[KorektPhool] is my rapping/singing name. I am essentially a vocalist, but all the instruments you hear on this page are played by me (via MIDI). Most of the music is written and produced by me except of course for the occasional cover. My interests in music are diverse and my own music reflects this multi-faceted interest. On this website you will find music from many genres, including RNB, hip-hop, rock, pop, Indian pop, and Indian classical. Enjoy! and feel free to comment.
Why this name?
[KorektPhool] is a completely random name, although I may have previously said it signifies 'correcting the fools'. I use it on my album covers and may from time to time shout it out in my song when feeling especially 'gangsta'.
Do you play live?
I play live only Indian music, and never any of my own songs.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It's got some great stuff (for example, me). :-)
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
I'd love a record deal with a major label, but presently I treat music as a hobby only and prefer to concentrate on other aspects of my life.
Band History:
My musical life began when I was but five, learning Indian classical music. I have used this initial training as a foundation for all my music endeavours.
I originated my 'alter-ego' [KorektPhool] in 2002, when living in Hong Kong. Here did I compose my first (and fortunately unrecorded!) songs. In Australia in 2003, I recorded my first songs and came up with an album called '13% DEMOn' in 2004. In that same year appeared the second album 'This Ain't Me'. In 2005 appeared my most mature and respected album to date, 'The Rise'. Since then (I'm writing in 2006 now) I have not written much music due to other commitments and diversions, but hope to record more music soon and broaden my horizons.
Look out for any upcoming releases!

Anything else...?
Listen to the music.
