This is what one of the music critic had to say about me.


This is what one of the music critic had to say about me.

My favourite western artist. I am a purist and didnt like anything except carnatic music, but became a fan when I first heardShadrach Solomon play with Layatharanga, the way he gels and interprets Indian music, a very sensitive artist, deserves more recognition. 



Hey I like it when he says Interprets Indian Music. You get to do that with a lot of HEART work.

My music room in the house went smaller and smaller so I have shifted the music room to a separate single BHK around a kilometre away from my house. There is less or no mobile signal and when I am there, no one can contact me, so please leave message and Ill call you back.
