Last night of 2009 is here and slipping in to the last sunrise of the year.
365 days of the year treats each and everyone differently right? Happiness and Sadness and some confused times when you can’t figure out what exactly you feel 
For me 2009 has been an year of realization. A crucial year that has made me understand some of my close friends and relatives – pleasant surprises and some nightmares. An year taught me a lot of things about life. Say it was a turning point. More International projects, more demo tracks, more people got to listen my songs, association with Tune4, meeting new artists, working with new musicians, few days in chennai learning from a film music composer etc etc etc…
Musically, my first online release happened in 2009 April 21st. ‘Show me love’ released in 6 online stores worldwide giving me enough responses from a global crowd saying “keep doing songs like this!”. That’s when the facebook fanpage was started in April 2009 with 10 fans 
. Thanks to everyone who has helped me brand myself on Facebook. It’s now 1500+ and growing (without paying any PR agencies or Advertising companies )
Other than these, the year was fully occupied by the business and design works. I haven’t been busy as a musician in 2009. But when the curtains come down, I’m happy with the way my music career is shaping up for tomorrow. I have told a week back, 2010 is going to be very musical. In fact it is already musical at my end. Thanks to Tony Joseph of Tune4 for an amazing groundwork to help me get hold of some well known artists in India & UK.
For those who like surprises, come back to this blog soon or join me on facebook for updates
2010 has a bunch of musical updates starting from March 2010 or may be little earlier. Follow me closely on Twitter or Facebook
Wishing everyone happy and prosperous year ahead
Cheers,
Ifthikar Ali
