Minshul – “Sunshine”

In a statement, Minshul said, “I was humming something on my ukulele and he [Bruzo]came and sat right in front of me and started listening. I looked at him and started singing whatever I felt about him, and this is how ‘Sunshine’ was shaped. He actually helped me during my depression and brought love and light into my life. I use music to express my emotions and I’ve poured all my love that I have for Bruzo in this song.”
