Drive to Karnal with Divyam Sodhi, his red wall and 'Kaise Ho Tum' | Introductions Ep. 03 | SOOKA

In this episode of Introductions, we spend a day driving down to Karnal with Divyam Sodhi, his hometown and the place where he makes his best music.

Divyam is a third-generation musician, growing up in a musically inclined family. He began singing at seven, and appeared in a Punjabi music reality show by the age of eight. While he spends a lot of his time in Mumbai and Delhi now for work, he keeps going back to his home in Karnal to slow down, and make music.

He showed us his red wall, which as it turns out, is just a backdrop he has created to record content for social media. He also gave us a beautiful, acoustic performance of his track, 'Kaise Ho Tum', twice.

If you love India’s indie wave, poetic songwriting, or just want to see where music begins before it hits the stage, this one’s for you.
