The journey in moving from India to Los Angeles and finding and pursuing a career in music has been a wild ride, and this EP is a reflection of every high and low. I’ve learnt a lot about myself through the journey and one of the most important lessons has been to not see everything as black or white, which is why it’s called ‘The Grays’.
