Brief
profile
One
of India’s
top music composers, directors and producers, Jawahar
Wattal is best known for being a pioneer in the
Indian pop scene and for shifting the focus of the industry to Delhi.
Music
has always been a passion with him and so he trained in classical and
instrumental western music as a teenager, learnt how to play the guitar and by
the age of 21 had already composed and sung for a number of advertisement
jingles and performed for leading professional recording outfits like EMI
India. The dream culminated in his setting up of Adcamp
India Pvt.Ltd., a 24-track digitalized Production
House and an accredited advertising agency when he was just 22. This
Production House was the first of its kind in the capital.
The
’90s ushered in the Indi-pop revolution and
that’s when he ventured into the genre that has won him maximum acclaim to
date. His uncanny ability to predict what will be popular with the masses
tomorrow, his professional attitude combined with his constant quest for
excellence, originality and perfection have spelt success for him. Firm in the
belief that music as a language has no barriers, he
is constantly experimenting and reinventing the idiom by never allowing
anything to limit the scope of his work and thus bringing a fresh new energy
to each project.
