Celebrating World Music Day, Navjot told Zoom that he grew up listening to Bollywood music and rock bands like The Local Train. When asked how social media virality has changed the meaning of music for him, the singer said, “Social media virality has changed the way music is discovered and consumed, but it hasn’t changed what music means to me or anything about my writing process. For me, music is still a form of expression and a way of processing emotions. Virality can help a song reach more people, and that’s a beautiful thing, but I don’t think the value of a song should be determined by how many views or shares it gets. Music, to me, is about honesty and connection, not trends and algorithms.”
