Your journey in music started in school after which you started going places and also perform for the Mozart Choir of India. Tell us your best experience till date in performing for the choir.

My journey with professional music started with touring Austria and India with the Mozart Choir of India trained and guided by Pt. Ravi Shankar and Gerald Wirth. The best experience with the choir was when we performed at the very prestigious Golden Hall in Vienna. The choir and Orchestra comprised of at least 200-300 people with a packed audience in thousands. We sang the piece Gloria In Exelsis Deo. I don't think I've ever been a part of something so grand ever again in my life.

You've mentioned that you love the concept of Chorale singing. Tell us about your learning experience and how this thought developed.

Chorale singing, acapella music is something I've always loved and been very passionate about. I believe that the more you sing with people, the more you learn about your voice, tone, control, blending and that's what helped me develop my musicality. I've been performing and singing with my collective for years now. Two albums down, I do want to now explore the world of looping where I'll layer up my own voice with minimal instrumentation.

After having entered the Indie music space in Delhi, what were the challenges you initially faced in a place with a whole lot of talent and competition?
