Vikram Singh
engineer and Musician in Athens, Georgia
I'm Vikram Singh, a 4th year Biomedical Engineering student at the University of Georgia. I'm also a long time musician and have played the drums for 11 years. I started off wanting to play the guitar in my school band but when they didn't offer that as an option, I figured drums would be the next best thing. Little did I know that it would become the most fun hobby I've ever taken up. After a few years of playing, a game called "Rock Band" came out that simulated playing a real drum set, and me and my family always used to competitively play. In order to be the best player in my family, I started practicing the game more, and interestingly enough, I became the globally ranked world's best player of Rock Band 2 years later. I never saw it coming! Eventually I started uploading youtube videos of me flawlessly playing the hardest songs in the game and by the time I had stopped, I had roughly 2.5 million views on all my videos combined. All of my real drum experience helped massively when working my way to being #1, and it was amazing to truly master such a popular game based on my real drum skills. I guess its good that my school didn't offer the guitar as an instrument in the band!
