Sethi rose to prominence with his debut novel, 'The Wish Maker' in 2009. In 2012, Sethi began focusing on his musical career and made his film debut as a singer in Mira Nair's 2012 film, 'The Reluctant Fundamentalist', adapted from Mohsin Hamid's novel, with the song 'Dil Jalane Ki Baat Karte Ho.'
Following that, he began performing at music incubator Coke Studio, frequently, collaborating with other artists.
Sethi's Coke Studio duet 'Pasoori' with breakthrough artist Shae Gill has amassed nearly half a billion views on YouTube and was named by Spotify Wrapped as the most-streamed song in Pakistan in 2022.
Sethi will also be embarking on a North-American tour in the latter part of January, with performances scheduled in Chicago, San Francisco, Toronto and others.
