Biography

Bio – My music career started back in school when a group of friends decided to put a band together for fun. This gave me the first taste and the desire to follow my passion in music. However it was not until a few years later that I joined a band and started performing part time in venues in Colombo and Bentota. Due to my unique husky voice I had always had success with Rod Stewart tributes and the rock classics of the 80's and 90's.
During this time I was also working for a shipping company as a sales and marketing manager.
My big break came when I was asked to join the Sri Lankan popula ... r band Wildfire as the lead singer. I spent 3 years with Wildfire enjoying success in Colombo, Australia and India until the band decided to split in 2008/9
I formed Crossroads after Wildfire split. As I had years of experience behind in the local music industry I decided to collaborate with other musicians to form a band of my own. Crossroads is currently enjoying success in Sri Lanka playing at the top nightclub venues in Colombo and for private and corporate functions with a huge following. In the past years we have also performed at the Formula 1 Race that was held in Colombo, at the Cricket Tournaments held at the Royal College Colombo and an October Beer Fest to name a few. In 2012 I organised a Crossroads concert in Colombo, collaborating with local sponsors in order to get the event up and running. The concert had a massive turn out despite other events happening on the same night and as a result I am in the process of organizing an event for 2013.
My sales and marketing experience has also been a great help to me when promoting and selling my band for local functions and overseas contracts. My outgoing personality has entertained many a crowd whilst performing at private functions and contracts at the bars and nightclubs of Colombo.
