INDER PAUL SANDHU MAKES A BIG MOVE

INDER PAUL SANDHU  MAKES A BIG MOVE

INCREDIBLY talented independent artist Inder Paul Sandhu has been signed up by Pete Doherty to his label Strap Originals and will release a five-track tape.

I have been a longtime admirer of the soulful British singer-songwriter and this new chapter in his musical story looks like being a game-changer for him. I caught up with him for a quick Q and A.


What led towards you signing up with Pete Doherty?

My song Letter To Self, made Tom Robinson’s fresh on the net list around March 2021. That allowed me to talk to some of his team members, in particular Derek Owusu aka Platinum Mind, and he sent me in Strap Originals’ direction. The rest was history. I don’t think anybody anticipated this outcome. It was so organic and sincere from both ends. There was such a mutual love and respect for music and one another. It made sense to go forward together.

What can we expect from the five-track tape?

The production is on a whole other level. The sound is going to be insane! The whole experience of creating this tape with the guys was so calm. I had many pressures going on during its creation and for once music wasn't one of them, and that really shines through for me. There’s bare instruments man. A literal flippin’orchestra.

What else do you have planned for 2022?

I got a whole bunch of fireworks lined up for 2022 but the one thing I can let out the bag is I’m gonna be performing like crazy, which I’ll be shouting about on all my socials, so make sure you reach one! That and some really cool merch.

Bad Daughter by Sangeeta Pillai is a defiant rejection of the ‘good Indian girl’ myth

Bad Daughter by Sangeeta Pillai is not just a memoir; it's a declaration of war against cultural conformity and a powerful roadmap for reclaiming one's authentic self. The title, a label often hurled at Pillai for daring to defy the rigid expectations placed on "good Indian girls" (Bad Betis), is proudly worn as a badge of honour. This raw and unflinching feminist memoir charts the author's incredible journey from a harrowing, poverty-stricken childhood in a Mumbai slum to becoming a celebrated global voice for South Asian women's issues in London.

Pillai grew up amidst the stark realities of domestic violence -a violent, alcoholic father and her mother who was later brutally murdered yet she refused to let these traumas extinguish the "fire in her belly." Her early life became an active battle against patriarchy, a fierce determination to reject the script laid out for her: arranged marriage, silence, and submission. She fought for her education, forged a path to financial independence, and eventually emigrated, carving out a new, successful life for herself, founding the award-winning Masala Podcast and the feminist platform Soul Sutras.
