I've been in the industry 10 years — and I am glad I could
sustain myself through all these years of entertaining people, singing popular
songs. I'm thoroughly enjoying my profession as it's a childhood dream come
true for me.
UPCOMING PROJECTS
Adhithi in Tamil and Local in Kannada are confirmed. The
response for the Koodamela Koodavechi song from the recently released Rummy has
thrilled me. 1-7-.
TRYST WITH CARNATIC MUSIC
I had a penchant for Carnatic music since my childhood and
revel in exploring its diversity and singing songs pertaining to it. Though the
response is not going to be as instant to it as it Is to filmi music, the
delight it provides is unparalleled. I consider rendering Carnatic music as a
meditative process.
STINT AS AN ACTOR
It was a sudden decision. Bharathan, the director of
Adhithi, asked me to play a meaty role in the movie, which will have Nanda too
in it. Bharathan was convinced that I would be able to do it after watching the
making of the recording. I think being a dub-. bmg artist will help me pull it
off as an actor. Though I'm getting offers to play lead roles, my priority will
always be singing.
KNOWING THE LANGUAGE
I firmly believe that
a singer has to be adept in the language in which he sings for a flawless
output. Luckily, though my roots are in Maharashtra, I was born and brought up
in Coimbatore. Also, my proficiency in Sanskrit and Kannada languages are an
added advantage.
