I'm Najim Arshad, born and brought up in Thiruvananthapuram,in a family which showed wide interest in music.I learned the first lessons of music from my mother. She is a music teacher in a Govt. school. I'm very much inspired by my father who is a retired administrative officer in the Vigilance Department. I have two elder brothers. One is working as doctor and the other as a sound engineer. It's happy to say that both my brothers are musicians.) Our leisure time activities include writing lyrics, composing music, and innovating new styles in music.
I'm undergoing a a special training in Karnatic music vocal from my Gurunathan Sri:H.Raju, retired professor SST College of Music Thiruvananthapuram, since 1995.I was trained in violin by Sri:Rathinam as well as by sri:Kadanad Haridas(S.S.T College Thiruvananthapuram).Within a short time I was lucky to get many achievements in the field of music.As one who is deeply committed to music I'm very much thankful to God and obliged to my parents, teachers and others for their ardent support and blessings.
Above all I express my sincere gratitude to my friends and well wishers for their prayers and encouragements which definitely lead me to achievements. I am grateful to Mr. Joy of Kanjirappally Amala Studio for the motivation he has been giving me since we met for the first time. I request your prayers and blessings forever to achieve greater goals in my life.
