His instrumental expression with a rich traditional bearing, clean powerful blowing and embedded in aesthetics has made an effective impact in the minds of connoisseurs of carnatic music. He is currently a lecturer in the Tirupati Sri Venkateshwara Nagaswara Thavil college. He has a carnatic music Nagaswaram diploma from the Vishakapatnam, Andhra university.
