mere Samne Wale Khidki Mein played constantly in his mind, but soon he realized that though the tunes rang clearly in his melodies, the words came with difficulty.
He was traveling from Stockholm to Uppsala by train. Looking out of the window, he saw a car running parallel to his train. Flashes of Rajesh Khanna and Sharmila Tagore in Aradhana came in his mind, as did a clutch of words from Mere Sapno Ki Rani suddenly; the lyrics did a back flip in his mind and became:
Give your heart to me; I’ll be your lover, boy
I’ll be your sweetest candy and your huggy toy!
The words began to come in a flow, and the song was over. It reached the studio and began, She’s A Heartbreakin’ Woman—and the rest is history!
His album, apart from the above-mentioned songs, had the title song “KYA SURAT HAI,” which made immediate recognition with the youth. The album remained at the top of all chartbusters for almost 11 months. Thus increasing the popularity of Bombay Vikings all over the world.
Bombay Vikings were back again with their next album, “Woh Chali Woh Chali.”
The video is all about how the sheer exuberance of the music makes the crowd forget their blues and sway away to the rhythm. Neeraj, the lead singer, gets the crowd to groove to the title track, what with the infectious enthusiasm that his singing emanates.
Woh Chali again was on the Top 10 of all music channels for over a year & is said to have sold more than over 7 lakh units & is still going strong. The popularity of Bombay Vikings & the sales made the music company release another two videos of the album Woh Chali on the tracks of Jambola & later on Angel Eyes (video shot in Australia). Both of these numbers made an immediate entry in all discs & parties, further lifting the sales.
Bombay Vikings next album, Hawa Mein Udati Jaaye," was released recently at a swanky Mumbai nightclub on September 12. Neeraj Shridhar gave a small performance on the occasion, and those present couldn’t help but groove to his dance numbers. Neeraj, along with Shivaji Gupta, vice president A&R/Commercial, Universal Music India, spoke about his new album and gave a preview of the video and the tracks. He spoke about his musical influences and how he misses India since he lives in Sweden. Though more comfortable with Swedish than English or Hindi, he spoke extensively in Hindi, explaining that he rarely got the chance to speak in Hindi otherwise. He also sang a special ghazal that his dad had composed for him.
The album has nine new heartbreaking numbers. Two videos, Hawa Mein Udati Jaaye followed by Tera Mera Pyaar Sanam, have already been released and have gotten mind-blowing responses from all over the world.
Neeraj Shridhar is an Indian singer-songwriter who was the lead vocalist of pop and rock group Bombay Vikings. He is a popular Bollywood playback singer, music director, and lyricist. Bombay Vikings became popular with remix hits like “Kya Soorat Hai,” "Woh Chali," and "Chod Do Anchal."
Neeraj started working as a Bollywood playback singer in 2006 with the song "Tumko Dekha" for the film God Tussi Great Ho starring Salman Khan and Priyanka Chopra, although this film got released later. In the year 2006, his songs "Halke Halke" in Honeymoon Travels Pvt. Ltd. and "Bhagam Bhaag" from Bhagam Bhaag were huge hits, which opened all the doors for him to be successful in Bollywood as well.
The video of the song "Bhagam Bhaag" was the most expensive Bollywood video produced.
After this, Neeraj Shridhar tasted a huge amount of continuous success in Bollywood. Right from the beginning of 2007, he delivered hits like "Ticket To Hollywood" (Jhoom Barabar Jhoom), "Heyy Babyy" (Heyy Babyy), "Ishq Subhanallah" (Mere Baap Pehle Aap), "Ishq Ka Kalma" (Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal), and the biggest of them all, "Bhool Bhulaiyaa" (Bhool Bhulaiyaa), commonly known as "Hare Raam Hare Raam." This Akshay Kumar star song was the biggest hit of the year and was nominated for the Filmfare Awards with the songs "Ticket To Hollywood" and "Heyy Baby." Neeraj also co-wrote the song "Bhool Bhulaiya" with Sameer.
Success continued when Neeraj gave hit after hit. Soon he gained the experience of working with almost all the main Bollywood music directors. Till date, he has worked with Sajid-Wajid, Salim-Sulaiman, Pritam, Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, Vishal-Shekhar, Nadeem-Shravan, Anu Malik, Sandesh Shandilya, Aashish Pandit, and many more. He has mostly worked with Pritam. Although he has never worked with Salim-Sulaiman on a Bollywood song, he worked with them for the song of the famous television reality show Khatron Ke Khiladi, the Indian version of Fear Factor.
