More than just a name, 'Metal Maami' encapsulates the journey that has been my life thus far, sculpted by contrasting forces. While my upbringing was steeped in the rich heritage of Tamil traditions, the comforting sounds of Vedic chants, spices being tempered and the classical melodies of Carnatic music, an undeniable pull led me towards a different kind of symphony—one forged in the raw power of roaring guitars and the rebellious spirit of lyrics that taught me something I couldnt learn elsewhere."

"For years, I navigated these seemingly disparate identities: the 'Iyer ponnu,' deeply rooted in my heritage and sacred rituals, and the metalhead, drawn to the unbridled strength and cathartic chaos of extreme metal. This journey taught me that I didn't have to choose between these integral parts of myself. Instead, I embraced the powerful truth that I could be both, and be proud of it. Today, 'Metal Maami' is more than a name; it's a living testament to the profound harmony found within contradictions, celebrating the fusion of my authentic self.
