A career spanning almost 25 years in the Music business is how I would like to introduce myself. Born and educated in Sri Lanka, I first was introduced to music by my Parents. We would sing at House Parties at Church or on any occasion where families like ours used to meet. Even today there is this same sense of singing if ever there should be an occasion.
I then tried a hand at playing an Instrument and the Guitar was the only available source of rhythm. Within a short time I was able to play tunes and sing along. By this time I wanted to learn to play a Piano because I was fascinated about the sound and the playing techniques. Started learning to read music, but use to play tunes by not looking at Notes. Not really the best thing to pursue.
This was all I did during the next teen years of my life until one day I was asked if I was interested in performing with a real Band. This was when things got serious and I decided that this was what I needed to do. The even bigger deal was when I was offered to perform in Switzerland to which I agreed. Throughout all these years I have meet and moved around with lots of people some of whom are still very close to me. It is because of these Guys that I decided to put together some Material for my Site.
Music in Switzerland was a real challenge. We had to learn to live together and start adapting ourselves to a different way of life. After doing almost 4 Years as a Professional Musician I called it quits and started doing Music as a hobby. It was now time for me to think about family and performing only on weekends used to support me financially as well. |
