How hard is it to win a Grammy? Does the Harvard of Music (aka Juilliard) . prepare musicians for a TikTok world? Will AI replace music? And what makes a band  (or any relationship) function well and drama-free? Also: how many people make up a band? ARKAI just won a freaking Grammy… and they’re still somehow normal, kind, and willing to explain the whole political process. Nayeema sits down with electroacoustic duo Jonathan Miron (violin) and Philip Sheegog (cello) to ask: how do you actually win? Is it talent, timing, manifestation… or basically a political campaign with better outfits?
