My name is Nishka Viswanathan and I am 16 years old. I have been playing the piano since I was 6 and love the instrument. Throughout my musical journey, I have grown both as a person and musician and have learned how hard work and perseverance truly has an impact. I want to continue to enhance my skills as a pianist and share my love of music with others.
