MUMBAI: International Indian Film Academy (IIFA)  will host a music workshop– ‘Music: Bringing Indian Cinema Alive’ on 9 June 2012 in the Lion City, Singapore.

Likewise, in another scenario presented by another director, a set of lyrics will be introduced first and then the tune will be created. The songs that come out of these situations will then be sung and performed by a set of renowned singers from the industry.

Indian singers who are expected to attend the event include Ash King, Hariharan, Harshdeep Kaur, Kamal Khan, Lesle Lewis, Mika, Mohit Chauhan, Shreya Ghoshal and Usha Uthup among others.
