Q: Was choosing music your childhood dream or you aspired to be something else? Where did you start from?<\/h3>\n

I belong to Kolkata where music is quite prevalent. I have been learning music from the age of 5. Though it was not a childhood aim but I learnt a lot through the cultural surroundings. My mom was my first teacher. She was my inspiration. After taking training from her for few years I took training from a classical teacher, then I started taking part in local competitions and I used to get good ranks into them.\u00a0 In 2004 my mom got my name registered in Zee Tv sare gamapa Lil champs auditions and I could reach to the top 10 which was really a great achievement for me. And that is when I realized that I can do something good in singing.<\/p>\n

Q: So when and from where the musical grooming went on?<\/h3>\n

First training\u00a0 that I got was received from my mom. She has been my inspiration as she is also a very beautiful singer. Then my mom took me to learn Indian classical music. I learnt from 4 Indian classical teachers and\u00a0 1 Western classical teacher.<\/p>\n

Q: You have been setting stages on fire just from the age of 5. What were the platforms where you had performed since childhood?<\/h3>\n

First I performed on Zee tv Sare gama pa. So that was a very big platform for me. Amul Star voice of India Chote Ustad me I participated and I reached to the top 5 and That was a big inspiration for me. And then I realized that I have to pursue a career in Music only. I was one of the finalists in Bharat ki Shaan 3 and Indian Idol 3 too.<\/p>\n

Q: Seeking the perfection into music requires quiet a lot of patience and hard work. Tell us about your musical routines?<\/h3>\n

When I was in Kolkata I used to do 3-4 hours Riyaaz every day, combining together both the\u00a0 classical music and light music. After graduation, I shifted to Bombay. I don\u2019t get so much of time because of occupancy due to recordings and shoots but whenever I get time I do Riyaaz for minimum two hours. It\u2019s a daily part of my life, as food and water is important for a person. If I don\u2019t do it I feel really uncomfortable because of it. I feel uneasy without it. So it is an part of my life.<\/p>\n
