Botown

The concerts were a huge success and soon the band were regularly selling out venues such as Rich Mix, The Drum and the Broadway Barking.

In the Autumn of 2010 Botown released their debut single: Roop Tera, which was a Ray Charles inspired reworking of a Bollywood classic from the 1969 film Aradhana.

The critically acclaimed debut album the Soul of Bollywood was released in Winter 2010 and climbed the Amazon Funk Charts going top 10.

Songs from Botown's debut album 'The Soul of Bollywood' have featured a number of times on the UK's leading soap opera EastEnders on BBC1.
