From plumber to musician

Nolan, who was a musician at heart, was stuck in a dull, boring, and unfulfilling job until his fortunes changed in 2016. A friend of his reached out to Nolan asking him if he knew any guitarist for a band he was forming. Nolan, who is a singer and guitarist, said he would love to do it, and that was it.

Impressed by a promo video they shot, they landed their first gig on a ferry in 2016, and there was no looking back.

Travelling the world

In the eight years since he quit his job to become a musician, Nolan has been to countries like Australia, Iceland, Canada, Greece, Italy, New Zealand, and more on cruise ships while making as much as Rs 3.5 lakhs every month.
