About Me

David Kanagaretnam From Humanitarian Service to Creative and Sustainable Ventures

Hello, I’m David Kanagaretnam. For more than 20 years, I have served as a humanitarian, working to uplift and support communities in need. Alongside this calling, I am a lyricist and gospel songwriter, with my music featured on YouTube, sharing messages of hope and faith.

Finally,I am stepping into new ventures that reflect my passion for both creativity and sustainability. I am developing projects in millet farming and dairy production, while also pursuing my long-held dream of producing films.

My journey is about weaving together service, music, and storytelling—celebrating culture, nurturing livelihoods, and inspiring communities through art and innovation.

The Harmony of Farming, Music, and Film

Millet farming, music, and filmmaking may seem worlds apart, yet they share deep roots in culture and creativity. Millet, an ancient grain, symbolizes resilience and sustainability, offering nutritious food while reviving indigenous farming traditions. Music, with its rhythms and melodies, carries the heartbeat of communities, expressing stories of faith, struggle, and joy.

Film, as a powerful medium, captures these experiences, weaving visuals and voices into narratives that inspire and connect people.

Together, these three fields form a tapestry where agriculture nurtures the body, music uplifts the soul, and film preserves and shares stories for generations to come.
