This album, presented under the M3 MUSIC banner, has been well received by people in Dubai, produced by Mathew Fernandes (also known as Mr. Matt), based in the Emirates. As he puts it: "I've shifted from the normal trend and did it as a some-what mix of pop, country, sentimental,....."  

Frankly speaking, he continues, "To tell u the fact I've never gone much deeply into music, even though I played in a band here in Dubai, sang for local dramas, and also played in bands in Goa too, but didn't get very far.  I thought something was amiss and hence took up the challenge to work out on my own on an introductory album.  I am pleased with the results."

On the social circuit in Dubai, Mr. Matt does compering for weddings, and parties, and is a very unassuming person, until he is on stage!

The main purpose of doing this album was to try and change the normal trend which is going on. As Mr. Matt puts it: "My melodies are original, and not copied. My album is POP, and not based on the tiatrist version. It is a solo album as he beleives in himself... No guest artistes and singers were brought in his album!

Well he did his best in the short time available on the sales side in Dubai, before it was to put Konkani 2000 audio cassette out on the international market.

On his future endeavours, he is hopeful: "I may be signing a deal for that with a record label. They liked my songs".
