He’s also a musician who leads the band The One AM Radio and and provides the music for the hip-hop project Moors.  Listen as he explains how hearing Asha Bhosle’s  “Yeh Hai Reshmi Zulfon Ka Andhera,” at the age of 6 helped him understand a feeling that he would be able to draw inspiration from for his entire life.

Then Canadian singer-songwriter and multi instrumentalist Basia Bulat explains why a live version of Sam Cooke’s “Bring It On Home To Me,” changed her life.
