Sometimes change in life happens all at once. I found myself emotionally lost and, after a decade of creating instrumental music, accidentally writing songs. Today I'm finally sharing them with you in my new album, Sailing on the Light of a Passing Star🤍 https://t.co/bKNcIhlxXn

I often lean on metaphor, but I'm suddenly realising that these lyrics leave nowhere to hide. Doubt About You is the final song I'm sharing before the full album, Sailing on the Light of a Passing Star, later this month. Thank you for listening 🤍 https://t.co/cMR7Name5J

I spoke with the @indianweekender about my music, China, my Indian heritage, and my grandfather's extraordinary life story, where family and the future of a nation collide. https://t.co/Z7GQsGMsGw

I never intended to expand beyond instrumental music and start writing songs. Perhaps that's why some songs on this album almost feel like a duet with the incredible string players, and the ambience. You can hear the second song now, called Stay Still - https://t.co/iGeKaSRyvL

I just had a wonderful chat with Maggie Tweedie on @radionz about my unbelievable experience going viral on Chinese social media We also discussed my time in Liuzhou, Obi-Wan Kenobi, my upcoming album, and learned a few things about myself along the way https://t.co/8oYMDBtYs1

After over a decade of instrumental music, I've finally found my voice. Today I released Gravity, the first song from my upcoming album, and the first ever featuring my voice and lyrics. Thanks for listening, and I hope you enjoy it 🤍 https://t.co/f8J8Wld6ej

I may have only released collaborations over the past few years, but I’ve never stopped working on music of my own. It's a new direction, but I closed my eyes, pressed the button, and the first song, Gravity, will be with you in two weeks 🤍

Just across from downtown, at the top of the ancient stone stairs (or oddly ordinary office lift), you can see the city outskirts weaving between endless mountains, and the most scenic school sports field of all time. Views from Ma'an Mountain, Liuzhou, China. #Liuzhou #柳州

The most beautiful park I visited in China - Longtan Park in Liuzhou. Each one of these karst mountains (or "slim" mountains as I could only call them) had a stone staircase leading to another completely surreal view, sometimes straight out of an eco sci-fi. #柳州 #Liuzhou

Easily my most unique collaboration, today Jeremy Redmore and I share with you Migrations, our full collection of songs. It's a merging of our two different worlds, creating songs that capture moments of change between people and places. https://t.co/6ZNpLYe6fE Thank you 🤍

Easily the song that surprised me most from our collaboration, today Jeremy Redmore and I are sharing ‘Love Will Come Your Way’ featuring the beautiful vocals of Avya. I hope you enjoy this unusual journey 🤍 https://t.co/7JbOJB7zGj

After four whole years since we first started working together, and over a decade of being inspired by him, I’m so proud to finally share my new song with Jeremy Redmore - Worlds Apart. I hope you enjoy the music 🤍 Listen - https://t.co/pjaM2ZoOFa

1000 beautiful layers of pencil by Jia Luo for the cover of 'Worlds Apart', my first song with Jeremy Redmore, out next Wednesday the 13th.

“If you ever want to do a vocal collab.. 🙋‍♂️” Many years after seeing Jeremy Redmore in Midnight Youth countless times growing up, from behind my fringe of course, I received this unbelievable invitation. I start all of my collaborations as a fan, but this time had history.

Over the past few years I've been on an unlikely musical journey with one of my favourite songwriters, vocalists, and rockstar-inspirations-of-my-youth, Jeremy Redmore. I can’t wait to share our song 'Worlds Apart' with you soon 🤍

One year today of learning Mandarin Chinese, and I've only once accidentally started negotiating a business deal with a chef while practicing. Not too bad. If anyone wants to practice with me, I need all the help I can get! 今天我学了一年中文。你可以帮我学一下吗？我有点累哈哈

This time I'm writing about comfort zones, strange questions from new friends, and my 2.73 minutes of fame. I'll be sending out my next newsletter episode in the next couple of days, and I hope to see you there -

You're an inspiration Alayna, this is going to be special.

This month I’m writing in depth about the drum recording for my next album, capturing an atmosphere, trust during the creative process, and how light can fall on convenient places. If you're interested, you can join my newsletter here - https://t.co/ytzxopjTiE

Thanks @MichaelFKMusic for this immersive soundscape journey, it's beautiful.
