India's diverse culture is reflected in Bollywood, its exuberant film industry that has embraced talent from across the country and all communities. Of late, many singers from the Christian community have lent their voices to soundtracks for Hindi and other desi cinema. We take a look:
Dominique Cerejo
Dominique Cerejo became popular with her song Yeh Tumhari Meri Baatein from Rock On.
She started singing at the very early age of seven. She participated in a church singing competition and won, and that spurred her on to take singing lessons to polish her voice.
Shankar Mahadevan, with whom she was acquainted, gave her a chance to sing in Dus, the first film he worked on. She was also part of the chorus in the title track of Taare Zameen Par. But things really changed for her after Rock On's Yeh Tumhaari Meri Baatein.
Some of the songs to her credit are: Sooraj Ki Baahon Mein from Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, Dhoom Again from Dhoom 2, Aashayein Aashayein from Iqbal, I Just Wanna Spend My Life With You and I Am In Luv from Neal N Nikki, Yeh Kaisa Hai Shaher from Paanch, Baamulaaiza from De Dana Dan, Pyaar Impossible title track, and I Am In Love from Once Upon a Time In Mumbaai.
