I was raised in Bhagalpur, Bihar and I’m currently pursuing my studies at Amity University, Noida, UP. I began learning music at an age of seven from my Guru, Smt Suchitra Sarkar in Bhagalpur itself. My parents trusted me and my voice and supported me a lot. At the age of 17, my brother initiated my Youtube channel and we released a mashup song on my channel.
I was a bit nervous that it may not get even 10k views but it was really a big thing for me when it crossed millions of views in just a couple of months. That gave me a lot of confidence to upload more songs. I’ve also released my first original song on Rakshabandhan, “Rakhi Aai”, and now I’m planning on uploading more originals and cover songs.
2. When did you first decide you wanted to pursue music and how did you start?
As I said I was introduced to music when I was 7, I began my practice by listening to old classical songs to understand how singers sing along with pitch, scale, rhythm, melody and chords to make a perfect song.

My Guru, whom I can’t thank enough, helped me improve my singing and she is the reason behind my skills and now my voice is appreciated by thousands.
3. Who is your favourite artist and why?
I do like to listen to many artists but Shreya Ghoshal inspires me the most from the industry, as she shares a similar background as mine and I try to imitate the way of singing.
4. Can you throw some light on opportunities one gets as a singer?
There are so many opportunities one can get as a singer. Singer for a band, Show singers, Studio professionals, Individual artists, Backup singers and more. A vocalist’s career might consist of live performances, recorded tracks or both.
5. Is formal training required or can one train themselves purely on the basis of talent?
I’d say formal training is not that necessary because I’ve seen many who don’t have good financial status and they can’t take classes but still they perform very well in reality shows and even in general. According to my, it's the 50-40-10 rule; 50% of talent, 40% of practice and 10% of guidance.

6. What piece of advice would you like to give to future and aspiring artists?
My advice for them would be, don’t ever lose hope, sometimes you’ll feel like you are not good enough or not doing good and you want to give up but with practice and consistency, you’ll do great someday. Every day brings a new morning and a new you.
