‘Hold you tight’ Hesh ready with his maiden video
Sri Lankan born Dubai based R&B artiste Hesh is now planning to release his highly anticipated debut English music video featuring Dubai based music producer/artist Jude Jakes. ‘I like to make music that makes people feel good’ he said when previewing new single ‘Hold you tight’ on few radio stations in Dubai and Colombo.
He added furthermore “I’m a very positive person myself, you’re going to love this music video, which I think is going to be stuck in everybody’s head for the entire summer, and hopefully much longer.” Hesh has worked with some amazing artistes/producers/ lyrics writers in the past – Iraj, Nathasha Perera, Krishan Maheson, Wasantha Dukgannaraala, Nilar N Cassim and he has released three Sinhalese music video’s which were topping the Sri Lankan music Charts, namely ‘Ate Panthiya’, ‘Sithuwili Hiripoda’ and ‘Mal Heena’.
Hesh explained that, for him it was a a total one week shooting experience outside Sri Lanka and specially he was lucky enough to get the assistance from New York Film Academy in Abu Dhabi. And also this is the first time he worked with a Russian Super model & a Dubai Based Music video director and the whole crew. He stated that, for his debut International album he will be working with few British Asian, Bollywood, Romanian artistes and not forgetting his co-producer/artiste Jude Jakes as well. He loves being in the studio and nowadays he kind of miss it because now starts the promo.
Hesh’s blend of eastern and western sounds have made him a entry point to the UK Asian music scene in 2010 and he got featured in UK no 1 British Asian website Desibox.com with his debut siingle ‘Girl’. The past 2 years have seen him perform few clubs events in Dubai, write, produce and collaborate with renowned international talent. The nature of his career is reflective of the new age we live in, harnessing the power of social media to build an army of fans who have supported him all the way.
Although Hesh says it’s important to “live with the times”, experimenting with new sounds and equipment was not a primary focus when it came to the production .
‘I think it’s important to live with the times, but at the same time, you have to understand that things can get out of fashion very quickly.
