rosewater nyc by Sejal Kargal: A Music Festival that Feels Like Home

Hearing Sejal Kargal talk about community is to know that for her, it’s a lived practice. The artist, singer, and DJ has spent the past year building something bigger than herself. Since launching UNDEFINED in January 2025, she’s turned a creative idea into a national collective that uplifts historically underrepresented voices in music and nightlife. The platform doesn’t rely on corporate sponsors or hype. It runs on people. Self-funded, community-led, and intentionally inclusive.

“I’ve never felt like I belonged in any box,” she said. “I hated to confine myself to a genre or label. I wanted to be boundless.” That spirit of freedom is the foundation of UNDEFINED. It started as a mindset, a small symbol, and a promise to create without barriers. It grew into a movement for artists who refused to dilute themselves to fit in. “So many creatives are fed up with being told how to market themselves or how to present identity to get attention,” she explained. “I wanted to make space for people who didn’t want to play that game.”
