One of the best campaign tools for an up and coming artist is a brief, well edited bio that contains interesting tidbits about the artist. It can accompany everywhere, like the solo show booking info, album preview on internet sites, on imeem, and such.
Why don't we help Anoop by preparing a bio for him? He may want to use it as is, or use it as a draft for something he can further edit.
I've written a bio for Andy Skib and he used it many times when he was booking his solo shows.
Let's collect some bio-worthy pieces of info about him here. It doesn't have to be a complete sentence. We will edit the facts in to sentences when we are ready to put them all together.
I'll start.
He was born on December 20, 1986 in Cary, NC. His shoe size is 10.5.

He's a smokin' hot Southern gentleman scholar with silky smooth platinum vocal chords that produce intoxicating tones that have been known to cause females to melt. He gains multitudes of fans with his intelligent conversations and brain-teasing comments. He has managed without any effort at all to be both innocent and sexy. He has blended gyrations and smooth moves to successfully produce the "UNF effect" on a daily basis. How's that......... a little too much?

It's more like Anoop trivia rather than a bio. The one on wikipedia sounds nice.
Anoop auditioned in Kansas City, MO with the number 74002. He is 6'1. Anoop's hobbies include doing crosswords, appreciating food, and jogging. His parent's are named Nalini and Manoj Desai.
His fans when through a whirlwind of a ride on idol. Through it's ups and downs, I'm surprised we can still stand.

How about some quotes?
Simon called him Original, talented, likeable, and popular. (wild card) Fellow idol contestants voted him as most intelligent (Larry King show) Randy Travis (sp?) called him "amazing" (You are always on my mind show)

His favorite soft drink is sweet tea. He enjoyed Molson when he went to Canada. He loves Food Network. (source noop-dogg or anoopdog?) - Anoop was approached by PETA for their campaign in India - It was reported that Anoop has a better DBI index than most season 8 idols What was DBI index? I remember it had something to do with the marketability or something???

Check out May 4 post on noop-dogg.com by snickers1015 - "... Davie Brown Index (DBI) has ranked Anoop in a VERY close second, among the rest of the finalists this season..."
It goes on to say that " The Davie Brown Index (DBI) is an independent index for brand marketers and agencies that determines a celebrity’s ability to influence brand affinity and consumer purchase intent… [It] consists of a 1.5 million-member consumer research panel which evaluates a celebrity’s awareness, appeal and relevance to a brand’s image and their influence on consumer buying behavior. The DBI is indexed with more than 1,500 celebrities presented to randomly selected respondents four times per year..."

He is the first and only ( (fact check?) idol to get a solo gig to sing at NC State Fair. I don't think that's the case as Kellie Pickler is also performing at NC State Fair this year. And I know there were quite a few Idol Alum that are from NC...not sure if anyone else has performed there though.

sorry... I mean AI season 8 contestants.
This is not limited to NC State Fair. Any solo concert gig for any AI 8 contestant. Thinking out loud, it does not matter if he is first or the only one. Anoop would not want us to compare or compete with anyone else. They are friends and we should not try to divide them. We wish everyone well. Of course, our focus is Anoop and desire is for Anoop to succeed.
