Ricky Kej, who has earlier composed for Kannada films, is sure going places with his Shanti Orchestra, which has been nominated for a HMMA (Hollywood Music in Media Award) for best New Age Song. Kej will be heading to the USA next month where the awards ceremony will take place at the Fonda Theater, in California. The musician’s entry into the American market has been momentous — he’s been named the World Peace Ambassador by Project Peace on Earth.
For now, Kej is excited to be sharing the stage with fellow nominees such as Steven Price, who composed music for Gravity, and Michael Giaccino who worked on Star Trek into Darkness, to name a few. This is a heady orchestra indeed!
