Acoustic Covers and Custom Song Renditions
I love stripping songs back to their core. Whether it's a cover to set a mood or a custom track for a special moment, let's make something honest together.
Here is my acoustic cover of the song "Human" by Dodie. I love her intricate melodies and honest lyrics, and I tried to capture that same delicate feeling in this simple guitar and vocal performance.
This is my take on the Elvis Presley classic "Don't Be Cruel." I created a multi-layered arrangement with backing vocals and acoustic guitar to give it a unique, modern singer-songwriter feel.
I love Christmas music, and this is my a cappella version of "Carol of the Bells." Creating harmonies with just my voice is a fun challenge and shows how I can build a full sound without instruments.
About Acoustic Covers & Renditions
When I cover a song, I don't just try to replicate the original track. I spend time finding the right arrangement for my acoustic guitar or ukulele, layering vocals, and getting that intimate, raw sound I love. It is a bit of a process, but hearing a track come together from just a few voice memos to a finished piece is my favorite part of the work.
Every cover you see here, from the intricate melodies of Dodie's 'Human' to my a cappella take on 'Carol of the Bells', represents my approach to music. I record everything in my little home studio, usually with just my condenser mic and a guitar.
I treat every cover as a technical challenge. For songs with complex harmonies, I record, stack, and mix my own vocals to get that full, choral effect without needing a big studio. This is the same process I use when creating custom songs for you. If you like the 'vibe' of these renditions, I can bring that same stripped-back, indie-folk texture to your personal project.
Whether you need a birthday gift, a surprise for an anniversary, or a unique track for a short film, my goal is to capture the small, real details of your story. I handle the writing, the guitar or ukulele instrumentation, and all the final mixing in my Mumbai studio. If you have a song idea in mind, Aajao (come on over), let's make it happen.

I’m Ryan. I quit my desk job to follow music, and honestly, I’m still the guy who gets awkward at parties. But when I’m in my home studio with a guitar, I feel right at home.
