We’ve seen advertising legends like Prasoon Joshi and R. Balki contributing their great ideas to the industry of glamour and entertainment as lyricist and filmmaker respectively while being in the ad world. The two legends have done great as ad-men and also in Bollywood. Inspired by these legends we have one such name KeeganPinto, who will soon be seen as Music Composer and Lyricist. Keegan has composed music and is also the lyricist of two wonderful songs of upcoming Bollywood film Runningshaadi.com releasing on 17th February, 2017 starring Tapsee Pannu and Amit Sadh.
KeeganPinto the Creative Head of FCB ULKA (India-West) and National Creative Director- Branded content is a born Musician who started off in a wedding band in the era when such bands were called beat-groups. While he was just entering his adulthood and he had to be doing music the typical Christian boy went on to join a rock band where his payment once was just a whiskey bottle.
There are two facts about Keegan that makes him stand out from other musicians- One, he composes music without an instrument and second, Keegan is untrained and the first Christian Music Director & Lyricist with his roots from Goa, has the knack in Indian/Bollywood music with Hindi/Urdu words. Now that’s something interesting the Goa lad has! Well his influences range from Coldplay, to John Mayer, to R.D. Burman, to A.R. Rahman, to Kings of Leon, to Amit Trivedi.
