Hi! I’m Ekaksh Goyal, and I have 16 years of existence. I am currently in 11th grade at Lotus Valley International School, Noida. With a solid center on Physics, Chemistry, Maths, English, and Computer Science, I am passionate about innovation and development.

I reside in Delhi, India, submerged in different ventures and activities. As a committed developer, I have worked on making a Buggy App designed to identify and report security vulnerabilities in software systems and a sign language glove to help people who cannot listen or talk. My travel in tech is complemented by my internships at TMU College Moradabad, SAAR Education Noida, and Jitin Chawla’s Center for Career and Development. Here, I picked up a hands-on encounter in cybersecurity, information investigation, and career improvement under the mentorship of industry experts.

My journey with Music Factory, a band based in Noida, has been an incredible and transformative experience. The band was founded by Aartee Aunty, who became connected to our family when my mother met her through her son Hriday, my best friend in class 4. From that moment on, I became a dedicated member of Music Factory.

I began my musical journey with the band as an egg shaker, a humble but essential role that introduced me to the rhythm and energy of music. As I grew more confident, I took a step forward and sang the song “Khandhon Se Milte Hain Kandhe,” marking my debut as a vocalist in the band. Eventually, I found my true passion behind the drums, where I could fully express my love for music.

With Music Factory, I was fortunate to be part of many memorable events and performances. We participated in the Ganga cleaning drive, where our music played a role in promoting environmental awareness. We also had the privilege of performing for cancer patients, bringing them moments of joy and comfort through our music. Our journey took us to Adobe Noida, where we played soothing beats for their team, and to Noida’s Talent Contest, where we showcased our talents in both Nukad Nattak and instrumental performances, winning first place.

We also performed in various sectors across Noida, spreading awareness through street performances, and had the opportunity to play at prestigious venues like KIET University, Noida Stadium, and the inauguration of Decathlon in DLF Mall of India and at Cyber Hub Gurgaon, Sang Ganga Stotram on the banks of Ganga in chota haridwar, Zakir Hussain College,Independence Day performance showcased in Republic TV,SIFFCY 2019, ICICI Event Delhi NCR,Fundraiser for Nahal School Girls,International Yoga Day Performance,Online performance featured by AajTak and NDTV.

Looking back, my time with Music Factory has been a roller coaster of emotions, from the highs of our successes to the challenges we faced together. The friendships I made and the memories we created are ones I will cherish forever. None of this would have been possible without the unwavering support and guidance of Aartee Aunty. I am immensely grateful to her for giving me the opportunity to be a part of such a refined and amazing band.
