Vijitha Ameresekere Vijitha Ameresekere’s musical interest began at the early age of 7 when he would listen to his mother and sisters play the piano. He maintained his musical interest throughout college when he would play music for his classmates like Paul Fernando. He followed on to perform in two bands called ‘Selections’ and ‘Universe’ backing numerous artists and playing in a variety of stage shows in Sri–Lanka.

He then followed onto work as a Mechanical Engineer at the Sri-Lankan Steel Corporation for a period of 11 years. Vijitha migrated to Australia in 1988 with his wife, son and daughter. In Australia, his musical competency was established by performing solo for small house party entertainment. In 1988, he joined the Sri-Lankan band: ‘Dinkum Lankans’ as the keyboard player. Later, the ever popular ‘Blossoms’ was formed. Vijitha has lead the lively active band for the past 15 years, who have performed all over Australia, including the Centre Point in Sydney as well as The Mirage in Adelaide for the Cricketer’s Dance.
