It's true when they say - once a musician always a musician. This holds true for Shruti Haasan as well who's all set to debut on the international music scene. She is believed to have recently collaborated with a British alternative rock band called Dinosaur Pile-Up, to sing in and co-write with, for a brand new album together.
"Shruti has made a couple of visits to London and has been meeting and jamming with the English Alt Rock band Dinosaur Pile-Up with the band members - lead singer and guitarist Matt Bigland, drummer Mike Sheils and bassist Jim Cratchley. When she spent time with them, she enjoyed the vibe of their music and felt it was in line with her own musical inclination. More importantly, being someone who's always written her own songs right from when she had her former band - Shruti and the Extramentals, she has also co-written the lyrics for tracks that she's working on with Dinosaur Pile-Up," a source revealed.
"While she has a flourishing acting career, she wants to ensure she dedicates a sizable chunk of her time this year to her music. She's been working crazy schedules shooting for two south films, pre-production for her tri-lingual film with her father Kamal Haasan for Sabaash Naidu, her patch work for Bollywood flick Yaara directed by Tigmanshu Dhulia, her own production assignments under Isidro Media and of course her multiple brand endorsements and magazine cover shoots,” the source added.
After her recent Women's Day special association with Ehsaan and Loy (of Shankar Ehsaan and Loy fame), this is the next huge musical step for her. While Shruti was unavailable for comment, her spokesperson confirmed her collaboration with Dinosaur Pile-Up indicating that it's going to be an album to watch out for without delving into any more details.
