THE TEENAGE WONDER – ADITYA
We are pleased to announce the debut album of Aditya Uddhav Thackeray titled ‘UMMEED’ on Times Music. All the songs in the album have been penned by the spirited lad Aditya.
Aditya Uddhav Thackeray belongs to a family which instantly spells politics and creativity. So it is not surprising that the 17 year old Aditya has penned all the 8 songs in the album. The music of ‘Ummeed’ has been composed by Mayuresh Pai.
The album features noted Indian singers like Suresh Wadkar, Devaki Pandit, Shankar Mahadevan, Kailash Kher, Sunidhi Chauhaan, Kunal Ganjawala, Mahalakshmi Iyer, Avdhoot Gupte, Vaishali Samant, Jolly Mukharjee, Chandrashekar Gadgil, Shilpa Rao, Sandeep Bankeshwar, Ashwin Srinivasan, and Swapnil Bandodkar. Interestingly Aditya’s younger brother Tejas has
also rendered his vocal contribution to the album.
The first music video of this album ‘EK KHOJ’ has been directed by Jagdish Mali. The video features Milind Gunaji as a harrowed professional who is in search of truth and meaning in the grind of life.
‘Ummeed’ primarily echoes the sensitive approach to the world surrounding this contemplative teenager. It portrays the sensitivity with which he takes on the world.
Aditya started writing poems initially at the tender age of 14 on his grandfather Shri Balasaheb Thackeray. It was Balasaheb who saw the sparkling talent and suggested that Aditya explore other topics which inspired him. Aditya’s effort finally borne fruit when his collection of English, Hindi and Marathi poems was published into a book titled ‘My Thoughts in Black and
White’. In the book he covers various topics like politics, British Raj, struggle of the proletariat, Spiritual mysticism and Prophecy. This essence of mysticism and prophecy has also been captured in ‘Ummeed’. A poem titled ‘Ek Parinda’ from the book was composed into a song and sung by Suresh Wadkar and Devaki Pandit at the Memorial Concert of Ustad Bismillah Khan as the opening number.
