Tell us something about yourself:-

Originally from Pune, India, I am immensely passionate about Bollywood music. Eat, drink, sleep & think Music. For that I give credit to God’s blessings and also to my parent’s encouragement and support. My Passion and dedication helped me bag the coveted Pune Idol Award in 2007, when I was chosen out of more than 600 contestants. The Pune Idol- 2007 title boosted  my confidence and then I moved  to compete against 5000 contestants for the well- known reality TV Show Indian Idol in Mumbai.

Although, I could not make it to the finals of that year’s show, I was ranked 30th amongst the huge number of contestants. I vividly recall  my meetings with my idol Sonu Nigam in the process and consider it a highlight of my life so far. “Performing in front of my God Sonu Nigam was a dream come true”,. I soon moved on to perform songs for the Marathi film industry and also released two Bollywood song albums in Australia.
Recently I have been awarded as the Indian Karaoke Idol 2011 ( Michigan,US).
