Ajeet Kaur
Ajeet Kaur is a recording artist, a yogi, and a carrier of ancient healing practices. A fresh new presence in the world of sacred chant, she makes music that has quickly found its way into the hands of thousands around the world, bringing with it a sense of sacred space and an opening to healing. Growing up in both the United States and Ireland in a musical and spiritual home, Ajeet was drawn into the magic of sacred music at a young age, falling in love with the stories and mystery of many sacred traditions.
Ajeet has released five albums so far, reaching #1 on the iTunes world chart and Billboard Top 10 New Age chart. Collaborators include Snatam Kaur, Trevor Hall, and Peia. Ajeet now travels the world sharing music and healing practices at her concerts, workshops, and retreats. With her sixth and latest album, Indigo Sea, Ajeet widens her path of loving music born in her studies of traditional Indian and Irish music alongside other folk traditions and Western musical styles. Although the form of Ajeet’s offering is music, her yoga and healing practices are central to her life and work. She blends the healing power of ancient mantras with an enlivened and unique contemporary style, leaving her audiences with a deep sense of peace.
Indigo Sea is a meeting of waters, weaving together Ajeet’s roots in Irish song with an intimate and honest poetic journey. This selfproduced album gathers renowned musicians including Leahsong and Chloe Smith of Rising Appalachia (vocals), Minük (vocal), Seamus Egan (flute, whistle), Todd Boston (guitar), Bogdan Djukic (violin), Maneesh de Moor (flute, percussion), Ezra Landis (guitar, kalimba), Raffa Martinez (percussion), Sukhmani Kaur Rayat (percussion), and Sarah Siri Kirtan Carlisle (bass). The result blends melodic textures with rich expansive soundscapes. Recorded in Ireland, Colombia, Chile, Mexico, and elsewhere, the songs are nature-inspired, bringing forth the elements of earth, wind, and fire on this global journey of songs for the sea. Filled with light and grace, Indigo Sea carries the flame that burns bright within this uniquely gifted artist. AjeetMusic.com
