“Music has been integral to my life since childhood, beginning with Carnatic music and evolving into a strong interest in Opera. my early exposure to choral music left me to Western Classical training, where I became fascinated by the operatic voice and storytelling. I aim to support the growth of opera and Western Classical music in India and Bahrain, inspiring and teaching the next generation. My goal is to continue evolving as a performer and contribute to this growing community.
I was born in Kerala, India, and grew up in Bahrain, where family and community were central to my life. Outside of opera, I’m a keen baker and ran a small bakeshop during the pandemic. I also enjoy cooking, spending time with loved ones, playing badminton, and travelling.”
