Album Notes

Prem is a chant album from the sacred writings of the Sikhs to experience love, deep love. It is the love that you have the courage and wisdom to feel in yourself for yourself, it is the love that God feels for you.

Prem is created so that anyone can take it, listen to it, chant with it, and be with it. It is called Prem because in the beautiful process of figuring out which mantras to do, creating the tunes, and bringing them to the studio it gave me a deep sense of self love and healing. May it also bring self-love and healing into your life.

Snatam Kaur was born and raised with yoga and meditation as a daily practice as taught by Yogi Bhajan. She received musical training all throughout school in violin, voice, and percussion. Upon graduating high school she lived in India and studied with masters of the Sikh traditional style of music called Gurbani Kirtan. With her meditative practice and musical training she combined these two streams of disciplines into creating devotional music.

She has shared her music throughout the world on Gurbani Kirtan tours to Great Britain, Canada, and India. She has also shared her music in many workshops for people committed to working for social change with an organization founded by her father Sat Santokh Singh which is called Creating Our Future. Creating Our Future has given thousands of people the skills to work for social change with notable speaker/teachers such as Ram Dass and Julia Butterfly.

Snatam has released three major albums and numerous mantra albums with a music group called Peace Family. These albums have focused on spiritually uplifting themes. Specifically one of her most significant releases to date is called "To Heaven and Beyond" which is a collection of mantras from the major religions of the world woven into one beautiful tapestry of music and sound. Her ability to transport people into the realm of the heart and spirit through music is her gift. Her solo album entitled "Prem" is a collection of mantras inspired by her journey to create and find Self Love. This is truly something from her soul.
