@ArmeenMusa is a singer-songwriter, poet, music director, performer and so much more. She studied at the world famous Berklee College of music and has had a great impact in the Bangladeshi and South Asian music scene. She has her own solo set called the Ghaashphoring Choir, and has also been a significant name in the @CokeStudioBangla project.
I have been a fan of Armeen’s work from her early days so it was a great privilege for me to have this conversation with her. We talk about her journey, we discuss what it takes to be a musician in this modern era, and we dive deep into her philosophies about art.
Just a note that this podcast was recorded in early 2022 and the artwork in the animation was done by the talented @ahmedfahimfilms .
