Three-time Grammy-winning Indian composer Ricky Kej has again received international recognition with a Grammy nomination for his latest album, Break of Dawn, at the upcoming 2025 Grammy Awards. Kej, who has previously won three Grammy Awards, continues to break new ground in music, social impact, and health, as this album combines his passion for music with his commitment to mental wellness. This is the first solo Grammy nomination for an Indian artist since the great Pandit Ravi Shankar and the only one from India this year.
Break of Dawn is a New Age album inspired by ancient Indian Raags, crafted to promote mental health and wellness. Its focus on India-rooted wellness music addresses the global burden of mental health conditions.
Break of Dawn is the debut release from Vedam Records, a new wellness music label launched by Universal Music Group, India, in collaboration with Ricky Kej. Vedam Records has partnered with Kej to leverage his expertise in music and wellness. In the U.S., Vedam Records is represented by the Verve Label Group.
This fourth Grammy® nomination is a testament to Kej’s influence and innovation in the Indian music industry as he aims to inspire listeners and the medical community to explore music’s healing power.
