IANS - Hindi film jagat singing sensation Kay Kay, who has just turned composer with the album Humsafar, says he has had no formal training in music.

He says as a child his parents had once sent him to a music class.

"I went there only for three days. I hated it because for me music had no boundaries and I couldn't understand why one needed to learn singing. So I left, and I never went back," Kay Kay told IANS after performing at a college function here.

He said his lack of training helped him perform naturally. He believes music should be pleasant to the ear. And that is his mantra for singing as well as for composing songs.

Los Angeles - How do you sing “bop to the top” in Hindi? If you are the Walt Disney Company, very carefully.

A song from “High School Musical 2” called “All for One,” has been rendered in Hindi as “Aaja Nachle.”

The media conglomerate is trying to expand the global reach of “High School Musical” to squeeze even more money from the franchise. The new efforts — which include a long-term London stage production, a touring stage show in Asia and music videos in 17 languages — are also intended to start prepping foreign markets for the musical’s high-stakes transition to the big screen.

“High School Musical 3: Senior Year” is scheduled for release in North American theaters in October, with a global premiere to follow soon after. “These are all building blocks,” said Anne Sweeney, the president of the Disney-ABC Television Group. “Every new piece of this franchise opens a new door.”

She added, “Plans are already in place for years to come.”

IANS - Young composer Mithoon Sharma, son of Bollywood composer Naresh Sharma, is riding a new high. He has just composed the entire score for a Malaysian film called Diva.

"It's a film produced by a Malaysian satellite company. I've recorded five songs in the Malaysian language and the entire background score," said Mithoon.

Mithoon didn't understand the language Bahasa Malay and said that it wasn't easy.

"I can't say it was easy. A year back, producers were hunting for an Indian composer. I was quite new at that time. Fortunately, they weren't looking for a big name. They agreed to hear my music and liked my compositions. I was in Kuala Lumpur working with Ning Baizura. She has sung all the tracks."
