Where my engineer girlies at?
Something that’s always bothered me about the music industry is the lack of encouragement for women in technical work. Few women seem to receive support to learn mixing and mastering music. In almost every studio setting I’ve been in, it’s generally a guy doing this type of work. I haven’t…

Soaking in the sunshine in November
I’m sitting in the sun as I type this. It’s November 7th, 2025. God, I love the sun. Living in LA, you’d think I’d get more of it, but I’ll admit that I schedule in “sun time” on certain days. I’m not going to lie, after several peaceful months, the…

New Music Video: “Liberation” [!!]
Liberation is my first song featuring my native language, Bengali. Through this song, I discuss the repetitive nature of war and conflict throughout history through the lens of the Bangladesh Liberation War of ’71. My song conveys and how violence and trauma impact generation after generation. But, it also conveys…

Nivessa Records: First show of 2025! And a surprise announcement…
I wrapped my first performance of 2025 at Nivessa Records on Hollywood Boulevard. Even though I’ve been living in LA for over 9 years now, I don’t usually visit the boulevard — usually I’ve found it to to too busy with tourists for my liking. Last time I went was…

2024: A helluva year
Wow. This year was just…I really don’t have the words. I’ll try, though: Beautiful. Surreal. Levitative. Mind-blowing. Devastating. Traumatic. Grounding. Humbling. Terrifying. Depressing. Restorative. Joyful. Self-reflective. Full of love – so full of love. Uplifting. And most of all, life-changing. I thought 2023 was going to be one for the…

An Unprecedented Summer, cont.: Amader (“Ours” in Bengali)
Between you and me, I had a tough first half of the summer. I decided I needed to spend time with family for a while (and a trip was long overdue), to get some fresh New England air and home-cooked eats and — most importantly — clarity and peace of…

Still feels like summer…
09.01: It’s a significant day to me. And I’ve had a lot to reflect on this past summer. But, summer’s technically still in session, no? So I guess it’s more a day-to-day reflection process regardless. I know I haven’t posted in a few weeks. BUT. I have good reasons, I…
