“My name is Krishna Gayatri. I am pursuing my final year in Bachelors of Sciences, simultaneously with Bachelors in Carnatic music. I was told, that even before I learnt to speak as a child I began to sing like a nightingale. Since the age of 3, music has been a part of me that I can never let go off.

My father has always been fond of singing. He is the reason why music is more than just a hobby in my life. I recollect how he used to sing to me melodiously and I would reply back in the same tune as his while I was just a toddler.

The keen interest I had towards music and singing got me to perform in various competitions. Singing competitions at school were my arena in which I could showcase my talent with no boundaries. This got me to perform at the All India Radio as a child. I also had the privilege to sing on Andhra Pradesh’s Formation Day. It was an honor to perform for the Chief Minister himself.

I never choose to make a career in music. For me singing is the authenticity and self- satisfaction it gives and not the fame in performing it. Eventually when one chooses music and singing as their career, it is nothing but commercial at the end of the day. Which is part of the art, but something I do not prefer to go along with.”
