Current Projects.
Ameyaxoxo
Parallel to his work with Who Knows, Ameya’s solo projects under the name Ameyaxoxo continue to explore themes of memory, melancholy, and quiet wonder.
His sophomore EP Turill—anchored by the standout single “Mango Hibiscus,” praised by Rolling Stone India as “guitar wizardry combined with soulful songwriting”—cemented his reputation as a distinctive voice in the modern instrumental space. Its follow-up, “Foxgloves Amethyst,” featured on the Maed Mixtape, was described as “a great travel song”—fitting for music that feels in constant motion, both geographically and emotionally.
Across his three EPs—Raining Cats, Who Knows Vol. 1, and Turill—Ameya has created a small but resonant body of work that continues to find new listeners. Songs like “Raspberry Ripple” have quietly amassed tens of thousands of streams, while live reimaginings of Turill—recorded in both Philadelphia and Pune—reflect his ongoing dialogue between place, collaboration, and performance.
