Subhi's Experience

I have written & performed songs for my debut Hindi Pop Jazz EP. The album release show was co-presented by the Jazz Institute of Chicago. Recently, I have started working with LA-based producers on my debut English EP which is coming out in the next few months. I am co-writing with other writers and working with producers on the project.
