It’s my honor to welcome SURJ back to the podcast, this time to discuss his work as a solo artist. Listen as we discuss what music means to him and how being a musician “masks” his autistic traits.
SURJ on The Light Between the Oceans
SURJ BIO:
As much as he’s known for creating soundtracks to people’s daily lives, SURJ asserts himself as a storyteller, first and foremost. His songs continue to engage audiences everywhere by converting the magic around him into anthems we can all sing. After introducing himself with his debut album, All Things True, he landed a global smash with the band Space Between Us in the form of “Filter” and “Paris In Spring.” SURJ is kicking off 2023 with an entirely new chapter of music that celebrates the importance of living in the now and untangling the complexities of life. Hear his most personal story yet on his second full-length solo album, The Light Between the Oceans.
The Light Between the Oceans is an anthem of hope for uncertain times. So many of us walk around with more than we can carry. Being our adult selves can be so different from what we thought our adult selves would be like. Realizing growing up is not what we thought it was, life will not look the way we think it is, and even when it does, it doesn’t make us happy. Realizing the ultimate light in our lives, it is crucial to avoid just running through the motions. This snapshot, I pray, gives you a reservoir of hope based on a foundation full of light.
