What’ s next after this album? Are you planning a tour, visual storytelling, or perhaps collaborations?
There’ s a lot on the line, and we’ re just getting started. My team and I are planning to take this music to the stage and giving it the kind of energy it deserves in a live setting. We also want to create more visual content like music videos that extend the experience beyond just sound, and bring the album’ s world to life in a more immersive way.
I’ m also always open to collaborations. They allow me to explore new sounds, perspectives, and genres. At the end of the day, I see myself more as a composer than just a guitarist. The guitar is just one of the tools I use to tell a story but it’ s the composition, the emotion, the overall journey that matters most to me. That’ s what I want to keep pushing forward in whatever I do next.
How do you think your music and message have evolved for the global stage post-pandemic?
Over the last couple of years, social media and YouTube have played a huge role in getting my music out to a global audience. It’ s been amazing to see people from different countries and cultures connect with what I do. That’ s the power of instrumental music. It speaks across language, geography, and background.
At the same time, I know I’ m offering something a little different. You don’ t often see a Sikh guitarist diving deep into progressive, cinematic, or ambient instrumental music. So for a lot of people, this is something new both visually and sonically. But that’ s also what makes it exciting. My music has evolved to carry a bigger message now. Not just about sound, but about identity, intention, and presence.
