Airport Biography and interview with images whatsapp mobile Contact number and Address info

Arijit Datta had been writing heart-touching melodies for years. On another stage, Vinay Lobo was strumming every genre he could think of from blues, funk, reggae, rock, jazz and R&B. They wondered what would happen if Arijit’s old world Hindi jazz were to meet Vinay’s crunchy blues.

They dialed a number that rang in a Bandra flat. Amit Ahuja (known to friends only as AmZ) answered and when Arijit asked if he’d like to bring his bass along for a trip, the band had found its bassist.

Zohran Miranda was an Oman-based musician with bands like Klarity and Human Touch. When he quit his job to pursue his music dreams in Mumbai, it seemed natural for him to hop on board, with his guitar.

Together, they form Airport, making you want to stop and ride with their music as they fly you through a myriad of emotions. Airport’s songs are primarily in Hindi with the characteristic Arijit flavour of Urdu infusions. They touch you, uplift you, rock you, get you to tap your feet, make you smile and reflect about things that were or may be.

Airport had a successful launch in December 2009 at Del Italia, Mumbai. They played to a packed house of 250 + people. Since then, the band has played at several youth festivals and hang-outs, corporate events and live music venues across India. Airport recently played in the prestigious NH7 Festival in Pune, December 2010.

Airport consists of Arijit Datta on vocals and guitar, Vinay Lobo on lead guitar, Amit Ahuja on bass, Zohran Miranda on rhythm guitar and Ashwin Andrews on drums.
