The credit to the conception of this title and band goes to guru(Guruprasad). He is our leader, composer and lyricist... This avatar of the band was formed for a competition 1 year back with guru's initiative of getting together a band that can produce good music and explore different genres... Describing guru and his attitude when composing, he is never bogged down by boundaries that people set for themselves... He doesnt fall into raga traps nor does he compose to get complexity into music... He composes with one criteria in mind and that is to make the song sound good... The Band name characterizes that Victory comes in three ways(Not the three lead singers)... Our three lead singers each have a different aspect worth appreciating.. When it comes to Guru himself its a melodious voice that can be soothing in recording but too soft on stage... Whereas Aruna(the senior most member of our band... AGE UNDISCLOSED) has a strong carnatic background and hence a better control of her swaras and sruthi... She can be versatile in rendering western elements as well as harmonies... Coming to our own Energy packed Singer(Cum Dancer cause he dances on stage when he is really into the song), he has a powerful voice(no other way to describe the way he sang "ULLASA ULAGAM") and getting the rock grating or the high pitch melodies is his style... I mentioned the word lead singers because we have a background or harmony singer who is also our Keyboardist Nivas Prasanna... This guy is 18 and packs all the enthu and excited craziness that comes due to his girl deprived times in our band(He wishes we have a good looking girl of his age in our band.. poor fellow.. hehe...).. But seriously this guy packs the experience and knowledge of people older than him in music... Though lacks certain qualities such as patience and fails to be calm at times... he is a real asset to our band in creating our brand of music as he has never failed to impress the music biggies(INCLUDING ARR) with his tone selection qualities...
