Three Generations. One Purpose. Music. with Suraj Bhartti | Project Life with Simply Pankaj (SP18)
What if the surname you carry is also a song you must keep alive? What if real success is staying a student, even when the world calls you a teacher? What if healing others begins with riyaaz that heals you first?
In this episode, SimplyPankaj sits down with Suraj Bhartti — a Dubai-based, third-generation musician; grandson of Pandit Anand Kumar C and son of Shri Shailendra Kumar Bhartti — to explore how legacy, learning, and livelihood can live in harmony. From desert nights and studio days to clients, visas, rent, and community, Suraj opens up about the solopreneur grind, his work as a music healer and teacher, and why he chooses growth over glory by remaining a learner, always.
Whether you’re a music lover, a Dubai creative, or a working professional nurturing a craft on the side, this conversation is a gentle reminder: your art can coexist with your life.
