About Me

Asthmo is no more. A very big thank you to all those who have supported us over the past few years. When Vivek passed away Rory and myself decided it would be best to leave Asthmo with Vivek. Asthmo will never be the same without him. He was truely the most talented individual I have ever had the pleasure of working with. His passion was music, and so even after death, we can remember him through his music. I will be putting up songs of Vivek, as well as songs he did with the band. This page will be a memorial too him, if only we could do more. I miss him. Vivek will live in forever in our hearts.
However, music is in my blood, and in Rory's as well. We recruited a keyboardist and a new drummer and formed a new band. We are called The Nuclear Children
