honestly i'm still trying to process this. top 5 out of a thousand feels unreal.
massive thank you to triple j and triple j unearthed for the recognition, and for really taking the time to listen. growing up in melbourne, i always dreamed about a moment like this, and now that it's here, it means even more because i'm finally stepping into myself, not just as an artist, but as a person. lately, i've found a stronger desire to express who i am fully, through my music, my story, and my faith of hinduism, and this moment feels like part of that journey.
thank you to my parents, to my friends who believed in me before anyone else was paying attention, to 719023 and ashvs for being part of ride or die, and to every single person who reposted, streamed, dm'd, or came out to a show. your support means more than i can put into words.
Om of the Universe — YOU+
