If one were to picture a normal music band, they could see seasoned musicians playing at wedding venues or bars. However, the lead guitarist of the Hyderabad-based indie fusionrock band "Voice of Strings," who is only 14 years old, is grabbing everyone's attention. The ninth-standard student Rishi, often known as Chotu, is a rising star in the music industry.
His uncle Joel Rajesh, a skilled rhythm guitarist, had a big impact on him when he was five years old and inspired him to start playing music. In addition to founding the band with the same name in 2021, Rajesh also founded the Voice of Strings music school in 2011. The other two vocalists in the eight-piece band, in addition to Chotu and Rajesh, are Justin and Vishanvi. Prathusha serves as the lead vocalist. naveen Joshua and Benhur provide the drumming expertise, while Mahesh controls the acoustic guitar. indian and Western music are also included in the band's repertoire, satisfying a variety of interests.
"As a student at the 'Voice of Strings' music school, I began performing at the age of 10 and developed my musical skills during the epidemic. I wasn't a big fan of telugu music at first, but after learning about music production, I discovered how important all types of music are. Chotu claims that rock and metal are his particular favourite.
Rajesh claims that the band's progress has been gradual, starting with cover songs that drew crowds in to their shows to now writing original telugu music that is now in post-production. "We prefer to satisfy audience demands. Five years ago, nobody would have given a telugu band or independent music a chance, but today a lot has changed. Rajesh adds, "I'm pleased to see this development in Hyderabad's independent sector, which substantially benefits artists.
