About Me

Girish's life journey has been marked by a series of profound transformations, unified by an underlying journey toward purpose. He has gone from aspiring jazz drummer to renunciant Hindu monk to first call tabla guru for the likes of Krishna Das to solo mantra troubadour, and he's not done yet.It should come as no surprise then that Girish's latest CD, SHIVA MACHINE is all radical departure and simultaneous next step evolution. The musics mesmerizing trance-funk grooves and trip-hop devotional dirges boldly go where Sanskrit has never gone before. And while Producer Herb Graham, Jr's slinky grooves and Girish's smoky baritone feel and sound effortless, Girish reveals a process that wasn't always comfortable "I knew I wanted to make a record that would reach out across the yoga divide. Then, as Shiva Machine started up, it became clear how much the music would ask of me. How much could I expand and surrender to let it come through? I felt like a woman in labor, learning to trust a process much bigger than me."If you want a taste of what boundless aesthetic possibilities sound like when they collide with Sanskrit chant, Shiva Machine is your masterpiece. Have a listen and see if you agree: Mantra was never the same again.To see Girish's complete Discography go here
