I started my career in 2010 after dropping out of college. I always used to sing but I never thought of pursuing a career in the music industry. But when I was in college, I suddenly had this urge of doing something in the music field and that’s when I diverged all my focus to music career.
I had no idea of music and I didn’t know where to start. I was clueless so I started my career by singing, then writing songs and then composing music. I worked so hard and one day, while I was travelling by a local train, I saw a man playing manjira. He was the same man who played a song for the movie “Sholay”.
I was awestruck and it made me think differently. That’s what inspired me to help various artists like him get the kind of recognition they deserve to reach a bigger platform. So, I came up with a concept of revenue sharing which most companies don’t bother with. That’s when I started my own label “SHOONYA IKKA STUDIOS & FILMS™”, a music label that’s a Distributor of music.
In my label, I work with various artists and the income is divided into different percentage ratio and given accordingly.
Even though the road was not easy but I took that road and reached where I am now. And recently, I wrote a song “ Notebandi Song”.
If not music, I would have been a Scientist. I loved Physics and the universe always fascinated me. I am writing an asteroid based song “ Oumuamua”.
I am a die-hard fan of Madonna and she has been my inspiration but then I also started admiring Sonu Nigam, who I feel is my Guru and I have tried to adapt his style.
I like to compose music because it showcases your identity. Then I love Singing followed by Rapping and also I am writing a film script which is based on a Sci-Fi Horror: Ramak.
Again, I developed a recent interest and I am a believer of listening to my heart. And experimenting and exploring different options have always been my thing. So, I am starting with this too.
When I dropped out, my parents weren’t happy just like any other parents but they still supported me and helped me reach here. I had my confidence and I knew that I could do something. And they believed me and have always been my support system.
