Within a short period he was chosen as the head of the choir.

During his period of study he participated in various singing contests and gained great credit. He got through the G.C.E. advance level examination very successfully and was selected to the Quantity Surveying course at the University of Moratuwa. The period that he spent at the University became the inception of his singing career with his University friends encouraging him is develop his talents.
