UK Social Entrepreneur Abhaey Singh ‘Talks It Out’ With New Viral Rap Video Sensation

• 30th Jan 2013

Dynamic British-born, India-based social entrepreneur, debater and music composer Abhaey Singh has become an overnight YouTube sensation with his new viral rap video titled ‘Talk It Out – Debaters’ Rhapsody’. The new track delivers the poignant message that civilised debate is an essential component of any democracy, at a time when a small number of parliamentarians in Abhaey’s country of residence, India, often visibly disrespect the sanctity of their most sacred institutions.

We can’t help but feel that this might not have gone viral if it hadn’t been so incredibly dry and accompanied by what can only be described as a Mark Corrigan-boredom-level video.

Abhaey has received hundreds of comments from all over the world, complimenting him on the video and message contained within it, and said in a statement:

“I am honoured and grateful to have received this level of support. It gives me confidence that we are on the right path, and I am buoyed to do much more. I have always believed that entertainment is a powerful medium through which one can sensitise large numbers of people, and that this power must be used responsibly – especially during difficult times such as those we are facing in India and for that matter throughout the world. ‘Talk It Out’ is just our first baby step in this industry and with our socially-focussed entertainment model, and I am now focussed on scaling up this endeavour.“
