Showcasing the many facets of TALENT... in all of it's many dastardly guises!

"Kerpowww!"

DICTIONARY DEFINITION:

I SAY:

"Leave the definitions for the dictionary...!"
(tHe tAlEnT mAsTeR oF cErOmOniEs… aka ’tHeeditorial VeSsEl’) It’s my job to find talents, to talk to talents and to act as an insignificant vessel through which the talent is showcased. Having been surrounded by a wide array of talents throughout both my life and career, I appreciate the alternative paths, and the often complex sentiments of talent. I also advocate immense respect for talent in all of it’s guises. I also like saying the word ‘talent’ many times when writing random blurbs. I recall the many times I have been considered by another as ‘talent’ and how this made me feel. I now aim to make others feel that same way daily…  Feel free to exchange url links, contact details, blurbs and musings here or via the wonders of email: vin.sharma@guinnessworldrecords.com

Sharjah Pics PART 1

[Flash 10 is required to watch video]

Impromptu jam between the talented Fusion band ‘Swarathma’ and some musicians who were playing in the restaurant we were having dinner in… magical moment! The tabla player in the background is in a ‘musical zone’ - fantastic! 

Bangalore Boogying… an amazing trip to India! 

David Calvo

(Rubik talent)

Not only does lauded Rubik’s Cube master David Calvo juggle two cubes in this vid, but he actually solves a third cube in his spare hand at the same time — all in less than a minute. Watching this just makes me feel worse about the incomplete Rubik cube that is sitting on my kitchen dining table, and has boggled my mind for weeks! One day i will complete it, whilst David Calvo carries on his endeavors underwater, juggling and blindfolded!

Kings of the City

Look out for Kings of the City… another supporting act at the incredible Maverick Sabre gig last night at O2 Academy, Oxford. Quite clearly an amazing band of very talented musicians mixed with indie / rock vocals and an overt dose of Grime / Hip Hop influence mish-mashed amongst the clearly eclectic wider musicality of the band members. Diverse both culturally and through influence, it’s an exciting sound that a bit more live experience and simmering will prove their major label signing potentials… i can feel it in my bones!

Delilah

(vocal talent)

Amazing seeing her live at O2 Academy in Oxford, supporting the mighty Maverick Sabre. Look out for Delilah- destined for big things in 2011 / 2012.

The above video was recorded live and sounds hypnotic, and when standing a few feet away from her during the rendition yesterday- I was serious putty in her hands!

Chaka Khan’s ‘Ain’t nobody’ is a timeless track that not many should even attempt to refix, but this version is truly amazing! Delilah came to focus through her collaboration with the giants of ‘dance’ Chase and Status. Since she is now signed to Atlantic Records.

Maverick Sabre

(vocal talent)

My favorite single of 2011… ‘I need’ releasing in November (acoustically performed above at Bestival) and Maverick Sabre - the artist rightfully listed as part of the top 10 most important music artists on Planet Earth right now by Q magazine.

Chuck D

When Chuck D of Public Enemy speaks… people listen! 

“In the United States mainstream Hip Hop artists have been co-opted by corporations… and so they speak to a fantasy world! In other worldwide territories it’s more important than that.”
