I was born in a traditional Hindu family. My parents are devotee of Shree Ganesh. I grew up by lsitening to the morning evening parayers rendered by my mother. Father was inborn artiste who was able to direct, act and sing with his inborn musical qualities and skills the local musical dramas/theatre. I was grown up at Sanguem - Goa where the two river confluence is taking place. Fathers natural voice and his singing awaken my senses and it made me aware of my skills of sound recognition. My father use to make me listen the experience of Pandit Khaprumama Parvatkar which he experienced being with him. My learning and becoming a performing artiste of Hindustani classical singing is coming from my parents dedication towards art and the culture of Indian tradition.
