I took to Mridangam at the age of 6 under the tutelage of Sri. Srinivasan of AIT, Chennai. I subsequently had the God fortune of being guided by the Ghattam Stalwart in Sri. Vikku Vinayakaram. With this fortune, I had accompanied on Mridangam on Kutcheries, AIR and Doordarshan from the age of 12. At the age of 14, I had composed a fusion programme which was telecast in Doordarshan, Chennai.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"&gt;Due to educational and professional compulsions, my future advancement in music got stifled. However, the hunger in me for Music could never die. I completed an album called "Cascade", which was only shared to my family members just to satisfy my personal interest in music.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"&gt;Buoyed by feedback from my family members,&amp;nbsp;my quest for music was reborn. In the form of learning keyboard on my own, my Mridangam specialization (rhythm) helped me in a big way in furthering my success in keyboard playing and composing. This way, I ventured into a full scale album in fusion music..&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
