The track ‘Are We Gonna’ is an action-packed dance track to get you in the party groove. Laced with contemporary pop-dance elements and riveting vocals, it brings out the excitement and attraction that a person feels to someone they have just met for the first time and experiences an intense desire to make it a long-lasting connection. The track was penned, composed and performed by award winning singer-songwriter Anirban Jee. It was recorded and produced by Sydney’s sought after producer Tony Cvetkovski from Top Cat Music Productions.
For Anirban Jee, his musical awakening spawned at the vibrant age of 12, when he received his first electronic keyboard. Heavily influenced by a diverse range of musical genres through the 80’s and 90’s, Anirban found himself inspired by pop icons such as Elton John, Richard Marx, Maxwell, Sting, Carol King and many more. During his teen years, AJ dabbled in numerous tuition courses and, on the back of many years studying Piano/Keyboard through school and university, had honed his musical growth to original songwriting, musical compositions, artist collaborations and performing.
In his early years of songwriting, Anirban managed to catch the attention of Australian music industry heavy weight producer and ‘song doctor’ Matt O’Connor (Thirsty Merc, The Beautiful Girls) from the A&R Department, Sydney. Originally discovered from a rough demo, Matt O’Connor took Anirban under his wing to further develop and hone his craft.

The track got aired by numerous Radio Stations across Australia such as MaxFM (NSW), 2GN Radio (NSW), 3ZZZ FM (Melbourne), Roccy FM (NSW) and also enjoyed a good spin across various AMRAP community radio stations.

Several of his songs also ended up getting Top 10 placements in multiple categories at the awards.
