“High energy, ecstatic chanting at its best.” 
-- Yoga Journal

"Dave Stringer has integrated his interest in Kirtan, an Indian tradition of  devotional chanting, with his masterful grasp of Western popular music, creating an exciting style of psychedelic pop as informed by traditional Eastern music as the Beatles." 
-- All Music Guide

“A volcano of a voice! Stringer transported us to another time and place.  His fiery, soulful voice gave the entire room a feeling of a down-home gospel jam and one could not help but sing along.”  
-- LA Yoga Magazine

“A departure from ancient kirtan. Stringer’s performance shaped the experience into a far more compelling musical encounter.” 
– The Los Angeles Times

Trust. No plans for the future. Go with the flow. Not exactly catch phrases for today’s calculating, media savvy and self-promoting generation of musical artists, but a way of life for singer-songwriter Alexia Chellun. Eight albums into a productive 12 year journey, she has ridden her wave of trusting and practicing life from a different angle into an entirely new recording experience that has yielded her latest EP, Who Am I? 

As a performing artist Chellun has the ability and patience to follow her instincts without expecting immediate results. This doesn’t mean Chellun lacks a diligent work ethic, but substantiates her belief that having a plan is not necessarily a guarantee for success. Chellun says she “ doesn’t exactly have a ‘calculated vision’, or a lyrical agenda, but she trusts her creative process and that her artistic unpredictability will lead her where she needs to be at any given moment. I’m relaxed. I’m not trying. I’m just singing!” Chellun effortlessly switches between traditional song-writing and the more structured mantra based recordings and she admits the creative process still confuses the hell out of her. “It's all about flow and wherever it takes me I follow.” 
Throughout her song-writing, Chellun exhibits a unique melodic pop sensibility combined with lyrical themes that examine the human race, consciousness, and awareness. She makes an unarguable point when she says “Oneness has no genre.” 

Letting go of constraints, welcoming new experiences without expectation, self exploration, and complete trust in the creative process have been the cornerstones of Chellun’s musical philosophy and life. Her deep and soulful vocals, uncluttered arrangements, and natural dynamics are the perfect companions for her enlightening observations.
