You were born and raised in Kuwait and later moved to India. Tell us something about your growing-up years.
Well, I grew up with music-loving parents and an older sister. Music was something that we were always connected through. Maybe because I was born outside India, the music that I was exposed to was a good amalgam of genres from traditional Arabic music to western pop music on the radio; our home had a mix of old western retro music clubbed with old Bollywood. From Kuwait, I moved to Abu Dhabi with my family to complete my schooling and then to Bangalore to do my degree in Media, Literature and Psychology.
From Bangalore, I guess you moved to Chennai.
Moving to Chennai was a last-minute decision. Initially, I thought I would get into film-making, and do music on the side. It was only after I finished my degree that I realized that I wanted to take up music professionally. So I floated the idea with my parents that I wanted to do Music Production, purely because it sounded like it made more money. They were very supportive and so I enrolled in the KM Music Conservatory in Chennai as a vocal major.
