The last time, we spoke to Mumbai-based musician Nush Lewis, the harpist released her single “Spilt Milk” in 2017 – which also happened to be the first song she ever wrote. Since then, Lewis launched her music education property OffSet, stepped down as a faculty member at Mumbai’s True School of Music and has followed up her 2015 debut Fused with a new record, Bridges.

Two years ago, Lewis told us that everything on Bridges was first written on the piano rather than the harp. “Writing on the piano surprisingly came to me quite naturally.” She adds, “The piano gave me way more harmonic ideas as compared to the harp and that opened a whole other dimension for me.”
