                                                                   Assam, India, where my love for performance first took
                                                                   root.  In  2023,  I  made  a  bold  leap,  moving  to  Los
                                                                   Angeles,  California,  to  expand  my  career  in  acting
                                                                   and  music.  Since  then,  the  journey  has  been  a
                                                                   whirlwind of creativity, growth, and transformation.
                                                                   Graduating  from  the  New  York  Film  Academy  in  Los

                                                                   beginning. I’ve since had the privilege of working on a
                                                                   wide range of projects from short films and TV shows
                                                                   to commercials and feature films. Each role has been
                                                                   a new world to explore, and a new layer of myself to
                                                                   uncover. I’m thrilled to be part of Gunsmart Nation, an
                                                                   upcoming  television  series  based  on  the  book  by
                  I’m  immersed  in  a  powerful  documentary      Dwight  B.  Bradford,  where  I  play  a  vital  supporting
                  feature film, currently in post-production       role.  It’s  set  to  stream  on  a  major  platform,  and  I’m
                                                                   excited to bring this powerful story to life.

                  Beyond  the  camera,  music  has  always  been  my  soul’s
                  expression. Under the stage name Synicah, I made my musical
                  debut in 2018 with my single Scars. Since then, my sound has
                  evolved,  weaving  together  my  roots  and  my  vision.  I  gained
                  wide  recognition  after  performing  the  title  track  for  the
                  Assamese  blockbuster  film  Ratnakar,  followed  by  more
                  original singles like Warrior, IDC, Rollercoaster, and Sassy. I’ve
                  also  had  the  opportunity  to  collaborate  on  songs  like
                  Nayana,  Emuthi  Xopun,  Ei  Prithibi,  and  Sorsa,  which  were  all
                  creatively fulfilling experiences. Watching my music connect
                  with listeners, especially seeing one of the music videos I was
                  part of cross 105 million views, reminds me why I create.

                  My musical journey has also included writing and performing
                  for  major  Assamese  films  like  Dr.  Bezbaruah  2  and  Joddha,
                  blending my love for songwriting and singing with cinematic
                  storytelling. Whether it’s composing a melody, writing lyrics, or
                  performing  in  music  videos,  I  find  joy  in  every  beat,  every
                  note.
                   To date, I’ve worked on several short films and commercials.
                   I’ve appeared in multiple music videos and contributed vocals
                   to  Assamese  feature  films.  These  opportunities  have  pushed
                   me artistically and expanded my understanding of the craft.
                   A major milestone in my artistic journey came in 2025 when I
                   was invited to be a part of the prestigious Crunchyroll Anime
                   Awards  as  a  live  Hindi  dubbing  artist.  It  was  an  electrifying
                   experience, one that allowed me to bridge cultures through
                   voice and storytelling on an international stage.
