Sahej makes a striking return with his third single ‘Not Yet’. At just 19, he juggles life as a singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist while delving into Neuroscience at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor. His songs are fueled by a desire to ease the pain of others, shaped by his own struggles and a universal quest for understanding, meaning, and the bravery to move past fear. Whether in the lab or the studio, Sahej’s work is united by a deep fascination with human emotion, experience, and the longing to be seen.

‘Not Yet’ gently blooms atop a looping acoustic guitar arpeggio, with delicate piano lines threading through its heart. Sweeping strings unfurl across the soundscape, layered vocals rise and fall in subtle waves, and understated drums ground the track beneath textured synths. The production breathes, giving Sahej’s hushed vocals space to radiate. The song echoes the emotional worlds of Joji, Keshi, Billie Eilish, and Bryant Barnes, yet Sahej’s voice remains unmistakably his own. Lyrically, it is an honest confrontation with fear, choosing to face it rather than yield. After months refining an earlier version, Sahej stepped away for a family break, only to return and find the song had lost its spark. Wandering off with his guitar, a new melody emerged, carrying a line that felt universally true: “I’m not ready.”

This new material blossomed into ‘Not Yet’, a testament to fears gathered over time and the unwavering drive that outlasts them. The track holds a snapshot of vulnerability, yet insists that ‘purpose’ persists even after the moment passes. In both his studies and his music, Sahej explores what people endure and what helps them feel truly seen.​

Sahej had this to say: “It’s a testament to the fears I have accumulated throughout my life, and the fact that my purpose will not change no matter how afraid I am. It’s in essence a song about admitting to a moment of weakness, and that the job will still be done once that moment subsides.”
