I listen to all sorts of music from many artists and genres and sometimes find lesser known, non mainstream artists I gravitate towards liking and this artist is one of them. I live in the UK and in about 2007 I was flipping around music channels on Sky TV and I saw this music video (Possibly on Classic FM's TV channel) for a song called "Reflection" by Shayan Italia, an Indian music artist and songwriter. I had never heard of him before but I liked the song a lot. The music video used to be online but I can no longer find it. I have his album from the time. The album on spotify (does not seem like you can listen to the songs anymore though):
After he released the album, at some point he took all info about it off his website, remade all the songs with different instruments and some pacing changes while keeping the lyrics the same, updated his website and then re-released the updated songs and got rid of info on his original versions. After going on his website now, there is no mention of his first album, nor his remade songs, just something called "Angelina", probably a song or album thats says it is supposed to be released in 2024.

I would like to find his music video for "Reflection" and the remade, re-released versions of the songs from his first album but I am not sure how many people actually know who Shayan Italia is beyond what I have mentioned to actually know about those songs.
A few threads/websites I found from the time about Shayan:
