Singer, Arohi Kothari of the V4 Once More band, says she inherited the talent of singing from Nanaji and her mother, both of whom were music teachers. She said, “The gift of music was passed down to me. As I grew up, I realized that I enjoyed being on stage, singing and dancing much more than my studies in MBA college.”
Arohi mentions “during my school and college days I used to participate in several singing competitions and won prizes. I performed as a background voice artist for Gujarati TV serials. Also, at the age of 4, I was the youngest live singing artist for the All India Radio (Akashvani) programme named Meghdhanush''. “As I grew up, with the support of my father and mother, choosing between a job and music became easy. My father was happy to support my decision to be a singer despite knowing that it would not generate an income as good as a conventional job at least during the initial phase.
I want to emphasize how grateful I am for the support of my family and friends in my musical journey. Their belief in me has been instrumental in my growth and success,” she added. She has received formal training in Gujarati Sugam Sangeet and Indian classical music, but gradually, she moved towards Bollywood music training. She further shared that music holds a very special place in her life. Arohi and her other band members met in a music class, and their friendship and passion towards music inspired them to make this band. “I've felt very comfortable and happy with them since the beginning. Our friendship inspired us to create this band. We were all singing as freelancers, but we realized that together, we could create magic on stage. We were meant to perform together,” she said.
V4 Once More band is all set to release their new friendship song, and Arohi says the song is special because it represents who they are and what they want to show the world. She adds, “We want to show that friendship matters and stays with you through all walks of life. Apart from the lead singers of V4 Once More, I am also very grateful to have the best team of musicians who have come along with us since the beginning and helped us grow to the level that we are at today.”
