As an introvert, music was the vehicle that allowed me to fully express my emotions and thoughts. It was my first love, the only thing that understood me during times of pain.
It was the only place where I could be my true self without masking any part of who I was...
…there is so much duality in my music and my personality: masculine/feminine, light/dark, modern/traditional. It showcases everything I am without ignoring or erasing my identity.
The core message of my music and brand channels, both musically and philosophically, is about unity through diversity.
It is 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 beats the feeling I get after I've finished composing a song. I get such 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.
