/> Aadesh Shrivastava is determined to go international in a big way.

Having tied with rapper Wyclef Jean for an album where Aadesh Shrivastav does several percussion and melody arrangements, Aadesh has provided symphonic embellishments to a track featuring Nora Jones.

"Nora recorded the song for Wyclef. I added symphony music to her tracks. Not just Nora, I'll also be contributing to a track by Shakira that Wyclef will record shortly. If only I get Lataji's consent to be part of the album, my dreams will all come true" informs Aadesh from New York.

That isn't all. Aadesh has been signed to do the score for a Hollywood movie to be produced by the makers of 300. "This would be in addition to the score for Uru Patel's Hanuman."

The Wyclef Jean album is expected to take Aadesh to a height that no composer from Mumbai has ever achieved.

Says Aadesh, "God has been very very kind to me. Though I must admit that my own industry has been rather unkind.

Apart from people like Amitji (I call myself his Hanuman) and Ravi Chopra, filmmakers in Bollywood have favoured composers who have made a career of copying others. I'm proud to have stuck to my original ganas. That's what got me the album with Wyclef Jean and the two Hollywood projects."
