Early life and career
Varun Unni was born on 15 July, 1989 in Kochi, Kerala. He did his schooling at Chinmaya Vidyalaya, Vuduthala in Kochi and went on to graduate from engineering at Adi Shankara College of Engineering, Kalady.
Although devoid of any background in films, Varun's first priority was always music. Varun was trained from Kalabhavan and worked with bands like Highway Haze and Flying Squad during his younger years. He lists Bob Marley and Eric Clapton among his greatest inspirations.
