My name
is Nitin Muralikrishna. I joined Unison school of music when I was 5 years old.
This was in the year 2001. From then till the year 2008 I was trained and
guided by my teacher Mr.Raj Vasanthan. Music always caught my attention from
when I was 6 months old. As a kid I always had the fascination of playing the
keyboard. I learnt Carnatic for two years, and then moved on to western. I
learnt all the basics which were a requirement for the Trinity exams. Sir was
very keen that I did the initial grade. After seeing my results, with full
confidence in me, he asked me to take up the grade 2 exams directly. After that
I did my 3rd as well as my 4th grade. By then I had the
confidence in me to improvise, experiment and compose music. I started taking
interest in music programming and arrangement which involved computers, MIDI
and other technical equipments. This became my hobby and I started doing a lot
of this throughout my 8th, 9th and 10th standards. I also produced few tracks for Raj Vasanthan
Sir. I started taking part in inter-school
keyboard and band competitions. I also started to play at family gatherings, wedding
receptions and other functions along with friends and professionals from the
Music industry. This was a great learning experience and I started to explore
on the various processes involved in music production and composition. I decided
to do music production and arrangement as my future career. I am currently in
my 12th studying at PSBB-KK
Nagar. I had applied for the Recording
Arts and Science course at Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music, NUS,
Singapore for which I have been selected and asked to appear for an audition
next month.
I am
very thankful to Mr.Raj Vasanthan, for his guidance, right from the start.
