On Maed in India this week, we have Baroda-based singer-songwriter, producer and visual artist Shashwat Bulusu. Mae chats to him about how his relationship with music went from a tabla, to a guitar, to a punk metal band, to eventually becoming a producer. He tells us more about how his Shashwat and Bullu sides come together on his debut album Pinocchio, his brief foray into comedy, how Aakash Mehta pushed him to focus on his music, and why he avoids existentialism in his songs. He also performs two tracks from his debut album, and one he wrote very recently!

Song List:

Aabad (00:40 - 05:16)

Burning Up (17:33 - 20:48)

Statistic (35:58 - 39:50)
