My amateur Performances:

At Mathrusri engineering college

The first ever show I performed was at this college of engineering, when I had carried a cassette with 5 song musics minus my voice that is only music tracks. I played the cassette along and sang live. All songs were my own compositions. Couple in english, Hindi and telugu. Later i made quite a lot of friends at the same college and also at the architecture college,JNTU. I used to regularly perform for all get togethers in their colleges.

At thyagaraya gana sabha – 1991.

I organized a musical show as a fund raising activity for the Leo club I was heading as a president at that time.

For this show I had composed several own compositions for which I took the help of Mr.Suresh Babu a keyboard player and requested him to transport all his sequencer and other gear to the show.

He played the International track from his gear and I mixed my voice to it on the stage while performing.

For those days electronic music and programmed drums and keys was definitely an advanced technology.The show was attended by many college students and important guests who helped me further in my career.

Mrs. Madapati Sarala Rani, Mohd. Jani-minister for minor industries, Mr.Vamsee Rama Raju  and Mr.Muralidhar, Proprietor of Encode India and ad agency.

All my friends and also members of our leo club, Dr.Rajesh, Aruna, Rajagopal, Ravi Chandra, Shanti, Nagavalli, Mallinath,Ram Mohan and others helped me organize and sell the donor passes.

My Professional shows:

At Hanmakonda:

In 1996 when the memories of Gulabi were still fresh a group of three college students approached me with the reference of Madhu Varma that they wanted to host a musical show of mine.

Well I didn’t have a troupe of my own so I requested a friend of mine Sajid Khan (now more popularly known as GULLU DADA) to organize the musicians,

The budget was low in the sense keeping in view transportation of people and equipments.

I always had Micheal as my Idol and wanted to perform like he does . In that frenzy I asked my friend Ravi Teja to design the stage and backdrop and he left a week ahead of us.

With limited resources and time he managed to put up a decent backdrop using ply,cloth and other materials.

Adarsh supplied the Bins and with a few new singers one of them my niece sujatha and another aspiring singer rajini, Myself and my elder brother Pratap and sajid had performed to our best and gave an enthralling performance.The audience comprised of mostly college students of the warangal REC,degree and Intermediate colleges.

Packed to an approximate audience of 5000 near the stadium the crowd was very happy at the end of the show.

The last song I sang was “Ye rojaithe”, and I remember being shifted into a convoy of cars helped by the police from an overwhelming appreciating crowd .

The show was attended by the SP of warangal and many other special invitees.

Because of elaborate arrangements of cars, vehicles, equipment of sound and lighting and instrument players my costs rose to more than what was charged.

At the end as the organizers split and avoided my last instalment this show landed me into a loss making project.

All I took home with me were sweet memories and happiness which is more than what money can buy for me.
