Enveloped by his love and appreciation for music and art, he immersed himself into the study of traditional classical art which gave expression to the beautiful sound he so greatly admired. This journey saw him spend 5 years in Bangalore, India, completing his Bachelor of Architecture Degree at Visvesvaraya Technological University. This also presented him with the opportunity of furthering his musical aspirations under the direction of the Legendary Dr. L Subramaniam and Kavita Krishnamurthy at the Subramaniam Academy of Performing Arts (SAPA). He was awarded a two-year training program to fine tune his musical skill in Carnatic Music. This journey also transformed Kerolin’s life into a spiritual one in which he finds much solace and peace. He has had the opportunity to perform on various platforms both locally and abroad. His versatility and interest in multiple genres of art and culture has lead him to working with various artists from diverse communities, bridging the gap between people and place, allowing all people to listen and appreciate multi-cultural ethnic and traditional music. Kerolin, now, a professional architect and creative director of Jivanmukta music, hopes to promote, share and explore the world of art, to create a platform for like-minded people to share in the experience of soulful music and art. He believes that music has the potential to heal, and lives by the motto: “Rediscover the true-self and live with the yearning to discover.”
