“My music speaks what cannot be expressed, it soothes the mind and heals a broken heart,” he said.
Through his music, Chillas said he hopes to inspire young people to be more focused, goal-orientated and use their talents to their full ability.
His music is his connection to what the world doesn’t know about him.
“I have been through my own set of ups and downs and I believe despite the challenges, music has helped me stay motivated.”
The IT graduate added that he believes that education is the key, especially if you are in the music or entertainment business.
“There are lot of things to be done besides being on stage. You need to have something to fall back on just in case your music or chosen art does not work for you,” he added.
