Today on the Buzz, I speak to the man who is making our toes tap and hips move. Krishan, who has been in the music industry for a very long time, is making headlines today with his song ‘Bonikara tharuwak’. Although he has a very challenging 9 to 5 job, his love for music keeps his hair from falling off fully. 

1. What would you say defines Krishan? Sensitive, family-is-life person, extremely fun and serious at times too. Energetic, fun-loving and a workaholic.
 
2. How did you find music? My dad was a guitarist and his love for music, helped me bring out the musician in me. I then not only participated but won the Sirasa karaoke championship in the year 2003 followed by becoming a finalist at TNL onstage 2004 That was the turning point in my music career. My School (St Joseph’s College Colombo 10) had the biggest impact during my school days since I was a senior trumpet player and the band leader of the school's western band.
 
3. Tell me about your new song. And did you ever think it would make it this big? Well with God's grace, it is loved by many Sri Lankans all over the world. I was hoping that it would be a song that would entertain listeners and bring happiness to them. The Song is not just sung by me, My good friend Malinda Ranasinghe plays a main role with his amazing Vocal capabilities as well. Bonikara tharuwak, that’s the name of it… my friend Malinda suggested that we should do a song, a 6x8 that would reach any audience. After a few discussions, we were able to get the right lyrics for the song by Ansaf Ameer, music by Kasun Wickremasinghe and a great music video by Dinesh Antony. 
 
4. You have moved from the band Doctor. What’s next? Well, my love for music hasn’t stopped even though I left Doctor 3 years ago.. but I was able to take a long break and that helped me understand what I really needed. And yes playing for a band, was one thing missed. So the good news is that I will be joining the Warehouse project soon as a lead singer… waiting to rock the stages again
 
5. How competitive is the music world today? Very! But it’s good… it helps all of us to be better than who we were yesterday
 
6. Who has been your inspiration in music? My father ( Christopher Perera ), Elton John  &  Sunil Perera
