Album: Awareness, Recorded July 2021 and Released March 25th 2022. "Awareness" the title track of the album is a composition is inspired by my younger brother, who is autistic. Autism isn’t a curable disease, so the best way to help heal and be there for these people is to be aware and supportive. I think of this composition like I think of him, flowing water and a peaceful overall energy. This is the inspiration behind the album art as well." - Kabir Dalawari
