Overview

Hello world! My name is SINBAH and I'm a singer-songwriter here in the beautiful city of Chicago, IL.

I’ve spent my whole life immersed in music—creating, performing, and learning along the way. Each step of the journey has shaped me, from discovering the power of storytelling through song to finding my voice in harmony and melody. Over time, I’ve poured everything I’ve learned into my craft, refining my talents and understanding what it truly means to connect with others through music. Now, after years of growth and dedication, the only thing left is to share the world ive created with all of you.

The material is ready, and the musicians are waiting -- this Plaid Dog campaign is the final step toward creating my first ever, professionally produced studio album.

This campaign is raising funds for my professionally recorded album with Carter Sanders in Boston, MA. Carter is a seasoned Boston-based producer and engineer with experience working with both established and up-and-coming musicians. Together, Carter and I are digging into my original material, writing arrangements, and reaching out to local musicians to bring the songs to life. 

We’ve been able to cover the costs of recording and producing one song, which is ready for you to check out right here on this page. This first song is called “Levitate,” and you can check it out below!

While I’ve been able to fund the recording process for "Levitate” on my own, to create an album of songs of this quality, studio costs add up quickly. With that said, this campaign can give us a unique opportunity to collaborate and make great art together. Your donation will cover the following costs of my project:

1. Pre-Production: This is where everything starts. Carter and I will start crafting the arrangements for each song slated for the album. We’ll hold rehearsals to fine-tune the songs and arrangements and talk through new and exciting ideas for how to approach the recording process.

2. Recording: This is when we enter the studio and start capturing the music and where the songs become what you'll hear on this album. This campaign will play a huge role in making sure we have enough time to capture great performances for every member of the band.

3. Mixing & Mastering: Each track will get mixed to create the right balance between instruments, texture and color that make up a track. As a final step, the album will be mastered from beginning to end so that the listening experience is cohesive and carefully choreographed from start to finish.

And what will you get for your generosity and support? So many awesome things!

I am so appreciative and grateful for any support you can lend to this campaign. In exchange for your generosity, I've put together a really exciting group of gifts that are available exclusively through your participation in this campaign.

Music has always been a powerful force for me—it’s a way to connect with others, to express emotions that words alone can’t convey. Over the years, I’ve come to understand not only the impact of melody and harmony but the profound power of sound, frequency, and word. These elements have the ability to heal, uplift, and stir something deep within us—something that transcends language and resonates on a human level. Now, after years of refining my craft, I’m finally at a place where I feel brave enough to share my music with my city and my community, hoping it will do for others what it has done for me. Music has always been about connection, and I’ve been fortunate to share this experience with so many people who have helped shape me along the way. I hope this project opens up new opportunities to collaborate with others who share that same passion.

Thank you so much for checking out my campaign page. I can't wait to share this music with you.
