For Berkeley-based instrumentalist Sheetal Singh — who writes and records as Forest Bees — a great song concept often can strike her at the worst of times.
Take July 2020, for instance, when the Indian-descended singer was taking a much-needed weekend getaway with her husband and two children at a Clear Lake resort at the height of the pandemic. It “seemed like a very safe, personal-distancing thing to do, going camping with another family that was also multi-racial like ours, that summer where everything was so crazy,” she said.
“Here we were on vacation, and I had my two mixed-race kids with me, and the other couple were immigrants from other countries, and these people were all around us yelling, but everything just went quiet in my head,” she said. “I thought, ‘I don’t belong here — I have never belonged in this country, even though I was born here.’ That experience really hit home for me, but what — and where — is home? Because I’ve been to India on family vacations, and that never felt like home to me, either.
