From Nenjukulle to Aga Naga, each song has been more than a credit - it has been an honour, a lesson, and a quiet reminder of why music is the pursuit of my lifetime in the first place. The lessons I have learned from every session and stage shared with A.R. sir have carried themselves into every song I sing - be it in the studio or on the stage. Boundless love, respect, and gratitude of a lifetime.
Concerts, Sound Garden, workshops, music production, press - or a cool creative project. What do you have in mind?

Songs I have written and composed, and some special collaborations. It's not easy to set these songs free - some bring me comfort, some help me process things, some are cathartic in the making. More like time capsules along my journey. A metabolism of the human condition.
