Super six with Sophie Choudry

-

Multi-tasking is her middle name as Sophie Choudry has tried it all. Actress, singer, an occasional model, television presenter and a former VJ — seems this 33-year-old British-born knows the balancing act well.

What’s on your iPod right now?

The Bang Bang title track, the song Lay Me Down by Sam Smith and John Legend and the lead single Uptown Funk by artistes Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars from the album Uptown Special.

Name your following favourites:

Performer: Lopez and Jennifer Beyoncé Knowles

Singer: Beyoncé, Ashaji (Bhonsle), Sonu Nigam

Composer: Pritam, R.D. Burman, A.R. Rahman Tune-in playlist when: Low or down: Beyoncé or Justin Timberlake because they turn my mood around!

Lonely: Adele, as her voice makes you feel like you are not alone. Plus, the song Abhi Mujh Mein from Agneepath is a class apart. Also Chandani Raatein by the original melody queen Madam Noor Jahan.

Happy: Happy by Pharrel Williams of course, as the song name itself suggests!

Romantic: John Legend, Sam Smith Favourite genres: RnB, Hip Hop, Arabic and of course, Bollywood Favourite instrument: Piano, because I learnt it till fifth grade! Upcoming stage shows: I travel all over the world performing for shows, but they are mostly corporate or privately sponsored events!

I recently performed at Saazz in Mumbai with Roop Kumar Rathod and Parthiv Gohil and it was a wonderfull­y different experience to sing to a seated audience that loves music like that.

I’m known as a livewire performer.
