SanaAli

Sana is the voice most people meet the group through. She knew Arslan for years before any of this existed, and the thing they had in common then was the thing it got built on: songs, the words in them, and singing.

She writes as well as sings. Most of what she puts her name to is a love song of some kind, and she goes after the line that says the thing plainly rather than the one that sounds clever. When it works, somebody hears their own week in it.

Most of what is on the channel is Sana on her own. She also sings duets, and takes her part in the songs where everybody sings at once.

For her, writing and singing are the same job done twice. Her work is a good deal of what gives the group the feeling it has, and it is the reason the songs land where they do.

She works closely with everybody else here, putting ideas up, pulling songs apart with them, and carrying on looking for ways of saying something that has already been said a thousand times.
