Vikas Kohli Produces 3 Artists Nominated at the Toronto Independent Music Awards

Composer & music producer Vikas Kohli is having another great month with three artists he’s produced nominated in three different categories at this years Toronto Independent Music Awards (TIMA).  This is on the heels of two films he’s composed for winning awards at the 43rd Houston International Film Festival and to celebrate, FatLabs is offering free downloads of songs from these artists.
 
"It’s amazing that such different artists I’ve worked with are all being recognized at an awards show like the TIMAs," says composer and music producer Vikas Kohli of FatLabs.   He adds, "It says something about Toronto and Canada when these artists not only represent three distinct musical genres, but represent cultures from around the world.  What can I say?  Immigrants and Goths kick-ass!"

Man The Destroyer is nominated in the  Best Metal category.  Originally from LA, the band relocated to Toronto and consists of PJ who hails from Persia, Mick from Australia, Don from Mexico, Oleg from the Ukraine, and Matt from Scotland.  The band recorded their debut self-titled album with Vikas Kohli at FatLabs and is currently touring in support of the album.

The Scarlet Fever is a glam rock band nominated in the Best Indie Rock category.  With a sound  reminiscent of Roxy Music and David Bowie and a stage show reminiscent of Iggy Pop, the band  (Jay, Rob, Tyler, Brad and Chris) has recorded three CDs with Vikas Kohli at FatLabs.  Earlier this month, the band played the NXNE (North by Northeast) music festival.

Prita Chhabra is a South-Asian singer nominated in the Best Female-Fronted category.  She has opened up for #1 Billboard artist Jay Sean at the Hershey Centre in Toronto,  sung the national anthem at Parliament Hill for key Canadian dignitaries and recently collaborated on a remix of Kohli’s Hindi pop song "Dil Yeh", which can be downloaded for free along with tracks by Man The Destroyer and The Scarlet Fever at FatLabs.com/download.
