Always True
Six years into living in NYC, I experienced the city's vibrant tapestry juxtaposed with the demanding pace and daily grind, occasionally leaving me feeling depleted. This was the truth of my experience. In the vibrant chaos of the city, home became a sanctuary in my partner's embrace, where we cherished moments of togetherness amidst the city's intensity, allowing us to reset and recharge. This contrast between the city’s energy and the calm refuge of love was yet another beautiful truth of my experience. This was the genesis of 'Always True'.
"Holy" (Justin Bieber) with Indian Notes
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.
I'll Be There for You
The Friends theme songwas stuck in my head so I jammed out to it with some South Asian flavor.
All I Want For Christmas is You (with Indian Notes)

Man Mohini
When A.R. Rahman put a simple four chord progression over Raga Bhimpalasi for a song in the film Yuvvraaj, I was immediately entranced.
Ramaiya Vastavaiya
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.
Come Dance. Aaja Nachle.
This song has been a staple Desi party number since college and almost every Indian wedding this century.
