In this episode, I chat with Abby V about music, more music and everything music. We even got to jam a bit. We talk about how his musical journey started in Carnatic, Hindustani and Western classical music; his musical influences including the biggest of them all: his dad, Mr Venkat. We chat about his time in Chennai and the music season, competing in musical contests, food, ' 73 raagas with Abby V', including his favourites; and of course, AR Rahman. And naturally, we look at the quotes and sayings that continually shape his life.
Based in Toronto, Ontario, Abby V is a professional vocalist and an award-winning singer, songwriter, and music composer. He is also a producer and audio engineer. In 2015 he was the winner of Worldwide TV Music Reality Show, 'Astro International Superstar'. He has collaborated with many world-renowned musicians, and you can see more of his work on his Youtube channel or listen to his music on Spotify.
