An Inspired Chat with BalJit (please capitalize the J) Soul of Tempe

We recently had the chance to connect with BalJit (please capitalize the J) Soul and have shared our conversation below.

Good morning BalJit (please capitalize the J), it’s such a great way to kick off the day – I think our readers will love hearing your stories, experiences and about how you think about life and work. Let’s jump right in? What do the first 90 minutes of your day look like?
The first 90.. Morning routine shower , and blast Beyoncé , Ari Lennox , Cleo Soul and tune out the world

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
BalJit Soul – A muse! I’d like to think of myself as an alien here on earth to show the beauty in being DIFFERENT! With each day I’m granted access to LIFE I live learn , I cry I laugh , I struggle I succeed and I NEVER give up! A bit of humble mixed with just a tad more cocky, loving ,kind, gentle , tough emotional alien! Just as the rest trying my best to leave my mark on the planet connecting to each soul on an unforgettable level! Using my art (Singing) as a universal language! A singer/songwriter and performer!!! Loving fashion and all forms of ART! I try to be that light that shines in beautiful rays of COLOR standing out imperfectly perfect!

Amazing, so let’s take a moment to go back in time. What relationship most shaped how you see yourself?
Honestly SELF! Reflecting on the past trauma I’ve had within putting more into others than SELF! I had to realize nobody alive was going to love me the way I needed to be loved! Nobody was going to have my back the way I needed! No body was going to believe in me the way I needed! Nobody was going to uplift me the way I needed! Once I realized it wasn’t anybody’s responsibility to do what I NEEDED I had to build that relationship with MYSELF first !!

What did suffering teach you that success never could?
You HAVE TO! It’s not something you can skip! Although most of us would like to you just can’t! There is COLOR that comes out of suffering! It hurts it gets dark it gets lonely! However you fight you listen to your favorite whatever (song, podcast, preacher) you cry u shut out the noise u pray and YOU SHINE BRIGHT! Success only shows u the good side so it can be misleading when you think those colors just shine automatically

Alright, so if you are open to it, let’s explore some philosophical questions that touch on your values and worldview. Is the public version of you the real you?
Well most people think it’s a joke however I am 1000% an alien and once the world understands that they will see the TRUE ME

Okay, so let’s keep going with one more question that means a lot to us: When do you feel most at peace?
When I’m on stage ! When I’m singing in any setting surrounded by ART
