When did you first discover theater/what was your first experience?

I was cast as "The Cat" in a play my dad wrote for the kids in our community. Needless to say, I killed.

When/how did you become a writer? Is there a writer, show, or text that particularly inspired you?

I decided to become a writer when I realised that I can tell the stories I want to see on stage. A writer who has influenced me greatly is A.R. Rahman

How do you describe your style/work?

I describe my work as a holistic view of who I am. You'll get some Indian elements, some Bollywood, some funk, some musical theatre. My work is a sponge that reshapes the things it has absorbed.

What is most rewarding to you about writing music?

I think the most rewarding part is enjoying that music in a room full of people. Nothing beats the thrill of a live audience who are receptive to your message.
