Collaborative projects are the most magical creatively.
It is very rare to meet someone who loves to think about similar things but has a whole different dimension to offer. Vijayalakshmi and I continue to inspire each other and work together where ever we can. Together we have worked with Mac Quayle and Yuval Ron in order to create highly unique music.
