Shanaya The Doll Turns AI Questions Into Music Debut
Shanaya The Doll is an artist and online personality based in Toronto.
People have often asked whether she is a real person or made by a computer.
She decided to turn that question into her first song, called “AI Wargi.”
The title means something like “AI-like.”
The song will be in Punjabi and English.
Its videos show her fashion, luxury style and doll-like image.
Shanaya says the project is based on her real life, not a fictional character.
She also wants to connect her Punjabi and Persian roots with her Western style.
She said she spent nearly CAD $40,000 making the song and videos.
Toronto-based digital personality Shanaya The Doll is releasing her debut Punjabi-English song, “AI Wargi.”
The title uses the Punjabi word “wargi,” meaning “like” or “resembling,” and responds to comparisons that she looks artificial or computer-generated.
The project combines her doll-inspired appearance, luxury fashion aesthetic, Punjabi and Persian heritage, and Western lifestyle imagery.
Shanaya said a proposed collaboration with Punjabi video creator Harpreet Brar did not proceed after he reportedly considered her image too vulgar for the Punjabi community.
She said she invested close to CAD $40,000 in the project and worked with Rafi Makush of RM Productions.
