Swati (born Swati Sharma) is an Indian Playback singer-songwriter. She developed a following in the music and arts scene in Manhattan's lower east side, and has since performed at Lilith Fair. Her primary instrument is a twelve string guitar fitted with eight strings.

Contents

Equipment

Swati plays an Alvarez Yairi 12-string guitar, but unconventionally removes the octave strings and uses only the string pairs for the B and high E strings. Her acoustic-electric sound is enhanced by effects pedals including the Boss DD-5 Digital Delay, Boss DS-2 Turbo Distortion, Boss OC-2 Octave, and Fulltone Clyde Standard Wah.
