<span class=normal>The first Big break<BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>When I met Rahman sir in Chennai, I didnt know which song or film I am going to sing for. He just told me Naresh, I have a few tracks here and there. Well just go with the flow and see which one suits your voice best. The first song of mine which got released was a song called Mayilirage from a Tamil film. After that I recorded a few more songs with him for both Tamil and Hindi films<BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>The Turning Point<BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>It would have to be Rang De Basanti because in RDB, Rahman sir used me abundantly. I sang 3 different songs- Roobaroo which is a country guitar kind of a number, Paathshala which has a racy, hip hop feel and Tu Bin Bataye a very soothing melody. <BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>Though all the 3 songs are extremely dear to me, Roobaroo is the song that gave me immense popularity. To be frank, when I recorded the song I was dead tired and I didnt imagine in my wildest dreams that it would go on to become such a big rage. I am really grateful to God, Rahman Sir and most importantly the audience for having liked my voice. <BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>My Gurus of Music<BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>My grandmother and my parents are my main inspiration. They are the ones who always encouraged me to pursue music. I am really fortunate for having born in this family. Towards the end of my college, I took training in Carnatic and a bit of Hindustani music from Mrs. Sushila Mani and Mr. Chintamani Gore. On the professional, front I am grateful to Rahman sir for giving me that big break</span>
