Profession

I started my YouTube channel around October 2009, but it was only after I sang a cover of “Tere Sang Yaara” that my YouTube channel caught people’s attention. I wanted to make music in a mature way but YouTube gave me the push but luckily it held me back. Gradually, television and FM were replaced by YouTube. It’s all a numbers game. I do a lot of covers, but I feel like the market for original music is saturated because everyone wants to be a singer on YouTube. “
