Wellington man goes viral after 'putting himself out there' on Facebook with singing video

A community worker from Wellington has gone viral after he posted a video of himself singing on the public Facebook page Vic Deals.

Ganesh Narnepati uploaded the video of himself singing Ciao Adios by British pop singer Anne-Marie on Friday, getting a huge reaction.

The video accumulated more than 1400 likes, 1000 comments and 38 shares and has received a mostly positive response.

"Lots of people appreciate the video, and some people say I need more practice," Narnepati laughed.

"Some people have given me tips about pitch and sound. There are so many positive comments," he told Newshub.

Narnepati, originally from south India, says singing and acting are his biggest passions.

"I am very passionate about singing and acting, and I sing by myself whenever I have spare time," Narnepati told Newshub.

Narnepati said he wanted to find a way to make a connection through his love of singing.

"I was thinking, how do I put myself out there? I thought maybe I could make a connection - there are so many people on Facebook," he said.

Narnepati told Newshub he wants to do something with his passion for singing and acting, but is looking for the right way to go about it.

"I am looking around for the right place to take classes. I'm looking for the right way to learn," he said.
