Original Music Composition & EP Production
From gritty dramatic pop to raw acoustic ballads, this is where my sonic diary lives. Whether you need a custom song for a special event or a collaborator for your own sound, this is how I turn stories into songs.
The official release video for my single "Phoenix." This song is about resilience and overcoming obstacles, and we used powerful AI-generated visuals of a phoenix rising to bring the metaphor to life.
The lyric video for "Phoenix," created with stunning AI-generated art. This video lets you dive deep into the words behind this rock anthem of empowerment and strength.
The last chorus of "Phoenix" always gets me super pumped. It's the climax of a song about finding your own strength, and I love performing it with this much energy.
The official artwork for my EP, "Cyberfantasy." This project explores our lives online, and the art reflects the digital, futuristic theme of the music.
A teaser for the "Cyberfantasy" music video. We used a cool, neon-lit location to create a retro-futuristic vibe that matches the song's dramatic pop sound.
The official music video for "What Lies Beneath." This song is about deep self-reflection, and we filmed this on location, using the water to symbolize confronting hidden truths.
A short, atmospheric teaser for the "What Lies Beneath" music video. The drone footage captures the vast, introspective mood of the song and the EP.
This is the AI-generated music video for my song "Innocent Girl." The song is about the loss of innocence, and we used AI to create a dreamlike, nostalgic visual story that complements the acoustic ballad.
The official announcement for the "Innocent Girl" AI video. This clip gives a glimpse of the visual style and the emotional core of the song.
An acapella version of "Innocent Girl." Stripping the song down to just vocals highlights the harmonies and the raw emotion in the lyrics about growing up.
About My Original Music & EPs
When we start a custom song commission, we don't just jump into the studio. We kick things off with a 30-minute virtual session to map out your story, specific memories, and the mood you are chasing. This helps me get the lyrics and melody right the first time, whether we are going for a tear-jerker acoustic ballad or an upbeat indie-pop anthem.
How We Build Your Song
My approach to songwriting is simple: it starts with what you have to say. Whether you are coming to me with a rough idea for a wedding gift, a birthday anthem, or you are an artist needing a topline for a commercial release, we work in stages to make sure the final track sounds exactly how you imagined it.
- Concept & Chat: We define the vibe. If you have a backing track or just a piano melody in your head, we figure out the direction first.
- Lyrics & Melody: I write the verse-chorus structure based on your narrative. I love keeping the lyrics honest and introspective, avoiding clichés so the song actually means something to you.
- Production & Polish: I work out of my studio in Jayamahal, Bangalore, but I am fully set up for remote collaboration. I have worked with artists as far away as Australia, so distance is never a barrier to getting the sound right.
Choosing Your Package
I offer three distinct ways to work together depending on your goals:
- Acoustic Commission: Best for personal gifts. It’s just me, my voice, and a piano or guitar. Raw, intimate, and meaningful.
- Commercial Topline: If you are a producer with a track that needs vocals and lyrics, I can provide the melody, vocal stems, and everything you need for a streaming release.
- Radio-Ready Production: This is the full package. We bring in session musicians for drums, bass, and keys, and I handle the end-to-end production, mixing, and mastering to make sure it’s ready for Spotify or Apple Music.
If you have heard my EPs like 'Cyberfantasy' or 'Phoenix', you know I like to experiment with sound. I am always happy to dive into different genres, whether you want something heavy or something delicate.
