A question I get asked often in interviews is what I like to do besides music. I always say that I read (not a lie, I do read but the attention has def gone way down in the last few years), watch films (admittedly, I normally re-watch films I love. Re-watched Iruvar the other day), and sketch (been a minute since I’ve done this). I went through my camera roll today and realised for better or worse it’s 90% singing/music, 7% videos/pictures of the sky and 3% random notes I jot down and screenshot.
Oh, Hyderabad see y’all on Saturday

Hyderabad, you hold a special place in my heart. Big big big love.
Put the work to work. Internalising new experiences and integrating them into the foundation, building on that.
I realised when I was in and out of sleep on the plane back to chennai this morning that some of the truest emotions are felt on stage. It’s pretty wild how performing a song can jolt a quick lighting bolt of a feeling from your core and out through your body. Anything from regret to warmth to grit, and infinitely more.
These are some of my favourite moments from last night. Also happy Father’s Day to all the dads. My dad is the dopest I know.

I always think to post something for world music day but end up forgetting. I was in the car today and @arrahman Sir’s Bombay Theme came up on shuffle and floored me the same way it does every time I hear it. The song hasn’t left my head since. I think the world is filled with various manifestations of magic, divinity, and wonder. Music is definitely one of the most powerful manifestations. The way a melody can change your day or break you down completely, it’s profound. One of my favourite aspects of music is the idea of reinterpretation. I remember when I was in junior high and I heard Coltrane’s version of My Favourite Things for the first time and it felt like a portal into a new universe opened up for me. To a 13 year old me, the idea that this jazz giant would take a song from Sound of Music and give it his own twist was so dope. I felt the same way when I heard Andre 3k do his own version of that same song on his album The Love Below.
It’s a whole, infinite sonic ocean with boundless scope and possibilities. to get to just experience the grandeur of music in all of its diverse glory is the most beautiful thing ever. The spark that I felt very palpably in the car earlier today while listening to a masterpiece reminded me that time can stand still.
All love
Uninvited// This Alanis Morissette (@alanis) song came up on shuffle the other day. Shout out the 90’s

More Beauty • @seantrcy (happy birthday dude!) and I wrote this melody/lyric 9 years ago almost to the date. In 2013, I’d made an instrumental sampling a piece called “Phone Calls” from Jon Brion’s incredible score for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind. I used to have that film running in the background a lot around that time, and was also constantly listening to @jayelectronica’s incredible, pathbreaking piece where he lays down some of the most profound hip hop poetry over a chop of the same film score piece. Sean and I were flipping thru ideas, I pulled up this instrumental and we wrote to it. When listening to this “Phone Calls” today, I remembered the melody and lyrics from 9 years ago
Stealing looks into the car next to mine
See a kid laughing uncontrollably
Love is simple, I know Love is simple
Skin taut in youth, chewed out around my finger tips
In my sleep I see sadness dissipate, wake up in tears of joy
Precipitation is a letting go and a transformation
Clouds dissolve and leave behind clarity, a parting gift
What does your heart hold on to and why? What if you let it all go, what would your soul feel? Would it feel light, would it feel empty?
Do you still dance boundlessly? like the wind has possessed you, breathing freedom into every molecule of your existence. Do you still dance?
Stealing looks into the car next to mine
See a kid laughing uncontrollably
Love is simple, I know it is
Love is simple, I know
