Meitei's innovative approach to music composition not only showcases his talent as a trailblazing artist but also highlights his ability to captivate audiences with his distinctive style that bridges traditional Japanese influences with contemporary soundscapes. His success in both the music industry and commercial collaborations underscores his versatility and creativity as a musician, solidifying his reputation as a boundary-pushing force in the ambient music scene.
