3 words to describe you:
Hard working idiot

Describe your sound:
Modular synths and electronic production, mixed with pianos and string ensembles. A bit classical, a bit electronic, a bit sad, a bit angry, a bit hopeful. 

Tell us about you early music memories and when you knew you wanted to pursue music:
I was lucky that I had parents who recognised the importance of music in life. They encouraged, if not the pursuit of it as a career, then at least the pursuit of it as a valuable pasttime. Music was just always the thing I wanted to be doing, and the thing I found myself doing more and more as I grew up. The more autonomy I had over my own life, the more time I would spend making music. Now I'm lucky enough to get to do it all the time - for work, for fun, for money, for relaxation.

How does your heritage impact your art?
I have such a specific heritage (I am Bangladeshi/Indian/Irish/English, and was born and brought up in Wales), that it affects and impacts everything I do and everything I am. I grew up in a small Welsh town where there weren't that many brown faces at all. Now I live in London where there are lots, but being mixed in the way I am, I never felt entirely comfortable aligning myself with any group. I think everything I make, art-wise, is a response to that in some way. An attempt to carve out my own particular niche - one that acknowledges my individual constituent parts, but also acknowledges that I am something slightly 'other' as well.

What moment are you most proud of in your music journey so far?
I've been lucky enough to have a few - playing to 15,000 people at the Royal Arena in Copenhagen, being an onstage musician for a run of shows at The Globe, playing the Royal Albert Hall, The Southbank Centre, generally just travelling all over the world to play music, and working with some absolutely incredible musicians along the way.

Your next music goal:
I'm going to release a new album in November, so my goal at the moment is just to get that out to as many people as possible and then tour it as much as possible next year. And also score a horror film.

If you could collaborate with anyone, who and why?
Yorgos Lanthimos or Ari Aster - filmmakers who are doing something incredibly niche and peculiar, but somehow with wide appeal. I'd love to work with some incredible visual artists and see what we could do together.

A song that has shaped you:
There are so many. I remember hearing Radiohead's Paranoid Android for the first time and being blown away, or twitching to My Red Hot Car by Squarepusher, but I think that the Björk song Jóga might have had a massive impact on me and the music I wanted to make. The strings, the distorted beats, the melodies. When I listen to it now, I can hear it's influence on me.

3 songs you're listening to right now:
Clipping - Keep Pushing
Bill Evans - Medley: 'Spartacus' Love Theme/Nardis
Reid Willis - Conveyor

Your community shout out:
Sheherazaad - a bit of a cheat maybe, because I play for her and work with her, but over the last couple of years, she has not only opened me up to new music and new music cultures, but really helped me engage with my own. 

Anything else you'd like to share:
My new album 'Blood Songs' (an album all about my experiences as a mixed race brown man living in the UK) is out on November 13th, with lead single 'This Is What British Looks Like' dropping on September 18th.
