Could you take us through your musical journey and the spark that hit you to get into music ?
Pop and Classical music rule my heart in parallel . I was brought up outside India and it ’ s common for parents outside to encourage their kids more towards Indian cultural activities . All the kids of my age were either doing music , dance or art . I was more smitten by Bollywood music as well . That brought me into Indian music . My dad is a singer ( although not by profession ) himself and I grew up attending his weekend shows . When I was 8 or 9 years of age , my dad made me sing the popular Kishore Kumar song , Mere Naina Saawan . I was too young to understand what stage fright was about . Since then , I was always performing Hindi songs with my Dad . Until my teens , I was not listening to classical music much . But one day , when my mom was watching Ranjani-Gayatri ’ s ( my gurus ) on TV , I vividly remember that I ran to the living room and was in awe with the concert . That concert was then uploaded on YouTube and I remember watching it over and over again , mesmerized by the music every time . Without me even realizing it , I was getting completely smitten by classical music , and there was no looking back .
