 Joshua Queah of 'Casino Blues' in the final of International Contest.
A popular rock singer from Assam has reached the grand finale of an international talent hunt organised by an Australian music company.
Joshua Queah is one of the four contestants in Soloist Category who has made it to the finals of the programme from South Asia to be held at New York and Los Angeles next month.
There are three categories in the contest--Bands, Soloists and Songwriters--with one finalist from each category selected from each region-- South East Asia, South Asia and North East Asia, a press release of the music company SUTASI said.
The 25-year-old singer, whose band 'Casino Blues' had won the coveted All India DSP Black Rock-i-lution Contest in Mumbai recently, is a familiar name among western music buffs in north-east.
His band had earlier won several regional and national competitions like IIT Rock Contests, North East Rock Festival, Campus Rock Idol and Independence Rock.
"I am specially intrigued by the original tribal music of the region which replicates the pristine sounds and moods of nature as evident in the monsoon rain, the wind and the waterfall," he said.
