EMERGING TO RULE THE INDUSTRY NO MATTER WHAT

His journey has been heart-touching from the opportunity to sing in front of legends like A.R. Rahman to being trained by the most talented composers this age. Trying to set a stage for himself, he states "Adithya as of now, if you ask me, not just now, always is a child. He likes to play with his life in his own way, making sure everyone is happy without taking hardships to heart. He leads a simple life."

How big of a rollercoaster has your journey been till date?

The journey has been a constant exploration, introducing someone with no idea what to do into the world of music. It all started during college, my friends invited me to be part of their band, and that's how I started singing. Then Super singer happened. I went from playing guitar and singing on the beach to singing in movies, independent music, and working on my original songs. Till date, I'm unsure if music is my Cup of tea, but I love and enjoy doing it

When we speak about journeys, how has "Bae" played its part?

"Bae" was a turning point in my career. Anirudh bro gave me the song, and it became a huge hit, bringing me much appreciation and opportunities. Meeting him on Super Singer as a chief guest was an ecstatic moment. He supported me when I faced elimination, invited me to his studio, and encouraged me to sing the song. Since then, he has been taking me along for various journeys, and I am always grateful for his guidance. He was genuinely happy when I told him I was working on an original song, and he wanted to listen to it at the studio. He never hesitates to provide constructive criticism and has appreciated my work, which means a lot to me.

Among the numerous concerts you've performed on, which one stands out as your favourite one and why?
