Kalyani
Sound ON/ OFF
Award winning musician/songwriter Kalyani has devoted her life and her art to the
awakening of Spirit within herself and others.
"A perfect vehicle for her uplifting music, Kalyani's voice transports her audience into a world of intimate spirituality," says Grammy award winning producer Charles Michael Brotman, President of Palm Records and Lava Tracks Recording. Kalyani's inspiring contemporary style has been described as "sacred song." Her lyrics and melodies invoke our deepest human longings and our highest spiritual aspirations.
Kalyani co-produced her first album, The Sky Inside (2003) with Christopher Krotky(Christopher K) of 7 Generations Studios and the San Francisco Bay Area bands Bhakti and Stellamara. The CD also features Robert Powell of the world music/electronica band, The Venusians.
A prolific artist and musician, she soon released Into the True Blue (2004), Omachi (2005) and The Breath is My Prayer (2007).
Dr. Hank Wesselman, author of the Spiritwalker trilogy and The Journey to the Sacred Garden, pronounced, "Kalyani has a powerful gift!" Kalyani's lyrics give us a guide to her process in revealing this gift:
"I make the choice for the voice of truth inside me. When I listen to the voice of truth, it guides me. The meaning of creation is Harmony" (lyrics fromCome into the Light).
Although Kalyani performs for many spiritually-attuned gatherings, religious groups, and for weddings in addition to her work as a recording artist. her music transcends any one genre or religious path. Reverend Gary Layman of the Center for Spiritual Living in Waikoloa, Hawaii, describes Kalyani's impact on his group this way:
"The combination of her original lyrics, melodies, and angelic voice, has often left our members transfixed with appreciation. I highly recommend her to anyone that wishes to inspire and bless any gathering. "
Reverend Dana St. Claire of Maylaigh Ministries described Kalyani as
"Insightful, Deep Certainty, Groovy."
Reverend Scott Larson summed it up by saying,
"Kalyani is one of those artists who can take you to a place of sacred stillness."
Kalyani is currently recording a new album , kalyani: bliss, set for release in Fall, 2009, and is also recording, an album of lullabys and affirmations, a crystallized transmission of emotion through song.
Throughout her evolving body of work, Kalyani seems to distill music to its exultant essence and we experience one soul's journey into the Light.
