A melody that does the aching for you.
The debut EP — songs carried from a decade of bands into a solo voice.
The latest release — for everything a melody says that words can't.
A collaboration about the places — and people — we call home.

Oct 10, 2026A piano and vocal cover of Euphoria's Maaeri, and a small thank you to the era that made Hindi pop feel like it belonged to us.
