Udupi, Dec 18: Coastal Karnataka’s popular 'Grace Band' has released a new Kannada album song ‘Christmas Banthu, Harusha Thantu’ on December 15.

The song is composed by Keneth Jeremiya Phinehas, who is born and brought up in Udupi. He started playing music at the age of 10 and started playing for the audience with stage performances at various church programmes and other Christian events from the age of 14.

Keneth wanted to be a great musician and in his initial years, he joined secular bands. However in 2011, he started his own band and named it ‘Grace Band’. One day, Keneth had a realization that his talents are God’s gift and since then he dedicated his band to propagate God’s word. 

Christmas is a season of joy and cheer, when families and friends meet. “The exchange of gifts and wishes is what makes this season special. This year, I have gifted everyone a special Christmas song called ‘Christmas Banthu, Harsha Thanthu’,” he tells Daijworld.com

“Many people have given me positive reviews and I am happy that this song is included while performing Christmas dances and is a part of the Christmas choir,” he said.
