Tejas Menon finds it amusing when someone comes up to him to say they like him for his love songs. “It’s funny because I’ve only written two. One was an angsty piece about an ex-girlfriend, and the other about somebody who takes you for granted,” he says of tracks from his first EP, Small Victories, which released in 2014. The fan following came handy when on February 8, the 27-year-old singer-songwriter raised two lakh in just six hours of launching his crowdfunding campaign on Wishberry. He has 20 more days to go, and he is already at Rs 3.87 lakhs.
