Sounds That Stay With Me
MUSIC
Music has always been a background constant in my life. I don’t chase what's trending—I lean into what feels right, what sticks with me. Whether I'm working, walking, or just sitting still, the right song can shift the whole mood of the day. Over time, a few names have become my go-to companions: Bayaan, The Local Train, Diljit Dosanjh, Ustaad Fateh Ali Khan, and Arctic Monkeys.
What I love is how different they all are. Bayaan’s poetic intensity. The Local Train’s storytelling. Diljit’s bold, genre-blending sound. Fateh Ali Khan’s timeless depth. And Arctic Monkeys? Their vibe is unmatched—gritty, reflective, and effortlessly cool. There’s a track in that mix for every state of mind.
The songs I return to don’t just play—they unfold like memories I’ve lived through.
For me, music is tied to moments. A long drive home. A quiet night during a tough week. A random happy memory with no photos—just a song that brings it all back. Some tracks remind me of the best days, others of things I’ve grown through. And that’s what makes music so personal. It lives with you. Quietly, consistently.
These aren’t just artists in a playlist—they’ve shaped my days, my moods, and how I create. It’s not just music. It’s a map of emotions, moments, and versions of myself I’ve met along the way.
