Ravi B is defending his decision to record a single used by a same sex couple who were married recently, after receiving backlash.
In a social media post today, Ravi B, born Ravi Bissambhar, said:
“I am an entertainer. I have performed from weddings to international music festivals, from memorials to Carnival stages, from christenings to corporate events. I’ve done this for all my life, in every corner of the globe, for fans and people from all facets of life.
It means that for most of the things I do with my talent, it is done for entertainment purposes. Just as with all professionals in their field of work, we do our jobs without favor. There is a matter around the unauthorized use of a special voiceover on one of my songs (what we call in the industry a “dubplate”) which was done for private use last year October and is being addressed with that client. As a society, we can accept that we don’t have to agree on the views of others on certain things. We should however, be respectful to each other regardless of those opposing views.
With love to all my supporters.
