M y Musical lineage started from my family my brother was a violinist and I have been learning Karnatic Music since childhood , I learned classical music for over 12 years from various gurus though I did not bother about doing a formal arangetram .
Western Music influence started when I was in the 6th standard
but at home , my parents expose me to all types of music from M . S . Subulakshmis classical Kritis to Boney M and Abba . All this led me to a special liking for western Music and slowly I started moving on to listen to Jazz . Once I got a little serious about it I started voice classes with Mr . Augustine Paul . In college one of my professors used to encourage me to move into Pro singing hearing me singing at some college cultures . When I was in the second year in college I started collaborating with friends and put out songs online these were mostly mashups of film songs which got me quite popular in that space and ultimately led to my playback singing career .
My first playback song happened for Kannada composer Guruprasad , we recorded this song
