Early life and education

1984–2006: Early life and education

Ali Sethi was born on July 2, 1984, in Lahore, Pakistan. He is the son of award-winning journalists Najam Sethi and Jugnu Mohsin,[2] and the brother of actor and author Mira Sethi.[3] Sethi grew up in Lahore, where he attended the International School of Choueifat and Aitchison College.

In May 1999, police broke into his family home and arrested his father Najam Sethi for making a "treasonous speech" in India.[4][5] 15-year-old Ali Sethi campaigned with his mother for his father's release.[6] Najam Sethi was later acquitted by the Supreme Court of Pakistan and awarded Amnesty International’s Journalist of the Year Award.[7]

Ali Sethi attended Harvard College from 2002-2006.[8] At Harvard, he sang every year for the South Asian Association’s show Ghungroo and served on the features board of The Harvard Advocate. He majored in South Asian Studies and took writing courses with Zadie Smith and Amitav Ghosh.[9]

Writing
"The Wish Maker, in Ali Sethi's mature and sure-handed prose, is an engaging family saga, an absorbing coming-of-age story, and an illuminating look at one of the world's most turbulent regions. Ali Sethi steadfastly resists the usual cliché's about both Islam and his native country. Instead, he offers a nuanced, often humorous, and always novel look at life in modern day Pakistan."
– Khaled Hosseini reviewed The Wish Maker[10]

In 2009, Ali Sethi published his debut novel The Wish Maker about "the political history of Pakistan with three generations of characters who live in a middle-class, liberal enclave of Lahore."[11] In a review, The New York Times called it "a first-rate novel", stating that "Sethi's prose evokes the comic mislocutions of Jonathan Safran Foer and the vertiginous mania of Zadie Smith."[12] The book was published by Riverhead Hardcover and later Penguin Books and was met with wide spread critical acclaim and recognition. It was ranked on no. 8 at Vogue Top Ten Summer Books.[13] The book has been translated into Italian, Dutch, German, Hindi, Chinese and Turkish.[14]

The Wall Street Journal stated "Mr. Sethi is especially alive to the emotional contours of young love, its modes of courtship, its methods of subterfuge... Mr. Sethi's prose, always lucid, often soars to illuminate the quotidian."[15] The novel was long-listed for the 2011 DSC Prize for South Asian Literature,[16] ultimately losing to H. M. Naqvi's, Home Boy.[17] It was also shortlisted for 2010 Shakti Bhatt First Book Award.[18]

He has written essays and articles for The New York Times, The New Yorker, The New York Review of Books, and The Caravan.[19][20] In his writing Sethi advocates for an inclusive and syncretic Pakistan that accommodates the rights of marginal groups.[21] He has received praise for his profiles of the writer Saadat Hasan Manto and the ghazal singer Farida Khanum.[22][23]

On two occasions, the Pakistani newspaper Express Tribune censored his articles, deeming them too sensitive to be published in Pakistan.[24][25]

Musical career

2008–2017: Early career

Sethi grew up singing and performing. He has been formally apprenticed to Naseeruddin Saami of the Delhi gharana since 2008,[26] and to Ghazal singer Farida Khanum since 2012.[27] In 2013, Ali recorded "Dil Jalannay Ki Baat", which was featured in Mira Nair's political-thriller film The Reluctant Fundamentalist.[28] The song brought Sethi to international recognition as a singer,[29] and was named the "highlight of the album" by Times of India.[30]

In 2015 he made his singing debut on Season 8 of Coke Studio Pakistan. His performance was praised by Indian classical singer Shubha Mudgal.[31] He performed on the next five seasons of Coke Studio.[32] His most notable songs from the series are "Aaqa" with Abida Parveen, "Tinak Dhin" with Ali Hamza and Waqar Ahsin, and "Ranjish Hi Sahi" on Season 10.[33][34]

In February 2015, Sethi released his first music video "Kithay Nain Na Jori" at Karachi Literature Festival.[35] The video featured Sethi himself and starred Sania Saeed, Adnan Siddiqui and Mira Sethi as a tribute to Reshma.[36]

On February 5, 2016, Sethi released his original single "Mahi Mera" featuring farmer turned folk singer Jamaldin, which was critically well received.[37] The video is directed by Umar Riaz and was shot entirely in Jamal's and Sethi's ancestors village Shergarh and Hussaingarh.[38][39]

In 2017 Sethi sang on the track "Aaja" with Riz Ahmed and Himanshu Suri of the Swet Shop Boys.[40] That year, Sethi collaborated with Pakistani-American artist Shahzia Sikander and Chinese-American composer Du Yun on "Disruption as Rapture", a multimedia work housed in the permanent collection of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.[41]

Sethi co-produced and co-directed the music video for his cover of "Chan Kithan".[42] The musical arrangement combines a traditional folk ditty from rural Punjab with electronica and indie-rock to create what Sethi called "Punjabi Gothic music". The music video is based on a retelling of the Cinderella story which takes place in contemporary Pakistan.[43] In December 2017, Ali collaborated with American dhol player Sunny Jain, on a project called Resident Alien and performed renditions of seven folk songs in Joe's Pub in New York.[44]

Sethi recorded a romantic ballad "Yunhi Rastay Mai" for the 2018 film Saat Din Mohabbat In.[45] Sethi collaborated with Red Baraat on the song "Kala Mukhra" (a rework of the traditional "Gora Mukra").[46] On June 28, 2018 Sethi released two songs, "Waasta" co-written by Sethi featuring rapper Faris Shafi, as well as renditions of "Dil Karda Ay" and "Agar Tum Mil Jao" for season three of music series Cornetto Pop Rock with Qurat-ul-Ain Balouch.[47]

2017–2019: Original music, collaboration with Noah Georgeson

Though known initially for renditions of folk songs and classical ghazals, Sethi began releasing original songs in 2019. Sethi announced that he would be collaborating on a new project with American producer Noah Georgeson.[48] Sethi said, "I’ve admired Noah’s work for years, and I’m thrilled to be working with him."[49] Georgeson also responded saying, "Beyond my excitement in working with Ali, and his transcendent talent and voice, I’m looking forward to applying my approach to an unfamiliar tradition of music."[50]

Sethi and Georgeson released five songs together; "Chandni Raat", "Dil Ki Khair", "Khabar-e-Tahayyur-e-Ishq", "Ishq" and "Dil Lagaayein".[51] In May 2019, both artists gave a headlining performance together at Sanders Theater for Harvard University's Arts First festival.[52][53]

In 2019, Sethi's song "Umraan Langiyaan" from Coke Studio Season 8 was featured on HBO’s documentary film The Case Against Adnan Syed.[54] In 2019, Sethi performed as a soloist at Carnegie Hall for Du Yun’s orchestral work "Where We Lost Our Shadows". The New York Times review praised his performance for its "rawness and plaintive delicacy".[55] Video footage of Sethi's Carnegie Hall performance was shown on two NASDAQ billboards at Times Square as part of a tribute in December 2019.[56]

2020–present

Ali Sethi began his Spring 2020 Tour on February 16 with a performance at the Royal Geographical Society in London.[57] In March, 2020 Ali Sethi shared that his performances in Seattle, Chicago, San Diego, Silicon Valley and Sacramento, California had been postponed.[58]

In March 2020, when the global lockdown began due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Sethi initiated a series of virtual concerts with Indian artists on Instagram. These included musicians Rekha and Vishal Bhardwaj, singer Shilpa Rao, screenwriter Varun Grover and comedian Zakir Khan.[59] The sessions highlighted the shared history and culture of India and Pakistan and advocated for peace between the two countries.[60] However, the initiative came to an end after a circular issued by FWICE on April 11, 2020 warned Indian artists not to collaborate with Pakistanis.[61]

On May 17, 2020, Sethi took part in a conversation with Nirupama Rao, former Foreign Secretary of India, to discuss how art intersects with issues of interconnectedness, identity and culture in South Asia. Ali and Nirupama discussed the historical and cultural bonds between India and Pakistan. The conversation was hosted by the Bangalore International Centre and the South Asian Symphony Foundation.[62]

Sethi sang and composed the song "Pehla Qadam" which was released on September 18, 2020. The song's lyrics were written by Sunayana Kachroo. "Pehla Qadam" was produced by Danish Renzu and Abubakar Khan, and featured Sunny Jain on drums.[63]

Reception

Ali Sethi's work has been praised for combining classical Pakistani music and poetry with contemporary pop music.[64] He has been credited with introducing ghazal poetry and qawwali singing to younger generations.[65] Sethi has been credited with popularizing these art forms in both mainstream Pakistani culture and internationally.[66] Haroon Rashid of BBC Asian Network described Ali Sethi as the "king of modern ghazal".[67]

Bollywood singer and rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh compared Sethi playback legend Mohammed Rafi.[68] The Bollywood actor and singer Ayushmann Khuranahas also praised Sethi's singing.[69] Sethi's work has also been praised for its message of inclusiveness.[70] Lydialyle Gibson of Harvard Magazine said of Sethi's work that "boundaries fall away—between past and present, earthly and transcendent, between art and religion and politics."[71]

Awards and nominations

Sethi was nominated for Best Playback Singer - Male at 15th Lux Style Awards,[72] and Best Playback Singer - Male at 2nd ARY Film Awards for performing "Aah Ko Chahiye" in the film Manto.[73] His single "Kithay Nain Na Jorain" was nominated for Best Music Single and Best Music Video at the 4th Hum Awards.[74]
