Prageeth and Gajan win New Singer Award Prageeth and Gajan who performed as a duo band at the competition 'Asia The Next One 2004' won the New Excellent Singer Award for the Best Band. The competition organised by the Shanghai Asia Music Festival saw 21 finalists from seventeen countries vying for the Gold, Silver and Bronze awards. "Gosh! the experience was formidable and wonderful.
"We were asked to submit some originals to the record labels and we will be working on it. Our costumes were sponsored by Barefoot Gallery and I cannot pass by without thanking Thai Airways and Steven Pieris, Ms Renganathan, Yohan Rajapakse and Rukshan Lokuge and our parents for their support in giving us the opportunity to participate at this competition in Shanghai," says an extremely happy Prageeth. |

We learnt a lot, how to work on time and how important professionalism
on stage counts. The standard was high and the other competitors came in
with record label backings like from EMI, Sony, Warner Bros. I'm thankful
for Ranga Jagoda's presence with us as Manager and Producer. Our songs
were 'Nimeshayakin' and 'You've Been Warned' and the show went live on TV
handled by Shanghai Entertainments Advertising Broadcasting Station for
Channel V and MTV.
