A look at the milestones and connections that define my journey as a voice artist, from receiving state-level recognition to sharing space with Sandalwood legends.

I was deeply honored and humbled to receive the 'Karnataka Kala Ratna' award. This recognition, presented by former High Court judge Arali Nagaraj sir, was a major milestone in my journey and motivates me to work even harder at my craft.

FM News Kannada was kind enough to feature my story, covering my ability to mimic over 21 different artists. This news report shows me demonstrating voices like Dr. Rajkumar and Shankar Nag, and I also speak about my dream of getting a break in the Kannada film industry.

ETV Bharat Karnataka featured my talent in this article, highlighting my ability to perform voice impressions of over twenty artists. I am very thankful for the media's support in giving a platform to artists like me.

I am truly grateful for the incredible support I have received online. This performance of mine, captured by TV9 Kannada, went on to get over 2.2 million views on YouTube. It shows the love people have for these legendary voices.

Meeting the Hattrick Hero, Dr. Shivarajkumar sir, was a very happy moment. He was very kind and spent time with us, and his encouragement means a lot to an aspiring artist like me.

I had another opportunity to meet the talented actor Daali Dhananjay sir during the auditions for the 'Uttarakanda' movie in Hubli. I even added a voice-over with one of his famous dialogues to this clip.

I felt very happy after meeting Daali Dhananjay sir during the promotions for his film 'Inspector Vikram'. It is always a pleasure to meet and interact with the actors who inspire my work.

I am very grateful to RJ Mahi sir from Red FM Hubballi for his constant guidance and support. His encouraging words have helped me stay persistent on this long journey to achieve my goals.
