Hi, Music Lovers, this is about Deepa Hettige. She lives in Canada. She Studied in Sri-Lanka, and obtained an LL.B degree in 1980 and Attorney at Law Diploma in 1988. Professionally she was a lawyer, but she always wanted to build up the talents she got from her father Mr. Cyril Hettige.
She improved classical music under Visharada Nanda Malani. She also has a born talent for dance and drama. She has followed workshops organized by Damma Jagoda (stage drama director) and Parakkrama Niriella (Professional film and tele-drama director).
She started working in the SLBC as a P.P.A (Assistant program Producer), as a Producer, and as an announcer for more than 10 years. Also, she participated in more than 100 programs as a “Jana-gee”, “Paddya gayana”, and a radio-drama artist. In addition, she has passed “Sarala-gee” audition in Broad Casting Corporation in 1993.
Her first ten songs were recorded in 1993 and she published them in a CD named “RAN SAMANALA”.
She would like to thank her parents (Mr. Cyril Hettige And Mrs. Prema Hettige), Mr. Edward Jayakody, Mr. Indrawansa Perera, Visharada Nanda Malani, and Sunil Jayasiri.
