He’s got a unique voice that can match Jim Reeves, Elvis, Tom Jones, Engelbert, Neil Diamond, Ricky Van Shelton, and the like.
After two years of travel restrictions and stringent social distancing regulations imposed by governments worldwide owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, Janaka has decided to reach out to his fans on the virtual platform.
