ON A SHIFTING STAGE

>From being a beloved on the local stage, Shayne Hyrapiet is fast
becoming a favourite for corporate shows in India and abroad. And he
sure is not complaining.
Last year saw Shayne going on a four-month-long whirlwind tour of
Switzerland, playing for tourists from all over the world. This year
too, SOTC (the company that signed him on last) is taking him on a
five-month tour of Switzerland. “I am quite excited about the upcoming
tour. I represented my country last year and my work was appreciated
by the people. I travelled to different cities and sang for people who
had only a faint idea about India and its culture. I hope this time
too I live up to my reputation of being a popular Indi-pop singer,”
says Shayne.
The singer from Chandni Chowk is also being kept busy by a string of
corporate and private shows. “The major shows that I did in the past
one year were for Hope Foundation and Jet Airways. In December I did
more than 20 shows in 30 days. I was travelling almost every day. It
was hectic but very satisfying,” smiles Shayne.
The young Armenian is also planning to produce a Christmas carol album
at the end of the year, to be circulated among schools, colleges,
churches and members of the Christian community.
