Till last year Himesh Reshamiyya was an aspiring composer waiting in the wings where Anu Malik, Jatin-Lalit and later Shankar-Ehsan-Loy ruled the roost. Tere Naam in 2004 was a turning point. For a man who virtually came in from the cold, his career in 2005 has been rocking to the extent that Dharmesh Darshan and David Dhawan have switched to Reshammiya. Both the Darshan brothers, Suneel and Dharmesh were Nadeem Shravan loyalists, likewise, David Dhawan swore by Anu Malik.
"I'm not here to displace anyone. I'd be happy just doing my work. My time has been divided between composing for around 6-7 assignments and serving as a judge on the music contest Sa Re Ga Ma Pa," he says.
In 2005, some of Reshammiya chartbusters were 'Aashiq banaya apne' (title song), 'Just chill' (Maine Pyar Kyun Kiya), 'Aadat ho chuki' (Koi Aap Sa), 'Aane do' (Kuch Meetha Ho Jaye) to name a few. "I owe most of my compositions to Laxmikant-Pyarelal. They're my idols and role models. Unfortunately that's not the sound that today's average listener wants to hear. I realised that when 'Just chill' and 'Aashiq banaya' hit the charts," he says.
