In this cover of “Holy” by Justin Bieber, I sing the main melodies with Indian notes articulated with the nuances of Hindustani music, layered with improvised slow and rapid vocals based on Ragas Pahadi, Bihag, and Bhoopali. The result is something that felt magical as I laid down the tracks and I hope you feel the same as you listen to it.

The Friends theme songwas stuck in my head so I jammed out to it with some South Asian flavor.

Sharing the new opening theme I composed for Holy BatCast: The All Batman Podcast. It is an homage to the music of the Batman throughout his various appearances in media, connected by the various musical themes that represent the character.

The joy of the holidays isn’t yet over. It’s been quite a year and here’s to 2021.

When A.R. Rahman put a simple four chord progression over Raga Bhimpalasi for a song in the film Yuvvraaj, I was immediately entranced.

My cover song video of the classic Hindi song Ramaiya Vastavaiya aims to show that no matter who we are, what our background is, or what our situation is, we can all come together and delight in the joy of music and dance.

This song has been a staple Desi party number since college and almost every Indian wedding this century.

Whatever your situation is as we are all navigating this new reality of a global pandemic, if you need a short break from it all then I hope this new mashup video brings some delight.g

In December 2019 I sang at the Brooklyn Raga Massive with saxophonist and composer Aakash Mittal, drummer Alex Ritz, guitarist Todd Neufeld, and vocalist Shurmi Dhar, performing original pieces composed by Aakash for his Awaz Trio.

Last weekend I caught the Broadway musical Jersey Boys, the story of the rise of the the rock and pop band known as the Four Seasons. The top notch vocals you expect from a Broadway show kept me highly engaged and every time one song ended I couldn’t wait for the next. Then I heard the line “You’re just too good to be true…”

Yesterday I caught a performance of an off-broadway play called Romeo and Bernadette, a twist on Shakespeare’s classic Romeo and Juliette. The performances were excellent, as was the music, which drew upon many Italian classic melodies. It inspired me to pull this work out of my archives and share here again, one of my remixes of an old Bollywood song that itself was inspired by a classic Italian tune, the Tarantella Napoletana. 

Share my version of one of the most popular New Year’s Eve songs in the English-speaking world, “Auld Lang Syne”, with an Indian lens. Wishing you all a joyous and prosperous year ahead. Happy New Year.

My original song, “Fortune Teller”, is inspired by the history of the resilient Romani people as a humble tribute to their experience and to the experience of all migrants today who are searching of a place to call home in the face of oppression.

Creating this piece was an intensely emotional experience, as I delved into the experiences of people fighting for important human values. From the power of historical footage, to the familiar anthems of resistance in “We Shall Overcome” and “Raghupati Raghav Rajaram”, to my poetry in rap form, this composition is my humble attempt at building bridges between people of different cultures, finding common ground between their struggles, thereby highlighting a worldview of intersectionality.

One month ago, I came across an old VHS recording of my 9-year-old self, playing the Hindi song, “Mujhe Neend Na Aye” on the keyboard and was immediately inspired to make a modern cover track.

This piece brings together two hymns from two faiths, Hinduism and Christianity: Jai Jagdish Hare and Amazing Grace.
