Breath, go inwards and let the moment envelop you. 

"Forget yourself and become the universe" is an ambient piece that is part of my Yoga & Meditation series it features Eastern Influences from India, Nepal, Myanmar and China.

forget yourself and become the universe

The ancient Hare Krishna chant is the focal point of this devotional, spiritual track. The piece culminates in an epic crescendo of layered ecstatic repetition, uniquely fused with operatic vocals. This track is for Meditation, Kirtan, Yoga and people who generally enjoy Eastern music with Soul.

I recently worked on the production of ‘Swagatam’ (Invitation) for the Mahotsav (Festival) for the Swaminarayan Bhuj Mandir, India. Working with the fantastic team from Willesden Mandir - London, we were able to create this wonderful musical invite to the festival. The piece was recorded at my London studio and the video has been created by the global community of devotees. The Mahotsav is happening 18th - 26th April 2023 and with 3 million attendees expected, it’s going to be an epic celebration!

Swagatam 2023

"Pruthvi" is a piece that was  originally composed for the Kathak Rang Manch of Pruthvi Mayur Trivedi. 

Pruthvi is also a brilliant visual artist and has created the artwork for this collaboration.

 "Pruthvi" which translates to "Mother Earth," is a cinematic composition that marries Indian percussive vocals with Celtic vocals in a one-of-a-kind fusion, brimming with intense passion and emotion. Crafted with dance enthusiasts in mind, this track is designed to make your feet move to its rhythm.

Lyrics Translation:
The time of happiness is here
Beside it are treasures of love
May you keep smiling always, may you always shine
May you dwell in my heart till the end of time

You are my heart, my love, my life
All I am I lay down for you.
My love, my heart, my life
I sacrifice everything for you.

Your face is more beautiful than blossoms 
You glow like the light of the moon, 
My heart desires only our bond
You, the object of my love
Reign over my heart
May you keep smiling always, may you always shine
May you dwell in my heart till the end of time.

Today I'm announcing a brand new project - and releasing the first track in a new series. Recently, meditation has become an essential part of my life and, drawing from my own experiences, I've created a project to make a fully rounded soundtrack for meditation and yoga. The first track, 'Yogasana One', is an instrumental piece, with peace at its heart. Enjoy!

This is a track that I created during lockdown. The Covid-19 pandemic has really been sobering. It has made me think about the things that are really important in life - gratitude, simplicity and just BEING happy instead of seeking things to be happy about. Happy Is The Man Who Is Nothing is about letting go, being in the moment and accepting the reality for what it is instead of how we would like it to be.
