Download MP3
On February 1, 2026, InterVarsity Alumnus Philip Sheegog stood alongside his creative partner and bandmate, Jonathan Miron, and gave his acceptance speech in front of a crowded theater. Their string duo, Arkai, had just won the Grammy for 2025's Best Contemporary Instrumental Album; a crowning achievement for any musician. And as he continues to hold his calling with open hands, this Grammy win and all that follows is a crown Philip chooses to lay down in worship at the feet of Jesus.

Enjoy Philip's story as he reflects on his journey with Arkai, his Grammy win, and his transformational experience with InterVarsity through Juilliard Christian Fellowship!
