I started playing musical instruments at a very young age of 10 years (2009). Initially I was into Indian instruments but as I explored other instruments I started playing piano in the year 2012. I have been exploring other instruments but piano is something that just matched with my fingers. I have never been to any institute to learn but I had Mr. Krishna Kant sir – my music teacher in school – who guided me during my early learning period. Unfortunately I lost touch with him after a few years but today I hope if he sees me and my piano skills he would be proud of me.
