About Custom Songwriting & Composition
What I Do
I turn stories into music. Whether it’s a huge rock anthem or a quiet piano moment, I build songs from scratch, starting with just a feeling or an idea. Sometimes it’s dramatic pop, sometimes it’s bare acoustic - always real.
Your Story, Your Song
If you want a song that’s all about your story, I’m here for it. Maybe you’re looking for a bespoke anniversary song, or something special for a birthday. We’ll chat about your vibe, your emotions, and the details you want to capture. I’ll take those pieces and shape them into a track that’s personal and honest.
How We Collaborate
- You tell me your story or what you want to say
- I write the lyrics and melody, keeping your input close
- I work with my producer in the studio to polish the track
- Remote collab is cool too - I’ve worked with artists in India and Australia, so distance isn’t a problem
My Style
I lean into emotional storytelling through music, with gritty, introspective lyrics and themes about resilience. You’ll get a mix of dramatic pop, anthemic rock, or delicate acoustic vibes depending on your mood.
My Journey
I started young - first EP at 14, and since then, over 60 songs in one year for a project. My work’s been picked up by Rolling Stone India, BBC Sounds, and I’m still here, loving every minute. Music is home for me.

My Story
Alright, here goes nothing. I’m Tanya, 19, Bangalore girl, singer-songwriter, bit of a bookworm too. My guru Richard’s been my anchor for ages. Music’s kinda my diary - I write about messy love, second choices, and all the wild stuff online. My EP ‘Cyberfantasy’ got a shoutout in Rolling Stone, which still blows my mind. Off-stage, you’ll catch me buried in Sylvia Plath or Voltaire. On stage? I let loose, but it’s all heart.
My Work
Live Music for Any Event - I perform solo with my keyboard, as a duet, or with my band for high-energy shows.
Dramatic Pop & Modern Relationship Songs - My tracks dive into online love and social media, with a dramatic pop music style.
Original Event Songwriting - I can write and perform custom songs, making your event extra personal.
Raw Acoustic Sets or Full Band - Want something chill? I do acoustic solo sets. Want a party? My band brings the energy.
Gigs I Love - Music festivals, college fests, private events needing a fresh, honest vibe.
