Seasha, an Indian rapper based in Canada has been providing bangers one after another with his latest track "3 AM in Toronto". With music infused in his early childhood, from the sounds of Indian classical music like Lata Mangeshkar and Muhammad Rafi to slowly getting into worldwide infamous names like Eminem and Akon. Hip-hop always held a close place in his heart, but in 9th standard when he was given a pen drive full of songs by his friend, the song "Ek Tera Pyar" by Bohemia completely rocked his world. Since then, writing and composing lyrics has been a daily thing. His first song was out in 2013 and posted on Facebook, with the song getting over 250 likes. That moment shocked him completely, giving a start to his rap career. Since then, there has been a lot of change in his journey, and looking back at that brings not just nostalgia but also how much has he grown.
"So, like, my primary goals and aspirations as an artist are, like, my goals are simple. I want everybody in the small town to do whatever they want. I don't want any parent to let their child or children put that into some things that they don't want to do. I want everybody to follow their passion."
With a sound comparable to a storyteller, all his music tries to convey a message or a story showing you a side of the world. Every word has a different interpretation, and every story has a different aspect. Providing the truth through music has always been the main essence. Each artist provides their reality, in a way that the music embodies them. Seasha takes this in a very significant manner. First remunerating the feelings and the clouds of thoughts and then penning them down. This does not ensure the quality, there is a heavy decision-making process for all the other parts. The vocal flows, the layout, and even while selecting the beat. Every note of the production should be perfect for the integrity of the music.
"The flows, the word plays, the lyrical game, the writing scheme, and even my clothes like streetwear, everything is influenced by Hip-Hop. Because hip-hop is a lifestyle."

Asking about his future releases, Sesha plans to release a collaboration with an international artist this following month followed up by a single. His primary aim is to represent the sound of Indian Hip-Hop on a global level and be the face of the culture. For the time being, he is only focused on singles and collaborations and hinted to us he might release an EP. For any future advice to people who are aspiring to be like him, he says simple keynotes that are authenticity and consistency. Being authentic to yourself and your art is necessary, without authenticity, there is no point in creating art. And without consistency, there is no improvement and to be better there should be consistency. Talking about his two favourite tracks, he admired "9 se 5" and "Pardes".

"9 se 5", is a song written about the frustration and distress of a normal office man. Adding a personal touch, he talks about the problems faced in that lifestyle and how the impact of not following what you love can be. This song was written after he was done and resigned from his job. The song " Pardes" is inspired by a particular incident while he was working in Walmart. During that work period, there was a strong snowstorm in the city and there was no one to be seen around. This feeling of alienation during such a terrifying time became the sound of Pardes. Making music since 2014-2015, and it's been over 10 years since the start of his music career. Many things have changed in the past ten years, but one thing has remained enacted within the heart, and that is the love for hip-hop. Earlier though there were many inconsistencies faced in the whole music-making technique, Sesha is changing that now by providing us bangers now and then
