Early Beginnings
Born in the Middle East, I was surrounded by music from a young age, always drawn to the melodies of Western music. The keyboard fascinated me, and I began singing lessons concurrently. Starting to sing and play the keys at the age of 6, I've accumulated over 20 years of experience in Western music.
Performance Journey
After years of participating in various choirs in school, rock bands in college, and a cappella groups, I honed my ability to sing across different genres. This led me to compete in various festivals with my original compositions. I've won accolades at numerous events hosted by institutions like Nitte Meenakshi Institute of Technology, BMSCE, SJCC, MVIT, and St. John's Medical College for Western Vocal Solo performances.
VTU Festival Triumph
A significant highlight was winning FIRST PLACE for WESTERN VOCAL SOLO AND ACAPELLA GROUP at the VISHVESHRAYA TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY (VTU) hosted ‘PRATHIBHOTSAVA’, the 21st VTU youth festival held at B.M.S College of Engineering in 2022. Here, I performed my originals and also composed and arranged the music for the a cappella performance. Over 100+ colleges from across Karnataka participated.
Acapella Arrangement Expertise
During the VTU festival, my original composition and arrangement for the acappella performance showcased my versatility and creative skills, contributing to our victory.
Judging Experience
During my final year at MS Ramaiah Institute of Technology, I began judging western vocals and group performances at numerous institutes. This includes VTU Youth Fest 2025, Jain University, Nitte Meenakshi Institute of Technology, Bangalore Medical College, St. Joseph's University, and RV College, among others.
I've had the privilege of judging the Western Vocal Group and Western Vocal Solo at the VTU Youth Festival, where over 100 colleges participate across Karnataka. I also judged at BMC’s Western Vocal Solo and SJU’s Western Vocal Solo competitions.
Professional Performances
With over 15 years of stage experience, I have performed extensively with various rock bands, a cappella groups, choirs, and collectives throughout my career, and continue to do so. A notable performance was with 'No Treble' for the IPL Finals Closing Ceremony 2024 at M.A. Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai.
