W for wizard? Well, it's more like W for Wattal, literally the boy next door who, with that uncanny feel for popular music, catapulted the unknown Daler Mehndi to stardom with the scores of Bolo Ta ra ra, Dardi Rab Rab and more recently, Balle Balle, three platinum discs in a row. Had teenagers, from Delhi to London, ecstatic over classical vocalist Shubha Mudgal's sufiana pop album Ali More Angana. Orchestrated pop singer Shweta Shetty's comeback with Deewane to Deewane Hain. Persuaded sitarist Shujaat Khan to sing for a folk-pop album Lajjo Lajjo. Remixed Manna Dey's soulful Ae Mere Pyaare Watan for a commemorative patriotic album. More recently, set the tune for Sonia Gandhi's campaign with remixed versions of popular Hindi film tunes set to Party lyrics. The composer Shetty swears by and Mudgal insists has an unerring ability to come up with what will touch the masses. That's Jawahar Wattal, producer and composer, the self-proclaimed poor man's Quincy Jones who, as he says, "single-handedly put Delhi on the Indipop map but never been given any credit for it".
