This concert is heavily inspired by, and owes a lot to, and owes a lot to, Black American Music (in all its various iterations).  It’s also meant to represent my own experience as a South-Asian American growing up in the 21st century.  The first two sets are all written by my idols and friends; the last set is written (mostly) by me.

  10.  

    I would like to thank
    my parents
    for supporting my dream of pursuing music as a career path
    and always pushing me to do better. 
     
    my friends
    for encouraging me and humbling me at the same time;
    they have kept me grounded in what has been a very chaotic but insightful 4 years. 

    all of my teachers,
    whose perspective and wisdom     has allowed me to discover what I’m truly capable of.
