Master had explored various styles of music from around the world had successfully revolutionized\u00a0 developing a unique style of music the \u201dOpera\u201d music combining Sinhala folk tunes, hindustani, western and other streams of music to make compositions of a unique style adapting them to fit into more precisely to contemporary music. Opera is\u00a0 form of art that relates a story through music and singing sans using microphones used to amplify the voices. Indika had vehemently conveyed that it was her \u2018Guru\u2019\u00a0 Khemadasa who transformed her singing style commenced over three decades ago. Indika had precisely had experimented on her own with Guru\u2019s inimitable style after his demise which had made her so wealthy in vocalizing. Another vital area was philosophy in vocal pedagogy which is the study of art and science of voice instruction used for defining what singing techniques are. \u00a0<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Indika of course had sung many songs before learning the opera style but she had affirmed that it was Guru Khemadasa who made her to be in the position she is now in at the pinnacle of fame.

As was confessed by Guru Khemadasa she too agrees one hundred percent that Sri Lankan music is still in the ancient gone by stone era. She was totally against the formats of the reality shows conducted by many television channels which does more harm than any good. Males\u2019 sings females\u2019 songs and vice versa. listeners are puzzled as to by which gender the songs are sung. Indika this is very uncompromising for injuring the lyrics of the songs which hurt the lyricists.
