Several months ago I had a deep dive conversation about my journey as a musician, activist, and Sikh on Shabd Singh’s podcast The One with Shabd. The episode just aired this week, and you can listen here or wherever you like to listen to podcasts. A description of the episode is below. Happy listening!
Shabd interviews Sonny Singh who is a trumpet & dhol player, singer, songwriter and a social justice educator. He is also the original member of Red Baraat - a band out of Brooklyn, New York.
They talk about Sonny’s experience with racism growing up, learning to play tabla and harmonium as a young SIkh kid, finding ska music, discovering and attending social justice movements and more - all of which go into his work as a musician and an educator today. His first single as a solo artist, ‘Mitar Pyare Nu’ comes out on August 18.
