o, I wrote a song called “April” & it was somehow a very fulfilling
Sexperience. I wrote this based on a dating episode that took place in
summer of 2017. At that time I couldn’t think about anything but that
brand new connection I discovered. It was on my mind playing in a loop
24*7. Figuring out every little bit of what I experienced. The starting of
that relationship was all kinds of fun. And that was how “April” was born.
Everything about it felt so right as if it was the only thing that defined
me in that moment. It was like a standout split second fraction of my life
where I experienced a hundred different emotions yet all of them led me
to the same place.

I started writing about it while I was in the middle of that relationship. It
came to me as a storyline of everything I felt & we experienced during that
time period & I wished to just play it for them alone. But it never
happened, however I played it for the rest of the world & that was
gratifying.

I was only 13 when I first gravitated towards becoming a musician. I used
to listen to my favourite artists & pretended I was singing in a concert in
my room. The inspiration expanded with time & as I turned 16 I started
writing songs.

I wrote a few songs & posted them online using a free beat piano
composition anonymously & it somehow gathered a lot of positive
response which was the validation I needed.

I grew up listening to Chris Martin(from Coldplay), Linkin Park, Taylor
Swift, Pink Flyod, Ed Sheeran, etc & was so pleased to watch them
perform live that I wished doing it myself, constantly.

So, I moved to the capital city, bought a guitar & started performing on
open mic events. It was a wonderful learning experience for me. I did both
cover songs & originals. But I persistently wanted more. I was writing
almost everyday. And spending time online finding a producer to help me
complete my songs. It was around this time that I met a producer named
Prateek SenGupta who helped me produce my first 2 tracks called “April”
& “Summer Rhythm”. We waited until this summer to finally release them.
There is something so satisfying about this dream but at the same time I
wish to grow on this never ending journey while it has just begun.
