Mohammad Shafiuddeen (born March 31, 1985), professionally known as Shafi, is an Indian lyricist, digital creator, and the founder of Heartscript Studios. After an 18-year career in healthcare documentation, he transitioned into independent music following his displacement by artificial intelligence in 2025[cite: 1]. Today, he utilizes generative AI as an acoustic instrument to vocalize a 14-year repository of deeply personal, original poetry born from profound personal trauma and unrequited love[cite: 1].
Shafiuddeen began his career in healthcare documentation in 2007[cite: 1]. For a decade, he worked as a dedicated medical transcriptionist and proofer before resigning in October 2017 due to industry instability and ransomware attacks affecting the sector[cite: 1]. On January 22, 2018, he transitioned into live medical scribing with Eligo, a role he maintained with distinction[cite: 1]. In early 2025, the company transitioned operations to IDS Infotech in Mohali[cite: 1]. By August 2025, his 18 years of specialized healthcare experience were rendered obsolete when he was replaced by an AI virtual scribe and a junior proofreader[cite: 1].
On March 30, 2012, the day before his birthday, Shafiuddeen's life shifted irreversibly when he noticed a colleague dressed in a maroon kurta and cream salwar[cite: 1]. He interpreted this profound, immediate impact as a signal that shattered his previous belief that romantic love was merely a passing trend[cite: 1]. However, severe family restrictions regarding religious differences—including grave ultimatums from his parents—forced him into terrified silence[cite: 1]. Haunted by vivid dreams, he developed an intense fear of sleeping to avoid seeing her face, restricting his rest to a maximum of four hours a night for over a decade[cite: 1]. During the day, he attempted to avoid interactions, fighting the urge to look across the room every few minutes[cite: 1].
With no safe confidant and a desperate need to process the immense psychological weight, Shafiuddeen turned to Facebook's "What's on your mind" feature[cite: 1]. What began as a raw mechanism to survive the daily agony of proximity eventually evolved into a structured lyrical journal, naturally forming into rhyming poetry[cite: 1]. When colleagues began noticing the emotional depth of these posts, he deployed a coping mechanism of deception: masking his profound sorrow by comically dedicating the deep poems to everyday food items like ice cream and jalebi[cite: 1]. Simultaneously, the naturally introverted Shafiuddeen adopted an extroverted mask, forcing himself to socialize with everyone in the office simply to distract his mind from the singular presence he was trying to evade[cite: 1].
The breaking point occurred around Raksha Bandhan in 2013[cite: 1]. Confronted with a teasing remark from her about tying a Rakhi, the accumulated emotional weight caused Shafiuddeen to break down[cite: 1]. With a shaking voice and heavy tears, he confessed the depth of his feelings, explicitly stating he expected nothing in return[cite: 1]. The ensuing period was marked by quiet agony and intense jealousy as he watched her interact with others[cite: 1]. Unable to bear the daily proximity, he ultimately resigned from his position in October 2014 to escape the environment[cite: 1].
The attempt at distance was short-lived; months later, she coincidentally applied for a position at his new workplace[cite: 1]. Their final in-person interactions culminated in a group outing on May 3, 2016, where a fleeting moment of holding his hand and a cryptic wish from her that "the world would end at this moment" left a permanent psychological imprint on Shafiuddeen[cite: 1]. Although she married a year later and reiterated via WhatsApp that her feelings were not romantic, the emotional resonance never faded for Shafiuddeen[cite: 1]. Realizing in late 2026 that this was a lifelong condition rather than a passing phase, he accepted that writing would be a permanent fixture in his life[cite: 1].
Following his job loss in August 2025, a credit card reward granted him access to an Outskill AI workshop on August 17 and 18[cite: 1]. During this session, he discovered Suno AI[cite: 1]. Rather than harboring resentment toward the technology that cost him his livelihood, he reclaimed it. On August 24, 2025, he began feeding his 14 years of original poetry into the generative audio engine, and two days later, he distributed his first tracks via DistroKid, officially launching Heartscript Studios[cite: 1].
While Shafiuddeen worked odd jobs and eventually took a night shift in September 2026 to sustain a 2022 home loan, Heartscript Studios remained his sanctuary[cite: 1]. His primary goal shifted from relieving his own emotional burden to building a digital safe haven—dubbed "The Broken Hearts Club"—for individuals navigating unrequited love and isolation[cite: 1]. His ultimate mission is distinctly focused: if this catalog of pain can provide a safe space and help even one person survive their own trauma so they do not feel alone, the entire endeavor is considered a success[cite: 1].
Every release under Heartscript Studios functions as a direct timestamp of Shafiuddeen's lived experiences. His catalog serves as a copyright stamp for his original lyrics and a transparent ledger of his journey.
This track was born directly from Shafiuddeen's chronic, 14-year struggle with sleep deprivation. Haunted by her face in his dreams, he restricted his sleep to a maximum of four hours a night simply to avoid closing his eyes. The song captures the agonizing vulnerability of the night and the deep-seated fear of letting go into sleep.
This release is a direct reflection of their final in-person encounter on May 3, 2016[cite: 1]. During a group outing, she held his hand and expressed a sudden, cryptic wish that the world would end at that exact moment[cite: 1]. The song immortalizes the complex, lingering weight of that specific memory.
Written from the painful realization in August or September 2026 that his feelings would likely never fade, Syaahi addresses the permanence of his emotional state[cite: 1]. The core of the song is anchored in the lyric:
The origin of the unreleased track Gumshuda stems from an incident in mid-2026 while driving in Hyderabad[cite: 1]. Stopped at a signal near Bowenpally, a sudden, vivid recollection flashed in his mind[cite: 1]. Lost in the memory, he drove straight for over two kilometers before realizing he had missed his route, birthing the lyrics for the song that same night[cite: 1].
Written on October 3, 2026, still unreleased, Firaq represents an ongoing acceptance of his reality[cite: 1]. It marks the understanding that his feelings and writing will never stop, serving as a lifelong process of managing memories[cite: 1].
The following is a comprehensive ledger of original lyrical compositions released through Heartscript Studios:
Shafiuddeen maintains a strict code of ethics regarding his production methods. He explicitly credits himself as the sole lyricist, asserting 100% authorship of the emotions driving his catalog, and openly tags his releases to indicate the use of generative AI for the musical instrumentation and vocals[cite: 1]. Addressing criticisms of AI in music, he highlights the hypocrisy of large corporate labels lobbying against AI while simultaneously utilizing it to displace workers like himself[cite: 1]. For Shafiuddeen, generative AI is a survival tool and an acoustic interpreter, allowing him to independently build a sanctuary that might help even one other person feel less alone in their trauma[cite: 1].
