When and how did you develop a love for music?

I was four years old when my father gifted me a Michael Jackson VHS tape called the Moonwalker. That movie sparked my entire soul to make this choice, to develop and make music a career choice and life decision.

Where did you get your professional training from?

I was trained in Abu Dhabi UAE in Carnatic music from the age of four to 18.

What were your early inspirations and aspirations? How did you get your first break?
