Seema Farswani is a musician, producer and interior designer based in Singapore, with roots in places like Dubai and Chicago that inspire her creative work. She uses her design background to sculpt sound with a meticulous eye and explores concepts such as self-discovery, personal change and open honesty, as she did with previous projects such as Sketches on the Walls and her single Evolved.
In her song “Born To Fly,” the music combines soft rock with sweeping global pop, giving an intimate and vast sound. The track takes a smooth ride from quiet, gentle moments to a grand, sweeping sound. Electric and acoustic guitars join the distinctive sound of a sitar to take us on a path from quiet doubt to complete confidence.
This piece is born out of a great team effort thanks to the vision & co-production talents of Seema Farswani. Rishabh Sharma from Mumbai added some nice guitar work and good production work, Ananya Wadkar brought some lush sitar lines and some Hindi singing, Shania “Nia” Tan added some soft background vocal layers, and the mastering engineer Brandon Leo made sure every single soft sound and big moment came through loud and clear.
Seema Farswani opens the song with a quiet, close voice that feels like a private conversation. As the instrumental background swells, her voice gets bigger and fuller, blending perfectly with Ananya Wadkar’s high Hindi vocal lines and Shania “Nia” Tan’s smooth background notes to deliver pure emotional truth.
Fundamentally, the song is about hope and courage, and it began as a personal note that Seema wrote to her daughters. However, after a performance at “The Voices Unseen,” a charity concert in support of visually impaired communities and women’s empowerment, it became a much larger call to action, turning the message into a push for women and girls to break past social limits and stand tall.
This entire journey is directly relatable to our own adventures in daily life, where we often face hard changes, new projects and moments of self-doubt. This song is a good buddy for these daily times, reminding us that the daily grind is just a process, that the quiet times of preparation will eventually become real breakthroughs.
“Born To Fly” is an inspiring song that fuses different styles of music and delivers a clean, strong message. It’s a constant reminder that we all have the ability to overcome fear, to come out of the darkness and find our full strength.
