Introduction

This is a journey of love, passion and faith. It is a journey that tells how I used all my God-given talents to the fullest; to reach out, to enjoy, to touch, to move, to share, to learn, and finally to appreciate “All the wonderful things God, the Almighty is doing for me”!

I never thought of a career in Music. It was the last thing on my mind as I was more focused on academic excellence. Music, in my parent’s and my mind, was only a relaxing, additional extracurricular activity a girl should learn. I never knew what I had in store. I was given the usual piano lessons and always seemed to have excelled in my lower grades in exams, always my teacher’s best pupil. But it meant nothing to me. It was all about certificates, papers, exams and performance. I was the youngest pupil to be awarded a diploma in my secondary school days. I started serving in the church choir, playing the organ at the age of 12. It was a challenge for me, as the choir often sang Handel’s Messiah and other challenging choruses and I had to be the accompanist. Again, it was just fun to be playing challenging stuff. My journey in music was always easy, fun, and enjoyable.

After my college days, while waiting to begin medical studies in Australia, my dad brought me to consult a doctor friend about my choice of a career in medicine. Somehow, during the conversation, it dawned on me that perhaps my calling was not in the medical profession. That was when I decided that music is where my heart and passion lies, and that is what I want to do for the rest of my life. That very night, my musical journey began.
