London-based singer Leo Kalyan impressed people with his debut EP Silver Linings. In the time since then he has been working to perfect the finishing touches on his follow up, Outside In. On “Silhouette” Kalyan showcases his vocal range as this is the first time he has really made his training in Indian classical singing the focal point. Kalyan learned the skills of this classical singing which blends Hinduism and Islam by a Hindu Brahmin priest.
For Outside In Kalyan dives deeper into the issues that leave him feeling like an outsider. As a gay man growing up Muslim between London and Lahore, it hasn’t exactly been easy for him to find his perfect fit. However, rather than dwelling on the negative, Kalyan transforms those feelings into lyrics for his forthcoming EP with hopes that it will resonate with someone feeling just lost on the outside as he once was. – (Article by Pigeons & Planes)
