It has been a true honour to mentor this exceptional group of young musicians, who have used their passion for music to spread joy and drive meaningful social change from a remarkably early age. Aryan and Hriday were just nine years old when they founded Music Factory, and they quickly rallied peers to join them—building a student-led movement rooted in creativity, compassion, and purpose. 

Given their young age at the time, I took on the role of guiding and supporting them—helping give shape to their vision of a music-driven collective and facilitating early performances and events. 

Through their dedication, the children have helped nurture a more empathetic and engaged community—organising cleanliness drives, donation campaigns, and using music as a tool to uplift and inspire. 

Watching their journey over the years has been a source of immense pride. Their growth—as artists, as individuals, and as socially conscious citizens—has been nothing short of inspiring. I have no doubt they will carry this spirit forward, continuing to balance their personal aspirations with a deep commitment to social good.
