He’s also been a vocal proponent of the Punjabi and wider South Asian communities here in New York, and his songs often include a head-spinning mix of musical references, cultural pride, and social commentary. Heems and producer Zachary Levine-Caleb play songs from his latest, A Hundred Alibis, in-studio.
