Hi, I'm Rubina!
I want to establish a connection with my audience and have them relate to the words I sing about. I want the melodies I sing to take my listeners back to a specific time in their lives and bring back memories.
As a Persian woman, I want to encourage other women who are restricted from singing to have their voices heard and to freely express themselves.
I aim to make a difference in music by incorporating the art of culture into my music as well as my past experience. I believe that my music speaks to people of all ages, colors, and genders, and I want to build a sense of community as I communicate with others.
I trust that my voice is powerful, but when combined with the voices of others, we can change the world.
About the music
To me, the song "Secrets" portrays the trust between two people...
It portrays the pain you share together and the strength coming out of this pain. But to this strength, there also comes guilt. And with all these secrets, there comes guilt.
When I sing “I'm deep in your arms, I'll just lay there”, I want to let go of all trauma and attachments. I want to feel safe again, in his arms.
With him, I feel like I don’t have to hide anything. With him, I feel free.
But then I ask myself... Is there something wrong with having this with more than one person?...
