When the call finally came this year, I felt very flattered and excited.

For me, my entire coke studio 4 journey had been all about my passion for music. It has been so much fun working on Coke Studio 4 because it made me come out of my comfort zone and do things I had never done before. It has been a great learning experience and I am glad Coca-Cola made me a part of this season.”
