Early Life
I grew up in Africa and was influenced by the phenomenal sense of rhythm that surrounds every experience there. i wrote and composed my first song on a casio keyboard when i was 7 - (I will never forget 'Suzanna'). had an active interest in Carnatic music while exploring the pop & rock music of my age, but really got deeper into music after listening to bands like Deep Purple, Eagles, Iron Maiden & Metallica.
Interests
What probably frustrates me is that i am interested in too many things - apart from music, i am a speed & adrenalin junkie and love cars & bikes, adventure sports - bungy jumping, diving, skiing, etc. Also love racket sports like squash, tennis and badminton in that order
Media Influence
Like everyone else MTV shaped a lot of my music listening, but was inducted into more serious rock by friends who were part of my first band, and then later some real metal heads who took things to another level
Achievements
having moved around a lot when i was a kid - i had to keep proving myself and have the distinction of being one of the youngest matriculates in South Africa. started performing in shows when i was in my early teens and did the local competition circuit where i managed to win a few prizes. I had to focus a lot on work after my MBA and this did get me some success in my career working in top grade companies like Coca-Cola, Johnson & Johnson and Abbott Laboratories across different parts of India and Asia Pacific. The highlight was managing a business as Managing Director for Asia Pacific with oversight of 16 countries including Australia & New Zealand, Japan, China, India & everything in between these.
Music Influence
Bands like Metallica & Aerosmith definitely had an impact on how i make my music. Iron Maiden, for certain but even artists like Gary Moore, Bon Jovi & John Mayer have impacted my writing
Past Collaborators
I wish i could have collaborated more but unfortunately i never had the opportunity to do so, but am looking forward to doing more of that with musifie
my collaborators
Ambar Das, Manasquam Mahanta, Manas Choudhary
