The whole life thing began in India, a country of colors, spectacle, smells and consciousness. The first years were the most sensuous of my life. Every color in the world bathed in the glare of sunshine and the warmth of the rain. The hubbub of cars, sharing the same streets as the cows, and the gariwallahs (kinda rickshaw drivers). The smells of the food on the street sharing the same smell of the cow dung and the Lepers. If cornucopia meant anything then this was it. Never went back after we got to England. Finally thought I would like to make a special trip with my mother who could tell me where I peeeed in my pants and anything else that was memorable to her about me. Mothers are great. But, three months before I thought we would go, my mother died.

Wow didn't see that one coming.

Anyway came to England at 10. Started singing at 16 in school performances and then started a cover band at 17 or 18, cannot remember. Hurt my voice at 19 one month before I decided I wanted to go professional. What was this strange beast that kept on rearing its ugly head to screw with my life. I am saying this in hindsight of course.

Thank god I had no understanding about ambition otherwise I would have been angry or depressed as hell. Singing is my one and greatest love. But I was also Indian and calm prevailed. When you come from a space where cow dung shares the same space as the greatest food in the world, sh.. happens is the real deal. Anyway took me three years to get over the voice thing so I began to write songs. And the rest is historical or hysterical because the life"s a B!!!! scenario visited me a few times and sometimes it is truly hilarious how bad things can get. Mind you if it was not for this life thing I may not have gotten to be a singer, song-writer, musician, actor, writer, director, producer, cameraman, video editor, designer, theatre artistic director, acting teacher, jazz club owner, lighting designer, recording studio engineer, finish carpenter, house painter.

SO GO FIGURE.

Welcome to my website where the past will meld into the present and you will play an influential part in the future hopefully.
