'Lead' is the first single from Tejas' upcoming sophomore album, 'Outlast'.

Lyrics:

I've never known another way to be,
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree,
Instead of dreaming I can't get no sleep,
I'm sorry Mary I can't be your sheep

Show me where I've got to lead
Cause I would never know to follow
Show me where I've got to lead
Cause I would never know now

Do I have the legs to stand on my two feet?
Right the wrongs that hold back legacy,
When I'm under pressure do I have the lungs to scream?
Hold my pride and rise to let them see I was never ordinary

Show me where I've got to lead
Cause I would never know to follow
Show me where I've got to lead
Cause I would never know now

Show me where I've got to lead
Cause I would never know to follow
Show me where I've got to lead
Cause I would never know now

No I'll 
No I'll never know
Show me where I've got lead

Tejas is a singer-songwriter from Bombay, India. Growing up in Dubai he was exposed to a variety of cultures, which has since influenced his signature brand of English Pop music. His music brings together a variety of genres including Rock, Funk, R&B, Soul and Electronica; and has been instrumental in shaping the landscape of independent English songwriting from the sub-continent.
He has released two critically acclaimed albums; 'Make It Happen' (2017) and his most ambitious work yet, ‘Outlast’. ‘Make It Happen’ went to #1 on the Indian Pop Charts on iTunes on its release and Outlast featured on several end-of-year lists, including the top 10 Best Indian albums of 2021 by Rolling Stone Magazine.
Tejas has travelled across the country to play sold out shows at most major venues and music festivals including Lollapalooza India, Bacardi NH7 Weekender, Kala Ghoda Arts Festival, and VH1 Supersonic. In 2021 he released a cover of ‘Across the Universe’ and travelled to Spain to promote the film ‘The Beatles and India’ which chronicles the fab four’s time in Hrishikesh. He has supported Damien Rice, Lucy Rose on their Indian tours and was also the recipient of the Best Singer-Songwriter of The Year (Jury’s Choice) Award from The Indian Music Diaries Awards 2021, and winner of Pop Artist of the Year from The Indies Awards. He can recently be heard as the voice of Archie, in the Netflix Film ‘The Archies’ by Zoya Akhtar.

a visual artist, designer, drifter, dreamer, trekker to sum it up a little and an occasional ukulele player.

music is all about finding people or community through shared human experiences. When a song gives voice to something you thought that no one else could possibly understand.
