Looks like there's still hope for budding musicians who're still to get an opportunity to showcase their talents....
It is surely a great news for budding musicians. I think people like Jim Deka should get more focus.
Jim, definitely has been a talent. I have visited him and his school personally; and persona and the vibe exhibited there show the dedication of a devoted musician. Wish him all the best for his future endeavors.
This is a good news for Assam. Assamese musicians are well known everywhere. But respect is another thing. Best of luck Jim. We should be proud of you.
