Welcome to the very first episode of Raagstars! In this premiere, (recorded last year and finally being edited and released!) Mat and Gajanand dive into Mat's musical origin story — from discovering the sitar to his evolving relationship with Indian Classical Music as a first-generation Indian American.

Along the way, we chat about early influences, what drew us to this timeless art form, and how culture and creativity shape our connection to it.
