‘ HYPERREAL’ seems to be more than just an EP— it’ s an entire experience. What inspired you to create such an immersive, theatrical show?
Having been bred in theatre, I’ ve always believed that true experiences are enriched when they engage more than just a single sense. This EP provided the perfect opportunity to explore immersion through space, sound, and visuals. The music is deeply rooted in cinematic influences, and it felt essential to present it in a way that uplifts that very charismatic feature.

Quirks & Queries KAVYA
Your sound has evolved over the years from R & B and electronic to something more cinematic and experimental. What led you to explore this new direction?
Right now, my state of mind is wonderfully open to experimenting with new sounds, plugins, synthesisers, all with the aim of breaking free from my own melodic patterns. This new direction was inspired by a special incident— I was facilitating the first edition of a creative lab, where individuals from diverse industries came together to explore without limits. A shoot with Simone Gandhi, Adhishree P, and Kunj Sharma reminded me just how thrilling it is to embrace the excitement of trying something new. And here we are!
You describe HYPERREAL as a“ highly designed auditory world”. Can you take us through the concept and the themes that tie the EP together?
It’ s evident that music seamlessly blends organic and in-organic sounds, consistently evoking a sense of retro-futurism.
