About Artist
Hello guys! I am Kumar Shivam, a Hindi poet. In the time when English is a sign of class and literacy, I prefer Hindi to pen down my thoughts and bring it to you guys. It all started in the city of dreams, 'Bombay'. In the year 2016 during my graduation as I was the cultural head of my college events and engrossed in the events I never realized that I could write. But sudden realisations bring to you the best discoveries, this was true in my case. In one of the events, we needed script in the end moment and I had to take up the responsibility. So as I drafted this last minute piece, my journey began. This is where I started writing. Not very sure of whether I could perform or not, I gathered all my courage and performed at the Onenest for the first time.This was another feather to the cap as I performed the poetry on my state, Bihar. Next, I performed at Habitat and I never looked back. I was performing with people I used to listen to and follow. This is where I met Mr Swaraj Singh who motivated at my every step and guided me like an older brother. So as I progressed in my personal life I wanted to give back to my city Ranchi, so I attempted to bring the Open Mic Culture here in the year 2018. Further, we have hosted numerous events at locations like Muzafarpur, Patna, Kolkata and collaborated with institutes like IIT Kharagpur. Moreover, the gradual transition towards events like Kavi Samelan are the basic highlights of my banner Pankh- Hauslon ki Udaan. It feels great to stand here with these achievements as I look forward to fetch more. Well, it wasn't an easy journey to walk through these paths for I had opposition and criticism both but I held my head high and followed Kumar Vishwas, my inspiration.Right from being invited at NUSRL Ranchi as the chief guest for the Kavi Samelan to the duty of Joint Secretary by Hindi Sahitya Parishad, Kolkata the journey continues
