Kirtan with Dave Stringer & Friends

International musician – widely profiled as an innovative artist of the modern Chant movement.
Dave Stringer is a producer, musician and songwriter who has been widely profiled as one of the most innovative artists of the modern Yoga movement.

Bhakti Without Borders, an album he produced, was nominated for a Grammy in 2016. He is currently nominated in 2023 as an artist in the Best New Age, Ambient or Chant Album category for Mantra Americana, along with his collaborator Madi Das.

❝Dave Stringer has integrated his interest in Kirtan, an Indian tradition of devotional chanting, with his masterful grasp of Western popular music, creating an exciting style of psychedelic pop as informed by traditional Eastern music as the Beatles.❞

Dave Stringer

Dave Stringer is a Grammy®-nominated producer, singer, songwriter and innovative modern Kirtan artist, profiled in publications all over the world. Stringer’s sound connects the transcendent mysticism of traditional Indian instruments with the exuberant, groove-oriented sensibility of American Gospel and the ringing harmonies of Appalachia. He is currently featured in the documentary films Mantra: Sounds into Silence and The Power of Mantra. 

Initially trained as a visual artist, filmmaker and jazz musician, Stringer’s focus shifted significantly after video editing work brought him to an ashram in India in 1990. It has also been informed by a subsequent period of service teaching meditation to prison inmates and expanded by his interest and research in neuroscience.

❝A volcano of a voice! Stringer transported us to another time and place. His fiery, soulful voice gave the entire room a feeling of a down-home gospel jam and one could not help but sing along.❞
~ LA Yoga Magazine
