As an introvert, music was the vehicle that allowed me to fully express my emotions and thoughts. It is my first love, the only thing that understood me during times of pain. It showcases everything I am without ignoring or erasing my identity.
The core message is unity through diversity. A clash of East Meets West with textures created from different worlds and the passion, intensity and cinematic arc of Western classical music. My lyrics often focus on interfaith and intercultural relationships, unity, war, and love.
Nothing compares to the feeling I get after I've finished a song. I feel a profound sense of release and connection with my higher self, [and] the satisfaction—after turning something that has been playing in my head over and over again, even haunting my dreams—into something honest, lasting, and hopefully, beautiful.
