child to win the Singing Award, My Inspiration and Involvement Started from there, Then when i turned 16 I met RDB Dj Manj in a Concert, I asked him to Record My song in his Studio, and he being such a great person recorded my song, and then from the i took off.:)

What’s the biggest challenge in trying to get a record deal?
The Biggest Challenge is that mostly many artist out there have alot of potential but they do not have source, in other terms a person who could guide them to where and how it has to be done, other aspects would be promotion, they get less publicity and then by time they fade out. but i would say keep trying dont give up, people will listen to you and your hard work.

In this Small Age i have Achieved 1 Canadian Government Award For Best South Asian Singer, 2 National Awards and 1 International UK Award for South Asian Catagory, But Among them the Most Biggest Achievement I have so Far is Z-Sean Ali Trust, it is an organization for kids who do not have parents, our Trust works in All 3rd World Countries,and I have Committed 50% of my Music Earning to The Trust, So i Feel that is the Most Biggest Achievement.
