New Album Coming Soon!

2018 SINGLES is exactly that – a collection of six tracks created with producer Ben Leinbach and released during 2018 and early 2019. These six Kirtan songs traverse a wide swath of musical genres – including Funk, Soul, R&B/Motown, World, and Indian Classical Music – that seamlessly integrate timeless Sanskrit mantras (from India) with modern Western grooves. The end product are a half dozen infectious and highly accessible chants that will guide you through your heart to the Heart of the Divine. Enjoy!
