2024 has been a year of focused work on several long-term projects, and I'm excited to share that one of them is now coming to fruition. Khawab, which means 'to dream' in Urdu, is a powerful MIPSTERZ project that highlights the creative identities of Muslim women by connecting with their real-life experiences. Created and produced by Reyhab Mohmed Patel, I had the honor of scoring the soundtrack and creating the music visualizer. You can watch it below on YouTube. The official track will be released on all platforms on Friday, August 23.

A special thank you to Abbas Rattani at MIPSTERZ for creating a wonderful organization and for all the support.

I'm excited to share that I was interviewed on Medium about my online course, "Life Skills for People of Color on the Autism Spectrum." This course addresses the unique needs of those of color with Aspergers/ASD, the research, my own experience, the myths surrounding autism, and why we need more support and resources for BIPOC on the spectrum. In the interview, I talk about why its crucial to provide more support and resources for BIPOC on the spectrum, who experience disproportionately more challenges, such as later/no diagnosis, poorer health outcomes, stigmatization, and unemployment. 

This topic has long been important to me. If you're interested in learning more about the course, I invite you to read the interview here.

These past few months I've been working on the score for the feature film, Last Chance Charlene, directed by Tony Gapastione. Check out the trailer below!

Had a great time making this song come to life with Malaysian/Taiwanese artist Belle Lee. You can now listen to it here!

I am happy to share an animation that I've been collaborating on with director Seora Hong and Studio X of Academy of Art University. After earning 27 official selections in film festivals, it is now viewable online. This is a story of a man who feels like he has lost all reason to live. As he stands on the precipice of life and death, he faces an unexpected situation that may just save his life.

Excited to say that Killer Couch - a horror comedy film I recently scored, designed sound for, and did the final mix for - is out! Made in collaboration with the talented director Tony Gapastione and his team at BraveMaker Media. 

More good news! Music to Redemption receives GFFA Special Mention for Best Original Score at the 2020 Global Film Festival Awards, Los Angeles. Very appreciative of the consideration! The soundtrack will be live Friday 10/30 on all platforms.

Out of 7000 entires, I am grateful to hear that Deserve You - a pop track I produce, mixed, and mastered for singers Belle Lee and Eiko Jin - earned a spot as semi-finalist in the 2020 Unsigned Only Music Competition.  

It's been a long journey in creating the score, and I'm now happy to finally release the soundtrack to an animation called "Madina Papel".
