Dave Stringer
Dave Stringer has been profiled in Time, Billboard, In Style, and Yoga Journal as a leader of the new American kirtan movement, combining traditional Indian instruments and American gospel.
Initially trained as a visual artist and jazz musician, he first started chanting mantras when a film editing project brought him to the ashram of Swami Muktananda in India. Continuing his studies of the traditions of yoga under the guidance of Swami Chidvilasananda, he began teaching meditation to prison inmates and leading kirtan at yoga studios in the mid 1990s.
Stringer has collaborated on recordings with Donna De Lory, Vas, Rasa, Axiom of Choice, Suzanne Teng, and Sheila Nicholls, and has performed with other noted kirtan singers, Krishna Das and Jai Uttal. His voice can also be heard on the soundtracks of the film Matrix Revolutions and the video game Myst. Together with his band, Stringer tours throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Europe. |
