Background vocalists Dominique and Clinton Cerejo have scaled up the music ladder, earning lead credits on the biggest Bollywood soundtracks this year

THEY'VE been reshaping the sound of Bollywood with their gospel-trained vocals for a decade now. Lagaan, Aks, Dil Chahta Hai, Main Hoon Na, Hum Tum Clinton and his wife Dominique Cerejo have been credited for some of the most successful soundtracks of the last decade.

When we meet the singer-producer couple at their Bandra home, Clinton has just finished work on the soundtrack of Ishqiya and is onto Karthik Calling Karthik and Dominique is basking in all the praise she'd received for the title track of Pyaar Impossible. Clinton too heaped up praise last year for his rendition of Kya Karoon from Wake Up Sid.

The couple tells us that the creative highs have just begun. As recently as last year, Clinton was thrilled to find his name printed on the CD right upfront as a music producer alongside composer Vishal Bhardwaj and lyricist Gulzar's credits for Kaminey. "All this is happening now. It's Vishal Bhardwaj's grace as a composer to acknowledge us as producers. It's only in India that music producers are called programmers.
