About Anoop Desai
Perfecting the harmony between Pop and R&B, Anoop Desai is best known for his time as a finalist on the eighth season of "American Idol." Having made a notable impact on the music industry, Desai is now taking his music to another level with the release of his debut album All is Fair. Motivated by the death of his friend Eve Carson, Anoop auditioned for the eighth season of the popular Fox TV show "American Idol." Anoop shattered tradition and made pop culture history when he became the first ever 13th finalist on "American Idol." Backed by a large fan base and favored to win by celebrities including Ellen DeGeneres and Keith Urban, Anoop left the show and went on to work on his music independently. After a 50-city tour, Anoop settled in Los Angeles to begin work on his album. The music blends Pop, R&B, and Indian influences to create an addictively original sound. Anoop had complete control over this EP; from writing to release, and the result is arguably one of the best Pop/R&B albums of 2010.
