As one of today's leading producers,\xa0Sehgal's award-winning recording catalog reflects a career spotlighting political and social issues voiced through the mediums of big band jazz and working with soul/R&B stars such as\xa0Jon Batiste\xa0(featured on\xa0Sehgal's 2020 production,\xa0Swing States: Harmony in the Battleground). He has also made four albums as an artist with meditation pioneer\xa0Deepak Chopra, including\xa0Spiritual Warrior.\xa0

Threshold\xa0takes\xa0Sehgal\xa0into the pop music realm with the same premise as his latest recordings: to project personal stories that must be heard by the masses.\xa0Sehgal\xa0is renowned for traveling to the U.S.-Mexico border with Arturo O'Farrill to film the feature documentary and 2-CD recording,\xa0Fandango at the Wall\xa0(HBO).

Threshold\xa0marks\xa0Sehgal's foray into Pop/EDM production featuring brilliant BIPOC vocalists each offering divergent perspectives on love's many languages. London-born\xa0Sonna Rele\xa0sings of a magical kiss and sleepless nights in the Big Apple on "Somewhere Between 5th and Madison." Emotive vocals meet multi-synth arrangements for a DJ-ready track for NYC's bars and clubs. Rele got signed by\xa0Ne-Yo\xa0to his\xa0Motown Records\xa0and has worked with\xa0John Legend, Maxi Priest, Wyclef Jean,\xa0and\xa0Michael Franti. Rele brings her A-game to "Somewhere Between 5th and Madison," a song by acclaimed songwriter\xa0Greer Baxter\xa0that is about the highs and lows of love in Manhattan. Baxter wrote the first, second, and fourth songs of the EP, and co-wrote the third one, and she's known for her "Line in the Sand" which\xa0Mandy Gonzalez\xa0of\xa0Hamilton\xa0performed on the album,\xa0Fandango at the Wall.\xa0

While in the studio producing\xa0Threshold,\xa0Sehgal\xa0has presented more than 100 concerts in 77 days with his nightly "Quarantine Series" that's garnered more than 4 million views on Facebook.\xa0
