Sheherazaad

Sheherazaad is an American composer and theatre artist, whose cinematic blend of dystopic folk-noir and experimental pop laced with South Asian musical sensibilities has established her as one of the most distinctive new voices in contemporary music. Raised in California in a second-generation immigrant household and now dividing her time between India and Brooklyn, her richly poetic songwriting explores broken tongues, and unbelonging through immersive, genre-defying soundscapes. Since the release of her acclaimed ‘Qasr’ EP, she has toured internationally, composed for New York’s Off-Broadway stages, and collaborated with artists including Arooj Aftab (who produced ‘Qasr’), all while continuing to wield her multidisciplinary practice across music, theatre and the written word. Her self-produced debut full-length album, ‘Khudgarzi’, arrives November 20 via Erased Tapes.
