My Songwriting & Music Production Process
Ever wonder how a rough thought becomes a released track? Here’s a peek into my Mumbai studio and how I turn raw voice notes into fully produced indie-pop and Hindi songs.
It's amazing to see how a simple voice note recorded in 2021 evolved into the final version of my song 'Forgive'. This is the journey of a song from a raw idea to a fully produced track, showing how even the smallest spark can become something special.
A behind the scenes look at recording ad-libs for 'Pehli Baarish'. The process involves a lot of experimenting, listening back, and refining to get the performance just right. It's this attention to detail that brings a track to life.
Here's a creative challenge where I remade Ed Sheeran's 'Azizam' using only my voice for all the parts. This demonstrates my approach to vocal arrangement and production, creating a full-sounding track without any instruments.
Every song has a story. Here, I talk about the personal experience that inspired my song 'Forgive'. My songwriting process is rooted in turning real feelings and stories into music that connects with people.
Here's a sneak peek of an unreleased track called 'It's Not About You'. I often work on many ideas, constantly writing and producing new music. This is a glimpse into my catalog of songs in development.
What would a collaboration between me and Justin Bieber sound like? This is a fun concept where I imagined him featuring on one of my original songs, showcasing how I can blend different artist styles in my production.
I believe in turning emotions you can't explain into heartfelt songs. This video explains the concept behind my debut EP, 'Means So Much', and how I use songwriting and production to translate feelings into music.

About The Songwriting & Production Process
Every track I work on starts with a voice note or a rough lyric idea. Before we commit to a full production, I spend time with you to map out the chords and the emotional flow, ensuring that the final output sounds like a polished, release-ready version of your original vision.
My creative process isn't about rigid studio rules; it's about translating your specific vibe into a sound that actually works. We begin by stripping back your concept—whether you have full lyrics or just a hummed melody—and determining the best arrangement for your song.
Once we have the structure down, I handle the heavy lifting in my home studio in Mumbai. This includes layering synths, programming drums, and recording guitars to build the track's foundation. The part I enjoy most is the vocal design; I use professional condenser mics to capture the right texture, then handle the pitch correction and FX so your voice sits perfectly in the mix.
I work comfortably with English, Hindi, and Hinglish lyrics. My goal is to get your song to that streaming-ready finish, whether it’s a soulful ballad or an upbeat indie-pop number. You bring the story, and we use my studio setup to make it sound professional without losing the raw emotion.
