Ricky Kej acknowledges that music, especially instrumental music, is considered a great companion for individuals going about mundane tasks. “A lot of people listen to it in the background, while doing chores like cooking or driving, or indulging in conversation. But it’s important for a listener to actually surrender to the music. If someone could take time off, sit with closed eyes, and surrender to it for an hour, [they will benefit]. I guarantee that anyone who does that while listening to this album from the beginning to the end will be led on an introspective journey. They [will] come out far more joyous than they were before they heard it,” says Kej, who brings ancient Vedic music to the masses with Break of Dawn. 

In this interview, the multiple Grammy winner discusses turning his attention to the wellness music space, and drawing from his life’s experiences to evoke emotions via the album.
