Confucius has said it right choose a profession that you love and you will never have to work a day in your life.
But how often we end up doing things in our life that we actually love and want to pursue a career in it? Be it a family pressure or unfavourable situations we give up on our dreams and passion and start to do job for earning bread and butter.
This is a story of Virendera Kaith an ace drumer, who is now also a renowned name that rings well in the music industry.
You must have seen an advertisement of a drummer in one of the YouTube’s skip ads video called signature startup its Virendera Kaith.
He is currently tied up with Signature Startup where he is promoting the campaign on individuals who have taken the road less travelled,and have turned their impossibilities into their biggest assets.
He too was caught up in the same dilemma of choosing a job over his passion since he was the sole breadwinner of the family, he even worked at a company where he had to edit lyrics and he did it because he always wanted to be as close to music .
But somewhere deep down his heart he always knew he was made for Bigger things in life.
Finally when it came to make a choice between following his passion and working to make ends meet. He went with the former and has not looked back ever since.
He is well known for metal music scenes in India and was the drummer for Demonic Resurrection, a death metal band from Mumbai.
He got his very first break by Abhor a death metal band in 2000 which helped him in getting introduced to larger bands like Vader, Six Feet Under and Slayer.
Cranium was the band that gave him the opportunity that he was always looking for and it helped him in playing drums to a whole new level as he tried his hands in sound engineering too,”

Breakthrough in Demonic Resurrection proved to be a stepping stone for Kaith as he later went out to perform at coveted internationals fests, like Sonisphere (UK), Wacken Open Air (Germany), Bloodstock Open Air (UK), Lest-Fest (Scotland) and Metaldays (Slovenia).
He even got a chance to work with famous bands like Sparsh, Scribe and the Mihir Joshi Band and has been associated with Bollywood names like Neeti Mohan, Arjun Kanungo, Ash King and Mahalakshmi Iyer for various projects.

Kaith is an inspiration for everyone who is stuck in 9 to 5 Job and is looking out for passion to follow but don’t have the balls to do so. His story inspires every single amateur individual to turn their passion into their paychecks.
