It is well-known that corporate events provide amazing opportunities for artists to perform in a variety of formats and for different-sized audiences. From brand launches to RnR events for employees and partners, corporates go all out in providing experiences that completely awe their audiences. ‘Make them feel like royalty’, ‘provide mind-blowing performances,’ etc are frequently part of the brief to event agencies. And of course, artists are an important part of that.

Here, three artists describe some of their experiences performing at these events:

1. Shashaa Tirupati

“I love doing corporate gigs because of the vast plethora of options we get in terms of content that is performed, which is usually not limited to any specific and single genre. Having done shows for Maggi, Rajnigandha, Reliance, IPL, Johnson's, Bacardi, and various multinational conglomerates, the professionalism of the corporate world also reflects in the arrangements made by them as hosts for events and entertainment. There is exemplary effort and involvement put into logistics including but not limited to stage, sound, lighting, and artist hospitality.”

“This was a beautifully designed event with lots of international artists. It was a dealer's meet and they called it partners. I loved the fact that they used the word partners for all their distributors. So I had to sing in a lot of languages to connect to them but it was just amazing. The next time when we perform abroad I will be collaborating with a lot of local musicians to give a different feel to the audience.”

3. Brijesh Shandiliya

Brijesh comes from reality shows such as SA RE GA MA PA and Indian Idol. As destiny would have it, he was one of top 12 contestants on SA RE GA MA PA and today he is one of the jury members of the show. He came a long way since then and has worked in a lot of projects creating a niche for himself as a singer and composer in the Indian music fraternity.

“This was my first big corporate show and there was a 35-piece symphony orchestra that I had to perform with. All the musicians were in their 50s and very experienced and this was my first time. I told them this and asked for their support. They were very cooperative and helpful. I was still nervous but once the show started, everybody joined in and the audience loved the performance. Everything went very smoothly and the show was a success.

“What's great about corporate shows is that every show has a different experience and crowd. You have to understand what the audience wants to listen to, what songs they might like and give the best in every genre of music you sing.”
