Tell us a little bit about yourself

I have completed my Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science and currently I am pursuing my Master’s Degree from Griffith College, Dublin in Computing Science. About my Music Career, I have participated in many music competitions since childhood and I have won medals and certificates for playing various musical instruments in school. I have won medals (Gold and Silver) in ‘Vidharbha level’ (A Region of Maharashtra State, India) singing competition.

One of the most important achievement of my life has been getting selected for the A. R. Rahman (Oscar winning Indian musician) College of Music which is the best college in Asia for pursuing music as a career.

Walk us through your Radio na Life experience

So on Saturday 2nd February, Radio Station 106.4 interviewed me. They Officially recorded me singing three Bollywood songs namely: 

1. Gulabi Aankhen

2. O mere Dil k chain

3. O o jane jana 

After the recording the radio station staff also stated that I am  the first Indian to do so. So it is a proud moment for me. Yes, it was indeed an overwhelming experience for me as the radio station people has recognised and appreciated my talent with the songs of my genre. I really feel proud that I am able to promote and introduce such Bollywood type music to all Irish people through radio
