Nistha Raj‘s solo debut album, Exit 1, transports us to a place where worlds collide in the best way possible. While drawing on her training in Hindustani music she breaks the rules by adding cello, guitar and piano to complement the sound of her five-string violin.

In this podcast, Nistha talks about her training in the U.S. and India, her approach to the arrangements that we hear on the album and the landscape for artists in this country as they struggle to share their artistic work.
