Good lord. I’m verified… I am actually me. Till today I wasn’t too sure so this is great news. Wonderful,..

Ok. As you were. Everybody calm down.

To celebrate, I’m going to leave this here.

It’s around 4am… I rarely get a decent night’s sleep these days. Which is probably unwise as I had a heart attack last year. Yet sleeping comfortably seems to normalise a global reality born of Orwellian nightmares, where villains are lionised and victims vilified. I will be awake till dawn… again.

'We risk becoming an island of strangers, not a nation that walks forward together.'

Starmer jumps on a bandwagon driven by scumbags and racists.

I’m so tired of dog whistle politics.

This garbage should have ended long ago.

Celebrate immigrants. They benefit our culture, economy and health.

Had a wonderful time last night at the @bafta.org nominees party :) Met the very cool fellow nominees in my category… I’m nominated for my score for a stunning wildlife documentary film called “Tiger”. I’ll be at the awards ceremony for tv arts and crafts this coming Sunday. 🙏🏾💫

Told the shop assistant I would have a think about this jacket overnight… Not sure about it. 🤷🏾‍♂️ Oh yeah… and the world is falling to shit.

My cousin found an old illustration of a horse I drew with a biro for my aunty when I was 17 years old. I used to love drawing. Very rarely pick up a pen now…

I cannot even begin to express my deepest sorrow at the passing of Zakir-ji. He dazzled me as a teenager and inspired me throughout my adulthood. Some geniuses become musical greats and others transcend the limitations of their instrument to redefine music itself. That is just part of his legacy.

This is how the visibility of my posts has been restricted on “X”… In this vid you’ll see the post shows 9 likes and 3 reposts. However, you’ll also see when I check my post interactions none of that shows. It is as if the post did not exist… This happens with all my posts on X. Why? So sinister.

Hanging out with my amazing band last year just before we performed on Later with Jools on tv.

…Except one of the advisors to the ICC on the ruling is a Holocaust survivor. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Very kind words from @tanikagupta.bsky.social on insta and a little plug for my upcoming show at Bridgewater Hall in Manchester, which includes my new Hallé orchestral commission about my heart attack earlier this year. 🙏🏾 Loving the non-toxic vibe here :)

Hi. So I’m landing here properly…

You will see me posting more and more here in the months to come. ❤️

Whilst working on a project in a club recently with Aref Durvesh, a friend handed me his sitar and l used my guitar knowledge to have a go :)

I thought I’d post this first. 🙏🏾🔥
