About Me

ABOUT ME

I am a 37 yr old yogi, professional photographer & working musician of 20 yrs from Burlington, Ontario. I perform live at yoga studios with my band, kirtan, and solo mantra-based music all around Ontario & into the United States.

The intention of the mantra music, which I am most passionate about, is simple: to create community, healing, empowerment & well-being through the universal language/vibration of live music, combined with yoga practice. The website link is listed here on CS.

Basically, I spend my life doing what I love! When we love our life, what we do, and have fullfillment and happiness in many moments, what else more could one want?

I am the co-founder/organizer of a yoga & music festival Anandafest, a grassroots lifestyle music/yoga & bhakti festival.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life in the moment, art, music, these things make life beautiful, and perfect. I build community with what I do, and am always so thankful to see new places."What we think, we become" — Buddha Siddhartha Guatama Shakyamuni"Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors where there were only walls."— Joseph Campbell"Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited."—Albert Einstein"Wheresoever you go, go with all your heart."—Confucius

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Headed to California twice in 2012 to record a record with a grammy-nominated producer, and performed at Bhaktifest, a massive international music festival. I feel that the journey is only just beginning of meeting great people all around the world. Life is a gift...
