The winner of the first edition of TV reality show ‘Rising Star’, Bannet Dosanjh, seems to be nurturing his passion for singing amid the lockdown.

The singer has recently enrolled himself for an online music production course to learn about composing, arranging, programming and producing music for different genres.

I haven’t slept properly for the past two days as I was so much occupied with this music production tasks. I am not giving much time to exercise or workout, just doing some yoga and meditation to keep myself fit. I am taking this time as a productive break. — Bannet Dosanjh

He says that as work and other commitments have taken a backseat for the time being, he prefers to utilise this time and make it more productive, creative and result-oriented by practising and learning more about music. “I have so far written 15 cover songs, and now I am busy producing music for it. I will release one of the songs on the social media probably by the next week”, he said.

Bannet, who basically hails from Dosanjh Kalan village in Phagwara, says he is in Mohali at present. “I am staying alone and managing all my household chores myself. I am not following any set routine or schedule because most of my time goes to my e-classes and riyaz. I am also working on improving my breathing while singing,” he added.

“I haven’t slept properly for the last two days as I was so much occupied with this music production tasks. I am not giving much time to exercise or workout, just doing some yoga and meditation to keep myself fit,” said Dosanjh, adding that he is taking this time as a productive break. He said he is working upon his weaknesses and learning about every aspect of music.

Besides, he says he is enjoying his self-made cheat meals and making notes of his syllabus of vocal music in which he did his postgraduation long back. “We have to fight this pandemic together. We should take lockdown positively and make the best use this time by planning, making strategies and working upon our hidden energies to cope up things in a better way post lockdown,” he added.
