Inspiration Philosophy
Favourite musicians - Madurai Mani Iyer, T V Sankaranarayanan, KV Narayanaswamy, Voleti Venkateswarulu, Nedanuri Krishnmaurthy, Semmangudi Srinivasa Iyer, GNB. (I have periodically and vehemently been under the influence of numerous and varied ideas. Currently I believe that individualism must be the top priority of an artist as it would allow them to shed the various influences that have crept into their thoughts processes, thereby influencing their every artistic decision and possibly hampering a realisation of one`s true preferences. Individualisation might also help one to achieve a most comfortable method of singing that suits one`s own vocal and physical predisposition.)
Future Aspirations
Aspiring to learn many tamizh compositions, and lesser known works of uncommon composers, and to personally create Geya-Kavyas concerning stories and ordinary things like trees.
