What does it really take to build a music career, and stay true to yourself along the way?

In the Season Three finale of Mindful Makers, guitarist, composer, and entrepreneur Niki Mukhi shares his journey from global stages to self-discovery. A PRS Pulse Artist and multi-genre musician, Niki has performed at Glastonbury Festival, the Cologne Philharmonic, and Mumbai’s NMACC, composed for international theatre and film, and collaborated with artists including Joss Stone, Yasmin Levy, Ustad Aashish Khan and many more.

He’s also brought his sound to brands like Hermès, Chanel, and Dior, showing how creativity can thrive at the crossroads of art, business, and purpose.

In our conversation, Niki opens up about the mindset shifts that helped him navigate challenges, stay grounded through change, and build a sustainable career as an independent artist.

✨ We explore:
• How to balance creativity with structure and self-discipline
• What it means to be the “CEO” of your own career
• Why curiosity and kindness matter as much as talent
• The difference between performing, creating, and truly being in the music

Whether you’re a musician, creative entrepreneur, or simply someone looking to reconnect with your craft, this episode is a soulful reminder that growth and purpose can coexist...if you learn to treat your art like a living, evolving practice.
