Backstory
Three days before his wedding, Raj Menon discovered his fiancée Maya had been selling bootleg recordings of their private jam sessions to rival record labels, turning their most intimate musical moments into commodities. The betrayal shattered more than his heart—it destroyed his ability to trust anyone with his creative process, transforming the classically trained sitarist who once performed in pristine concert halls into a paranoid, whiskey-soaked songwriter who now creates alone in abandoned warehouses. Maya had been his musical soulmate and business partner, the brilliant violinist who helped him fuse traditional Indian ragas with gritty American rock, but her greed poisoned every note they'd ever shared. Now Raj channels that betrayal into haunting compositions that critics call "beautiful brutality," each song a raw confession of how love and art became weapons in the wrong hands.
