I consider myself a student of music for lifetime.

Music in my life traces back to childhood days, when I was about 5 years old. Since then, I started to train under my grandfather and guru Thirupoonthuruthy Sri V Venkatesan (Carnatic Classical Vocal, 1994  present).

I consider myself extremely blessed and fortunate to have learnt from Sangita Kala Acharya Late Chingelput Sri Ranganathan (Carnatic Classical Vocal, 2002-2011).

Their teachings have formed strong foundation for music and life. This association led to a rich heritage of innumerable kritis (repertoire) in the authentic Alathur pathantara. I solely credit my fundamental understanding of musical concepts to both of them.

I was also under the tutelage of Parur M S Anantharaman & Akkarai Sri S Swamynathan for a brief period (Carnatic Classical Violin).
