Few weeks ago Ranidu (Sri Lankan Leading R&B Singer) told me that I have to right some lyrics for his new Album. I think before that I should explain what a history between two of us. I knew Ranidu from my 5th Grade; we played in the same school band for Mrs. Anita Fernando. I should mention about Iraj, who is the number one Sri Lankan Hip Pop and R&B Producer. My self, Ranidu, Iraj we were little crazy about music. When we were in school we always wanted to form a band and perform. This was a dream, but I am so proud that Iraj and Ranidu made their dreams come true by releasing hit albums in Sri Lanka. In my case I just played Tabla in shows but never did any recordings except one time in SLBC.
During our A/L classes Ranidu started to work on his first Album, I can’t remember exactly if he had the idea of the album but regardless he started to work on this lyrics that he got from one of his mom's colleague. We spend days at his place putting a tune to that song. I helped him to put some Guitar parts to the tune but overall Ranidu produced entire track, which was an excellent track. The name of the track was Obamagemai. We played this track for the first time at My Kind of Place and I contributed from my wicked Tabla beats. It was a blast.
Coming back to my first song, Ranidu send me two tracks for me to write lyrics and one got recorded last weekend. I wrote the lyrics and send it to Ranidu. And Ranidu being the genius voiced it within two hours and send it back to me and I was speechless. I didn't have words to explain. It was awesome, my lyrics sounded perfect with Ranidu’s amazing voice. I called Anjana and let her listen and then I called Indi my friend from Rochester and let him listen over the phone. Then I called my parents and let them listen over the phone. They all like it, especially my mom, who has a very good knowledge of song writing gave me the green light. Now I am waiting Ranidu to voice the second song that I wrote.
