Inspired Artist Podcast Porter Singer

Radhika Vekaria's personal and artistic endeavours are a tribute to her namesake — also known as Radha — the Vedic goddess of unconditional love and devotion, and Lord Krishna’s greatest devotee. Her Indian, East African, and British roots have found full expression in her music as has the influence of the free-spirited women in her life, her mother and her two grandmothers, and her father, whose passion for classical and devotional Indian music stirred Radhika from infancy. In the present day, as an award winning multi-instrumental sensory artist, Radhika Vekaria channels healing for the future while pulling from traditions of the past.
 
UK born, with ancestry through East Africa, Radhika’s music falls between world music and textural soundscapes. Pushing boundaries of how ancient sacred music can be experienced and perceived, Radhika pulls audiences into a space where heart and mind conjoin.
 
Discovering purpose through art, Radhika brings a wealth of live performance to consciousness based music. After gracing stages in Europe with UK and world music artists and singing lead in the hit stage spectacular INDIA INDIA in Germany, she now resides in the United States. Her collaborations with LA based Grammy nominated producer George Landress (No Doubt, Snuffy Walden), Radhika's music are a powerful ode to her Indian roots, featuring ancient Sanskrit mantras, philosophies and storytelling enhanced by striking sound textures from lands touched by her ancestry. Radhika’s album ‘SAPTA: The Seven Ways’ established her as an innovative sacred music artist. In 2021 Radhika's sessions on the breakthrough audio app Clubhouse attracted over 100,000 listeners. She was then invited as a special guest performer for Roger Love's (America's no. 1 voice coach) Voice of Success conference. In 2022, Radhika became the first mantra artist at SXSW as well as performing the opening ceremony for the Gala for the International Center of Missing and Exploited Children (ICMEC) in New York - a global charity saving young children from danger and human trafficking. World renowned artist Jeff Koons featured Radhika's voice alongside those of Rihanna, Sir Paul McCartney and David Bowie for his recent 4 month groundbreaking exhibition 'Apollo' in Greece, with an exploration of the ancient world meeting the new.
 
Radhika has regularly supported organizations like Yoga Gives Back, All Love Kirtan UK, and Art of Living Global events. She has also performed for the likes of His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, and Deepak Chopra - singing and speaking passionately about the healing and transformational power of mantra to bring this ancient practice from the Vedic Sciences and its philosophies to new audiences everywhere. Radhika is the chosen voice of Chopra Yoga TT program 2023.

Shoshana Shangold (aka Sat Darshan Singh) and I collaborated on "THE MUSIC WITHIN" in 2011. The voice you hear at the end of "Bliss (I Am the Light of My Soul)" is Shoshana's. Listen here: https://youtu.be/qlDmb6Obh0w?si=l3ht4-w1M8STwVGj
Let it be known that the words being sung at the end are from ANAND SAHIB. It is a Sikh hymn that is often translated as "Song of Bliss" (hence it's use in the song).
Shoshana's new band is called Firebird FM. Check them out on TikTok here: https://www.tiktok.com/@firebirdfm

Christy helps people discover and process the unseen causes of the insecurity, disharmony, imbalance and anxiety that are blocking them from their innate potential. Through life experience, you have created mental constructs that have become self-limiting. To experience the unimaginable, you must uncover, redefine and process beliefs that stand between you and everything you truly want.

It was on a swing set in the 5th grade that Joe was deciding whether to be an artist or a musician.
He chose art.
Years later, after art school and studying with master painters, he found himself in the field of video games. He excelled in many roles such as animator, 3d modeler, texture artist, graphic designer, illustrator and concept artist.
He spent roughly 30 years in a field he never felt like he belonged in. There was no true passion for video games nor the popular culture they represented for him. But along the way, he continued to study traditional mediums, painting from both life and his imagination, seeing both as equally important skills. Joe also had immense interest in the more esoteric areas of psychology and personal development. He has studied many forms and disciplines of meditation, adopting and adapting from various styles and types he learned in meditation retreats and courses on his journey of self discovery. With the help of various plant medicines, he recovered from both childhood and adult traumas. Joe has always been willing and able to dive deep. With breakthroughs in limiting beliefs, Joe’s view is that one has to change and grow beyond the confines of culture and the validation of those around you. The balance of peace and tranquility in his life is the starting point. Creating from an open heart and expanded mind, Joe’s approach is to paint as unguarded as he is able.
This is the place he chooses to create from.
Tactful color harmony, composition, and mindful brushwork are the tools he uses to create evocative and atmospheric paintings that edge on the divine. Whether it’s surrealistic, impressionistic, or psychedelic, his visionary, colorful work is full of the love of himself, others and all that is.
In the end, his desire is that the awareness and love he brings to his paintings sparks you to see yourself and life in a new way.
