An interaction with Nanni Singh, CEO, Showcase Events.

“Music is my passion, and we enjoy curating and executing music related events, thus you will always see more of music events and photographs. We do a lot of corporate events too. We have a rich cultural heritage in our country, the purity of which is getting diluted with all fusion versions coming through. Though we are not averse to fusions, in fact support them, as that is the only way music can and will be sustainable and have a wider reach. We are also in the process of curating more folk music properties. You will hear about them soon,” answers Nanni Singh the CEO of Showcase Events when inquired about the Gallery of www.showcase.in  that features musical events.

Kasauli Rhythm and Blues Festival is a flagship event of Genesis foundation  celebrated annually at Balikunth Resort, Kasauli, Himachal Pradesh.

“Kasauli Rhythm & Blues is now in its 8^th edition. It’s a tradition that we have set and every year we have been making it grow. I am fortunate enough to have been the one to set these standards along with fabulous team support, and now executing them as ShowCase events. Each year the festival has grown beautifully. We have been fortunate to get good artists who have all been supporting the festival. The biggest challenge, as for every event is sponsorships. Though the festival has had crests like fabulous artists performing for the festival Papon, Usha Uthup, Shilpa Rao, Rabbi Shergill, Jonita Gandhi, Sonam Kalra, Parikrama, Neeraj Arya’s Kabir Café, Suraj Jagan, Thermal & A Quarter, Advaita, Mrigya and many other really fantastic and talented musicians, it needs more partners and supporters and music lovers to join hands,” is how Ms. Singh responds to the crest and troughs KRBF has gone through.

About Showcase Events' existance, she says,” I was regularly processing small and big musical events and festivals, with a mission to raise funds. In this journey, I came in contact with a lot of amazing musicians and felt that independent and traditional music need a serious voice and representation. Showcase Events exist to become that voice and representation. I set out into my own events space in September 2018 with a creative and an equally passionate team . Currently, Showcase Events has a pan-India reach, with that we not only do musical events but also large and small corporate events with a lot of creativity, passion and a personal touch.”

About the most difficult encounter of Showcase Events , Nanni Singh says, “We have done multiple events of different types. Right from Corporate setups, off-sites, to musical events, to having curated our first property. Sounds from the Desert was premiered in Mumbai on Jan 25^th and being our first property was perhaps the most difficult or well challenging encounter of Showcase. The one and only biggest difficulty is sponsorship. We really wish more people would join hands and support the fantastic talent that we have in our country, which otherwise will get lost and be never discovered.”
