How Music Came In My Life

I didn't take any training for music, but yes, books of course have played a great role. I don't have any musical family background. Whatever I know has been bestowed upon by the God Almighty. Music became a part of my life at the early age of seven when I started playing flute. As my interest got deeper, I mastered Synthesizer, Guitar, Saxophone, Mouth-Organ, Jazz drum etc... I started performing on stage when I was in eighth standard in my school & of course it was flute I took first on the stage with me.

I used to sing along with the songs by Rafi & Uditnarayan as they both are my ideals. This gave me enough and helped me have a good control on tough intricacies of Indian Classical Music. I started learning Indian classical vocal but I found that whatever the teacher would tell me, I already knew it and could get more from books and regular practice. So I left that and turned towards books. Here I would like to say that my practical teacher is SwarShala (thanks, Swar Systems Team!;-)


The classical bend of music was in my mind right from the childhood as right from the start I loved to practice tough songs of Lata Ji & Rafi Sahab on flute. Its SwarShala which brought the right practical form of Indian Classical to me.


I was many times awarded as the "Best Artist\Musician" during academic sessions & other competitions but the best I won 'GOLD MEDAL' for flute in a competition at Rajasthan level, where I faced many professionals. When I told the judges that I was untrained they were astonished and couldn't believe.


I am working on computer music for last one year. When I purchased my Yamaha keyboard, I got a little knowledge about track sequencing and I began experimenting with computer-based music and finally made my home studio. I now compose all alone without any help.


So What I am Doing Now ?

These days I am composing my first album which I have named, "Tumheen Se Pyaar Hai".
