Ashwin Syam is a composer, producer, guitarist, and singer, born in Kerala and raised across India, crafting heartfelt yet cinematic Malayalam music drawn from life’s moments: ranging from a father’s letter to his newborn, to a boy who studied through his grief, raising his marks to the sky for his grandmother, to a husband’s first tears in 50 years at his wife’s passing. Every song is written as if it’s sitting beside you, saying the words you left unsaid.
His music lives in two worlds: Day and Night. Day is sunlit and organic: warm, piano- and guitar-led songs wrapped in his trademark ambient textures, with animated visuals painting a world full of hope. Night is neon and electronic: sombre, modern, intense; synth-driven, shot in live action. With five songs released and eight new Malayalam songs in the works across both worlds, he has live sets coming up at Hideaway, Goa and Bonobo, Mumbai.
