What does it really take to live a creative life — when followers, algorithms, and AI keep redefining your worth? Jazz musician, tabla artist, and Rootstock Arts founder Sameer Gupta joins Deepa Janakiraman on Built by Grit for an honest conversation about music, identity, and grit.
Sameer shares his journey from growing up as the son of Indian immigrants in the Bay Area, to studying jazz at Santa Clara University, performing as a professional jazz musician in San Francisco and New York, learning tabla later in life, and co-building Brooklyn Raga Massive — a community that re-imagined how Indian classical music is presented in the West.
