World Music Abi | DipakC | Inner Voice | Official Music Video and Behind the Track

Hope you enjoy my debut single in collaboration with DipakC.



I met Dipak during my time at university when we performed together. I was really impressed with how he could play the piano by ear. He has taught himself so much and is a wonderful collaborator to work with. 

He contacted me during the pandemic and intiated our collaboration with a track he had already made. I asked him to wait until I was ready to commit to the project and I'm thankful for his patience. I put together a few vocal tracks which Dipak then selected and together, we're telling the story of the inner voice. We had several back and forths for mastering, We had a lack of coordination in our schedule to make the music video so after confirming the ideas were okay with Dipak, I went ahead with producing the music video for our collaboration.

A few words from Dipak:

It's been a real pleasure working with Abi. She's such a talented vocalist and delivered exactly what I envisioned! I wanted a chant/abstract vocal repetition at the beginning which continued through the track and Abi provide what you hear at the start and I was blown away at the accuracy of what I wanted vs what was delivered.


The first set of vocals were great and allowed me to snip and cut bits of the vocals and place them in certain places to give rise to varying textures of the track. When snipping, sometimes the vocals were distorted due to my errors and Abi was more than happy to record them again which we have used in this final track. I'm so glad I waited for Abi to be available to record this as the wait definitely paid off with Inner Voice - I couldn't be happier with it!


Here's an interesting fact: we did not meet in person at all to record this track or video!

How did this track make you feel? 
Please let me know in the comments!

The lyrics are rhythmic syllables found in Carnatic and Hindustani music.

Home - Sneak Peak Original song by World Music Abi


Home is where I'd like to be

Home is the safest place for me

Let myself be free

I'm alone here but not lonely


Is home a familiarity

To me, friends are family,

Is it a place to live in this big city

Or in the roots of my history.


The meaning of the song is derived from my feeling of "being at home" or comfort in certain places or around certain people more than others. It is about how I can express myself in my comfort zone while alone. "I'm alone here but not lonely" comes from that feeling of how it is okay to focus on things on your own. 

Familiar things like people from my past, or songs from my teens or food from my childhood make me feel at home. Most of the time when we say home, we talk about the place we live in. "The roots of my history" is a reference to how some say "Go back home" in a demeaning way to us. It also is a history to our ancestral identity and culture that may be lost as time goes on and the world becomes more westernised.

I was inspired by Nalinakanthi Ragam when composing this song but actually ended up composing it in a mixture of Hamsathwani and Kedaram. 

The idea that kickstarted this song came while I suggested an idea to the BAM & beyond team about having home as a theme for people to make their own content about.

Aarumuga Arulaala - ஆறுமுகா அருளாளா - சேயோனே அருள் புரிவாய்

Lyrics by Venthanar Ilansei

Music by Abiramy Logeswaran (World Music Abi)

Kalyani Ragam (Lydian Dominant Scale)



The lyrics of this song express praise of Lord Muruga (a Hindu deity).

வசனம்: வேந்தனார் இளஞ்சேய்

இசை: அபிராமி லோகேஸ்வரன்

இராகம் கல்யாணி


சேயோனே அருள் புரிவாய்

ஆறுமுகா அருளாளா

அடியவர்கள் துயர்தீராய்

வேல்முருகா வடிவழகா

வேண்டும்வரம் நீதாராய்

மால்மருகா மயில்வாகனா

மக்கள்துயர் போக்கிடுவாய்

நல்லூரா நம்தலைவா

நன்றேயெமைக் காத்திடுவாய்.

காங்கேயா நம்மையா

கருணை நீ காட்டிடுவாய்

கந்தனே எம்கடவுளே

குறைகளை தீர்த்திடுவாய்

வேலவனே பாலகனே

வேதனையை விரட்டிடுவாய்

வள்ளிமணாளா ஐயனே

வணங்குகின்றேன் சரணமையா

செவ்வேளே சரவணா

செந்தமிழில் உனைவணங்க

நம்தமிழர் விரும்பியே

நாளும் உனைத்துதித்திட

கருணைதான் நீகாட்டி

காத்தெமை வழிகாட்டி

செய்திடவே தமிழ்வழிபாடு

சேயோனே அருள்புரிவாய்.
