Q1. How did your Musical journey start? Or Who/What inspired you?

Well, as far as I remember, I started to have an interest in music from a very very small age. I don't know exactly what my age was when i actually started to sing. I think it would be rightful to say that I was born with it as both my parents are Singers and Musicians and my mom was a full time Performing Artist and a Music Teacher that time. I vaguely remember that there was a Tabla in my home and I would always try to play something on it and pretend as if I am someone like Tabla Master (Ustad). Henceforth I gradually started to hum songs of the Bollywood Legendary singers etc. All these things caught the attention of my parents and they finally started giving me vocal lessons from the very beginner level. This is how this journey started.

Q2. Kindly share some information about your Music here.

I am currently working on creating my own songs, trying to understand music from a deeper perspective and my aim is to bring hope in the lives of people through my songs.

Besides this I am also making my versions of some of the great songs from bollywood which will be out soon.

Q3. What kind of challenges did you face while starting/during your Musical journey?

Facing challenges are an inevitable part of every art form and with me it wasn't any different. Although to be very honest I never had to face the basic challenges of music in my life as I was gifted with it. I was good on all the basic aspects and naturally I had a very good grasping power. 

However the real challenges came in the mid-way. When I was around 14 years old, I realised that I need to change my style of singing. I used to suffer from throat problems quite frequently and I feared that my voice would lose its tone. I knew deep inside that by proper method of riyaz (practice) and training along with the right amount of voice rest, this problem could be solved. But I couldn't depend on my parents because they themselves wanted me to learn from a great gurus in this field who would teach me the proper system in a more advanced way.

Finally in the year 2014, I started taking lessons in the field of Indian Classical Vocal Music and with proper taalim, riyaz and rest I could save my voice quality and it actually enhanced my singing quite remarkably.

Q4. Do share with our readers about your discovery period when you were facing difficulties in your Music career?

As I mentioned earlier, the discovery of my real voice came when I first understood that I need to change my style of singing. I started experimenting and found that my voice has a natural tendency to sing Indian Classical since the tonal quality suited that very much. Although I condition myself to adapt to different genres of music but I always try to preserve the natural characteristics of my voice. I started doing riyaz for at least 4 hours a day on a regular basis based on the guidelines given by my Guru and also my parents.

Q5. Share with our readers about your experiment period after the discovery period?

The experimental period is still going on with voice as I have discovered just one aspect of it. In order to preserve that aspect I am doing my riyaz and studies in Indian classical music. However with this experimentation I might find new potentials of my voice. I spend my time playing with my voice by recording it in my system. I have a Music Production system where I learn to make my own music and with the help of a good condenser mic to study my voice, try to sing different genres of songs and see how my voice responds to that. In the near future you might find a NEW ME. Lets hope for the best.

Q6. What are your future plans? Or now what is your vision for next five years?

My plans are to produce my own songs and release it though my own youtube channels. I am working on creating some interesting melodies and I am sure that with your love and blessings my music can achieve great success in the near future.

Q7. How would you advice/suggest new Music lovers who want to start & sustain in their musical journey?

Well, this would be my suggestion to all music lovers out there: 

• Find the right tutor for yourself in the field of music you want to learn. 
• Practice it with full potential by cutting off yourself from the worldly matters because music is for self-realization and once you are able to perform it spontaneously, you actually realise what real happiness is all about and when you are happy, your music creates that aura to the listeners and it will definitely win everybody's hearts.

Q8. Are you an Independent Pop Artist who does original music or an Artist who does cover songs ?

I am in the process of becoming an Independent Singer and Musician since I do have a lot of my original works and they are in the process of getting released very soon.

Q9. If you are an Artist who does original music then how and where do you see your songs getting released ?

Right now I plan on releasing my songs through my own Youtube channel. So work is in progress now. In future, if any production house wants to have my songs in their channel I would surely love to work with them.
