"But every time I try to hide, you find your way back in my life..."
Australian-born Premanjali, who is known to many as brilliant kirtan singer, is now making a debut with English lyrics and Western beats! Hands down, I'm a fan. Her soulful and slightly raspy voice will sweeten your day...
Dream collabo! Deep wisdom, harmonizing vocals and catchy melodies... You hear and feel the love in this project which is hopefully just the first of many to come!
If you don't know him already, you will now be submerged in his flow... Also he wrote a heart touching autobiography, teaches yoga and creates art 360 degrees!

Since his return from the monastery, Heaven X recorded his debut album "The Enlightenment LP" and launched a health + wellness startup that teaches children how to meditate. Support!
Groove machine with a lot of soul - Or soul inside a groove machine? Former monk from NYC. I'm still recovering from one of his shows with Antarma in London.
These three "modern-day gandharvas" spread high-intensity love and peace in their own unique electrifying kirtan style, usually accompanied by their wives and friends. Think Hare Krishna meets Hanson brothers meets Beastie Boys - there is one for every gop... err, groupie.
Also known as The Wicked Hangin Chads, this family band pretty much feels like family to me. Music is literally their life.
Reggae, Ska and Dub with a message for humanity. Shout out to mi corazón Carlos Pino on the bass.
This sweet and very talented family really knows how to blend ancient yoga verses with catchy music, like Bossa Nova! Father Nityananda (aka Artyom Hvans) is an expert Sanskrit teacher with his own online school - and he just released this new cool album, too!
Billy Holiday's soul in the body of a skinny young English lad? Yes, it's possible.
No words can do justice to this song and this epic video.
Dhanya is the daughter of two-time Latin Grammy winner Ilan Chester, and wife to musician Bali Rico from the Mayapuris. I warned you.
When we met in London "back in the day", this sweet soul literally saved my life and taught me one of the most important things in life: The mahamantra and to make music with my heart & soul.
London singer with talent from Outer Space. Mentored by Robbie Williams, then embarked on his own spiritual journey. Also check out his song "Swimming", it's one of my favorites.
I met this one of a kind singer after completing my yoga course in London (and she was about to start hers). Originally from Sweden, she is a star whose soulful music gets under your skin. Goosebumps every time.
Original eclectic American Music born out of an American experience. Songs by singer-songwriter/ guitarist Michael Cassidy and his partner in crime Joie Frye. His first release, "A Change of Heart" (1976), was a landmark album for this genre and a breakthrough for devotee songwriters.
Born and raised in South Africa, Simha MC from an early age recognized the absurdity of bodily consciousness and racial segregation. So even before his stopover in London, he started his journey of elevating his spiritual consciousness. Now he lives with his family in India where he continues to inspire with beats & bullets of Vedic wisdom. Mic drop, jaw drop.
Growing up in a mix of London street culture, spiritual circles, festivals and squats, Antarma first turned his energy to music & mantras to help him find strength to meet his own struggles. He's a full on power house! Check out his wise rhymes and his wild drumming!
Psychedelic rock band from the UK mixed and stirred with Ancient Indian philosophy. Yes, they still exist - thank God!
My favorite Beatle. Visionary, gentle, moving songwriter, singer, seeker and gardener! Don't miss to read his autobiography!
Legendary heart core punk rock from NY. Straight edge front singer Ray Cappo aka Raghunath Das now runs a successful podcast called "Wisdom of the Sages" and teaches yoga. Highly recommended, also for softies like me. If you like more hardcore check out the band "108".
Sri & Joakin are high energy! Watch out for EDM, electro kirtan and a lot of fun.
Before we met, I already knew and cherished his music and art work so much. Brillant lyrics and dope beats that reflect a beautiful mind and wisdom beyond his years.
The Norah Jones of Croatia! Signed to Aquarius Records Zagreb she sings in the local Croatian language, but those who understand, they will understand. And those who don't speak Croatian will still appreciate her mesmerizing voice and beautiful music videos.
Tiefsinnige Texte mit Charme und Humor (ja, auf Deutsch).
Sein Album hatte ich auf Dauerschleife. Hier einer meiner Lieblingssongs ("Endstation").
