Bobby Cash

Bobby is India's only country music artist - he is literally one in a billion.

He grew up in NE India in the foothills of the Himalayas. Born Bal Kishore Das Loiwal, his father used to call him "Babu" which became bobby - and Kishore became "Kish", which in turn became "Cash". His mother loved Country music and Bobby learnt to play by ear from the records his Aunt sent from Nashville in the 60's. He left school and became a music teacher and eventually he and his family set up a school and hostel for underprivileged children in his hometown of Clement Town. In the mid 90's Bobby moved to New Delhi to pursue a career as a professional solo musician and help support the school.

After briefly dabbling in "Hindi pop" he returned to his first true love - Country Music. In New Delhi whenever any Australian heard him they would tell him that he had to go to the Tamworth Country Music Festival. It was to be the start of a dream. This dream became a reality in Jan 2003 when Bobby finally got to go to Tamworth, Australia. He became a sensation. At the festival he caught the eye of a wealthy benefactor who's Aunt had been a missionary in India in the '30's and 40's. While knowing nothing about Bobby, he offered to help bobby record a CD - in the hope that some of the profits would go to help underprivileged children in India. It turned out to be a match made in Heaven. This is that CD. "Bobby Cash" "Cowboy at Heart"
