Securing the second place in the sixth edition of the singing reality show Indian Idol encouraged Poorvi Koutish to shift base to Mumbai to pursue her music ambitions.

"I had a knack for Broadway musical singing, but there were few courses available on the subject [in the city]. That's when I learnt of [AR] Rahman sir's college, and enrolled in it," says the singer, who has rendered the track Jwalamukhi, in the maestro's upcoming production, 99 Songs.
