What does it take to build a career in music when there is no blueprint to follow? 

In this episode, Priyanka sits down with Sejal Kargal, also known as $EJ, a South Asian-American independent artist whose music blends identity, culture, and experimentation into a sound entirely her own. From learning violin and Carnatic vocals as a child to teaching herself music production during the pandemic, Sejal reflects on her journey of putting her art into the world, navigating visibility in a crowded industry, and embracing the vulnerability that comes with sharing her story through music. This is a conversation about identity, self-discovery, and the courage to stay true to your voice while creating a space for yourself in an industry that often asks you to fit in.
