Singer Su Vi, who first shot to limelight with her chartbuster Kodana Kodi… in Venkat Prabhu’s Saroja, seems to have done the country proud. The singer has just won the first place in a music competition and with it a Full Ride scholarship to study music at the prestigious Musicians Institute in the US.
“There is intense competition to get into the Institute as people from around the world apply to the institute for admission. I was looking to get the Full Ride scholarship. Those applying for the scholarship had to post their music videos on the net. Based on the number of votes we received, five finalists were selected. I was one of the five. Of the other four, one was from Estonia, one was from Korea and the other two were from the US itself. Finally, in the finals, we performed in Los Angeles with a band. I came first and have been awarded the scholarship for the two-year programme in the US,” says Su Vi, who is happy that she has made her country proud.
