As AIR APPARENT, San Francisco-based artist and producer Neil Sethi makes exuberant electronic pop that invites both escapism and self-discovery. Born in Atlanta, Georgia, Sethi grew up on Bollywood and Hindu spiritual music, early 2000s Atlanta rap, and explosive nu-metal. Since releasing his first tracks in 2017, the independent Indian American musician has swiftly gained buzz for his expansive take on EDM that draws from influences like James Blake, Japanese Breakfast, Mitski, KAYTRANADA, and Jai Wolf. 
 After landing placements on Spotify’s Beats of Tomorrow playlist and making his live debut at last year’s Joy Ruckus Club 4 festival, Sethi released his debut album, Chromatic, in fall 2022. On the ‘80s electronic-influenced project, Sethi captures the highs and lows of a romantic relationship and steps into a bolder, more colorful era of AIR APPARENT.
