Ali Sethi

Pasoori 💥

Ali Sethi is a New York-based writer, composer and performer best known for his ‘ragaton’ blockbuster single ‘Pasoori’, which topped Spotify’s Global Viral chart in 2022 and was declared Google’s most hummed-to-search song of that year.

Blending traditional South Asian melodies with global beats, and drawing on “folk” and “woke” iconographies to tell powerful tales of identity, Sethi’s work is “stealthily subversive” (The New Yorker) and earned him a spot on TIME’s 100 Next list. His music is praised for showing that “differences of culture, language, religion and gender do not need to be antagonistic; they can, and always have, enriched us, and given us some of our greatest works of art.” (TIME)

On his world tour in fall 2023, Sethi reprises the playful pied-piper persona he brought out at Coachella, combining camp comedy with breathtaking balladeering, taking audiences on a journey through lands and eras, and making thrilling new connections between cultures that pave the way for bright futures.
