1. You have been practicing and have mastered the art of classical music for a while now and have been an acclaimed artist. You wrote your first song when you were a little child. How did you find your calling?
I think it would take me many lifetimes to master anything. I've been fortunate enough to have many great teachers who inspired a love of learning in me. I started learning music from my mother. My grandfather, Professor V Lakshminarayana was a Carnatic musician. I started learning Carnatic music as a child - singing, and then the violin. All of us - my siblings and I - learnt the violin. My parents were keen that we play the piano. So, we all had classical piano lessons. At some point, there were Western violin lessons. I was really interested in Western singing, so I had Western voice lessons.
I wrote my first song at the age of seven, which if I am to be honest was heavily “inspired” by Michael Jackson. That was my childhood! I was always very drawn to pop music. I was singing and playing throughout, and in my 20s I decided that I wanted to study pop music, so I did Berklee courses. Essentially, I learnt a lot of Carnatic music plus Western classical and contemporary music.
2. What were the hurdles initially? How did you overcome them?
