Narrative | 2021
Coming from an Indian background, he had to face a lot of rejection and work that much harder to break into the Western music scene. But he wouldn’t trade his experiences and hardships for anything. That’s why he decided to create a Mindset Collection to talk to people about his roots in Bollywood music, some crucial lessons he learned during his time at Berklee College, how he dealt with bullying and hate, and much more.
