Candid With Candy- Fossils' lead guitarist Allan Ao shares why he chose music as a career at age 30

Often referred to as the ‘magician behind the guitar’, my next guest is the lead guitarist of the celebrated Rock band from Kolkata India - Fossils. Though there is some progress, professional success is still tied to titles like ‘Doctor, Captain, IAS, Professor or Vice President’ He too was faced with the dilemma that most of us go through.. While his heart was at a place where society only looked at as a ‘hobby’, he grudgingly led life as an IT professional, using retail therapy as a means of escape with the ‘stable’ job he had. The result - He didn’t find meaning and purpose in the life he led. He was hungry for much much more. Now here is why his story is worth sharing.. At age 30, he took a leap of faith. He left his corporate job to do music full time… a choice that had no future at that time. A bold and daring move .. with a child who was a few months old. 13 years later, it would be safe to say that Fossils has at least 2MM fans in Bengal alone. “Allan Da” finds purpose and meaning in the life he leads today. My learning - It’s never too late. Take risks for your own sake. If you invest in your passion, you are bound to excel just like Allan did. Hear Allan talk about his choices, his family and his music career. In conversation with Allan Ao from Kolkata, India.
