My First Ever Blog

Okkkhheeey!!

Ahem! Check Check.. 1 million, 2 million, 3 million :P (in Warren Buffet style)

Like..... ive seen many a personal blogs.. with all those really personal details... But somehow i dont find this comfortable enough to rant about personal stuff. But this could be my first ever (not-so) personal diary. i've never had one (not even a hard copy). i want to talk to the world when i get my music album out. Blogging, i find is the best way to talk to ppl who want to talk to you, or who think they should to you, or who think they just HAVE to talk to you, or who care a damn about who you are and need to tell you something about what ever you have typed on this page!

so WHO am i? yes, i and not I (these days I sounds too egoistic to me). i am a professional singer (singing for Tamil n Telugu movies; occasionally Malayalam movies). i sing (or try to ) in as many styles as possible. Versatility is important and diversification is the best shield to this risky profession :P

My training?? - 1 yr carnatic (in 1994), 6 months hindusthani (2000) and 6 months western (since 2007)! i've been in the music industry for barely 2 years, but ive been with music all my life, but ive taken it serious only in these last 2 yrs. no more buts.

All my talent is god given, and ive occasionally taken the pain to sharpen my talent. :P So thank you GOD! Before i became a singer i finished my bare minimum education (in today's times). iam an M.Com and MBA post grad. i've also worked for 2 yrs (Scope international, HDFC BANK etc). Music i s almost life to me since it pulled me out of a 16-18hr work schedule and landed me in studios around chennai singing for some of the best music directors - Manisarma, Vijay Anthony, GV Prakash, Vidyasagar, Yuvan, Karthik Raja and (omg recently) Ilayaraja Sir!

Right now im also working on a hindi/tamil music album and we are looking for sponsors - financial, album label, music video directors/producers, ppl who can handle the non-musical portions of an album... who ever you are, we'd be pleased, greatful, thankful, and most importantly - investable to them!!

Everything's been a dream...i've been living it....again thank you GOD... coz.. ive not approached ONE person! and thank you MOM n DAD.... though i dont express it to them, they are my lifeline. Wht i am now has a lot to do with wht they have done all thier life..... this feeling is not new to a lot of ppl .. BUT its every bit worth repeating.

Am slightly modest for my own liking (especially being this field, where self promotion is everything), and my modesty could be plain boring on a medium like this.... so ill try as much to shun that. :P right now my modesty meter is in red and ill pause here!!
