In this episode, MJ sits down with Guntaas Oberoi, the Indo-Kiwi indie-pop artist known for weaving raw emotional storytelling with the rich textures of Indian classical music and modern indie-pop. With soul-stirring lyrics and a genre-fusing sonic style, Guntaas is carving out a bold and refreshing space in today’s music landscape.

Fresh off performances at Auckland’s Moana Festival and multiple support shows for Australian artist Sarah Light across Melbourne, she’s building a dedicated trans-Tasman fanbase — and she’s only getting started.

Guntaas dives into her latest release, “Embers,” a heartbreaking yet empowering track about reminiscing, letting go, and rediscovering who you are after loss. She opens up about the pain of not feeling “enough,” the journey of accepting when someone isn’t meant for you, and the healing that comes from finding yourself again.

“Embers” is out now — and you won’t want to miss this conversation.
