The Indian-American singer-songwriter Seema Farswani splits her time between creating music and designing interiors in Singapore, which makes perfect sense once you hear her work; both pursuits are about transforming empty spaces into something meaningful. She’s spent her life moving between cultures and continents, from the Middle East to Chicago to Boston, picking up influences like souvenirs and turning them into something entirely her own. Her catalog already spans blues, pop-rock, and world music.
“Where art spoke louder than the names / Strangers lit creative flames” because sometimes the people who change us most are the ones we never see again.”
Her latest single, “Sketches On The Walls”, is a genuine reflection on what it means to become yourself when the world keeps trying to label you. The song uses those old black-and-white sketches from her design student days as a jumping-off point, asking what happens when those rough drafts eventually become your life in full color. She teamed up with Rish from Level Music Mumbai, who handled the chords, harmonies, and backing vocals.
Farswani acknowledges the criticism, the judgments, the way people prefer neat categories over messy truths, and then she chooses color anyway. If you’ve ever felt stuck between who you were and who you’re trying to become, “Sketches On The Walls” is worth your time.
