Some Lesser Known Facts About Ash King
Does Ash King smoke: Not Known
Does Ash King drink alcohol: Yes
Music runs in his blood, as both his grandfather and father were singers/musicians. His grandfather, Brajendra Lal Ganguly, was a close ally of Rabindranath Tagore, and the two often composed music at the latterâs residence- Santiniketan.
Though born and brought up in London, Ash is a singer of Bengali and Gujarati origin.
Interestingly, Ash has never undergone any formal training in music. In an interview, he revealed that while he was in London, he had never ever thought of becoming a singer. He added that before his tryst began with music, he did a number of odd jobs in the country. From working as a âwaiterâ in a burger restaurant to becoming a âsalesmanâ in a computer store, Ash has been through every possible struggle that one wouldnât fathom looking at him today.
In another interview, Ash said that he is indebted to A. R. Rahman, who gave him his first break in Bollywood. Rahman first invited him to his home in London for an audition. Impressed by his voice, the music director straightaway offered him a song.
Since his real name, Ashutosh Ganguly, wouldnât have fit in a single line on a CD cover, he decided to modify it. As a result, he shortened his first name and added âKingâ on the suggestion of a close friend.
Once, Ash and his friend remixed Lady Gaga âs song titled âJust Danceâ and uploaded it on a popular audio streaming site. The remix soon came into her managerâs notice, who informed the American singer about it. Gaga was so impressed by the remix that she decided to include it in her official CD.
Now a prominent singer in both India and the UK, Ash loves to perform live. He even performed at the âBBC London Melaâ, a music festival organized by the London-based news company.
He also made an appearance in MTV Indiaâs prestigious show- âMTV Unpluggedâ Â Series 2. In fact, the show had an entire episode dedicated to his hits.
Though he has a number of songs to his name, the track which he cherishes the most is âMeherban Huaâ from the movie Bang Bang! (2014).
