Episode 32 of the Girls In Movement Podcast.... This has to be one of my favourite podcasts recorded, such an exciting story of how our 2 guests careers have developed as well as their exciting new project called Turbans & Tales. Amit Amin & Naroop Jhoti came together over 10 years ago to work on a project with an unsigned musician, they straight away knew that they wanted to work at photographers & directors. Fast forward to today, and they have hustled their way to the top - working with the likes of Tinie Tempah, 50 Cent, & Jay Sean to name a few. They fell into the Singh Project, after recognising the popularity of ‘the beard’ across London. They noticed younger guys were fashioning a beard, when actually Singh’s have been doing this for hundreds of years. They had their first exhibition for the Singh Project in London which then expanded to New York and grew extremely popular from then. They suddenly had press coverage, investors & PR interested to take the project to the next level. Turbans and Tales was then launched and was recently featured in The Times. “The turban has always played a huge role in the identity of India, worn at one time by all the major faiths of the nation. It was a symbol of status and respect.  Now mainly associated with the Sikh identity, our book, Turban and Tales, is built around our hugely successful Sikh Project, a collection of portraits of British and American Sikhs.  This podcast looks at their early days, some amazing success stories in the music industry & each of their favourite projects. We then discuss their new project and of course advise to our listeners!
