Behind the Scenes: Music Videos and Studio Sessions
Music videos look polished, but the reality involves bathroom sets, neon lights, and lots of laughing through takes. Here is the real process behind the tracks.

About Behind The Scenes
We shot the 'Cyberfantasy' video in a bathroom under neon lights, not a fancy studio. It was chaotic, but that is how we capture a vibe that feels real and raw, whether it is a music video or your own custom song.
You see the final cut, but the work happens in the messy bits. For the 'Cyberfantasy' video, my team and I turned a bathroom into a set because the neon lights fit the track perfectly. When we shot the 'Phoenix' visuals, we focused on clean, punchy aesthetics to match the rock energy.
This is how I work with every project, including the songs I write for clients. Whether we are in my home studio in Jayamahal or filming on a rooftop, the goal is always to make the final product reflect the specific story you want to tell. It takes a solid team, like my producer Richard or my videographer Armaan, to turn a rough idea into something that lands on streaming platforms. When you commission a track with me, you are getting this same level of commitment, from the initial lyric brainstorming to the final mixing and mastering stages.
