I picked up an old, rusty guitar in "2015-ish". Music brought me friends, office staircase jams and a film song, "Ninnalli Neenu" from "Megha". I started writing "So Ja Ab Tu Chanda" in 2017 when my mother was in hospital, "like a lullaby in reverse". I hope you make it yours and sing it to comfort those who once comforted you. ### My work - **Live and recorded vocals**: I sing and play guitar solo or with other musicians, and sing for films and original tracks. - **Ceremony music**: I sing beside the stage while the ceremony happens. Solo or two-piece usually suits this. - **Songs and stories**: I share my own music and covers, including evenings called "Songs & Stories". - **Live song requests**: I take requests in Malayalam, English, Kannada, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. - **Original music**: My debut original is "So Ja Ab Tu Chanda", a folk-pop lullaby I started writing for my mother. - **Shared music**: My "Kina Chir" collaboration with Ashish Kamath brings together Punjabi singing and Konkani rap.
