  I am extremely fortunate that from a very young age, my family encouraged my creative expression, whether it was through painting, singing, sculpting or theatre. My father used to—and still does—organise baithaks at home with friends and family. So I think he has been instrumental in my trajectory towards sufiana qalams. I didn’t quite understand their meaning back then but now that I do, it’s like learning a magic trick. I had also started learning Hindustani classical music from my guru Gurinder Kaur, a disciple of Kishori Amonkar, at the age of four, up until I was about 14. I think this foundation in classical music has really given me the confidence and freedom to branch out into different spaces of my creative expression.” ^[1]Platform
