Description

In this special season finale of Music Business 101, I sit down with my friend and fellow Berklee student Kartik Kumar, whose journey from engineering and tech leadership to music is nothing short of inspiring. Born and raised in India, Kartik shares how his background in electronic engineering, startup sales, and military training ultimately led him to rediscover music as a personal and healing force—sparked by heartbreak and a secondhand guitar. We dive deep into the intersections between music, technology, personal growth, and spirituality. Kartik reflects on how tech sales and negotiation shaped his communication skills, and how discovering flamenco guitar opened up a whole new dimension of artistic identity. From AI, copyright law, and the future of creative industries, to ancient philosophy, neural networks, and the need for thoughtful innovation—this episode is a true journey through the past, present, and future. ✨ A rich conversation on navigating multiple worlds—tech, music, self-discovery—and what it really means to think, create, and evolve in a rapidly changing world.
