About
So, I must have been around five years old when my Mom first got me a small keyboard and played me the "SA-RE-GA-MA". She never sang professionally but everyone always enjoyed her singing. Those seven notes got into my head so deep that I was playing that keyboard the entire day just to understand it more.
​
Growing up, I started to understand the technicalities of music, even though I never went for professional training. I had taken guitar classes for precisely two weeks after which my dad got posted to his next army station. But those two weeks gave me a glimpse of an instrument that would become my best friend for life. And so my journey of writing songs started.
​
My songwriting at that time was inspired by 90's Indian pop music (Shaan, K.K., Colonial Cousins, Lucky Ali, Silk Route) and old Bollywood songs (R.D. Burman, Mukesh, Kishore Kumar, Mohammed Rafi). There wasn't much of internet at that time and any song you liked, you had to get them recorded on cassettes from the market. And that made that songs even more memorable.
As time passed, the Indian pop music got back seated and seeing it happen, I formed a deeper connect with it. I started finding the thought behind each song I heard. I realized that song writing was more than just creating melody and words. It needed a meaningful story for it to connect with everyone. And once I got that thought into my head, I started finding meaning in every little thing around me.
​
I have always been an introvert kid from the starting. I rarely used to share my take on the world with people. But as time passed, those thoughts gave the words to my songs. My songs got greatly influenced by people around me and the experiences I shared with them.
​
I truly feel that lyrics are the soul of any song and the melody gives the words an aesthetic structure. For me, the song needs to be easy to understand so that the person listening can relate to it very quickly.
