Soulmate manager Keith Wallang said, “This event will go a long way in exposing the students to professional platforms. Soulmate is looking forward to be part of it.” The event is supported by the Indian Council for Cultural Relations, Casio, Yamaha- Melody and Shillong Society for the Performing Arts.
