An accappella Sinhala single
For the first time a Sinhala acceppella single has been released by
Michelle Perera who has burst into the music scene.
“The single is Me Mal Mawatha which is all about my school days and
it was my Dad who spurred me into recording the song. I was flying for
three airlines Sri Lankan, Ethihad and Qatar but since music is my
passion I decided to do a definite turn around and my single is the
start of my music career” says Michelle flashing that attractive smile
of hers.
Michelle hails from a musical family. Her Dad is none other than the
recognised multi-instrumentalist Melantha Perera of Mirage fame. Her
brother is Dave - a guitarist/vocalist and Michelle intends joining his
band Battery and making music. That’s good, Sri Lanka’s music scene
needs more new faces to perk it up from its slumbers.
She says that her Dad has instilled in them to be creative and
individual and not copy others and we are confident that Michelle with
his and her mother Devika’s support will go places.
A multi instrumentalist Michelle who plays guitar, keyboards and
drums enjoys karate, swimming and modelling. What’s more she loves dogs.
She’s got four dogs at home and says “someday I want to open up an
orphanage for stray dogs because I believe that they too have a right to
live happily, peacefully and be loved”. But before all that happens
here’s wishing Michelle success in her new found career. |
