Bachan Kaur (Madeleine) lives a life fueled by creativity, spirit and service to the evolution of consciousness. The power in her music lies in its purity - vibrating as a living prayer, evoking deep states of healing and love.
She is constantly exploring the creative expression of her music whether its ambient angelic trance and mantra, upbeat electronic dance, playful soul and hip hop or simple, yet stirring acoustic songwriting. The common thread is her voice - intimate and innocent, sacred and deep, ethereal and angelic - always straight from the heart.As a self-taught musician, her music is born from within. Her love of singing really blossomed when she found Kundalini Yoga at the age of 18. It gave her soul a voice and she dove deep into a daily practice and the mystical music of the Sikh path. She received the destiny name "Bachan Kaur" (pronounced ba~chin core) meaning "princess of promise". She has been a student and teacher of Kundalini Yoga and the sound current for the past 11 years, self-producing 4 albums and leading groups in music, meditation and ceremony. Bachan is deeply devoted to the Divine Feminine and stewardship of the earth. Her birth name Madeleine keeps her rooted in the ancient ways of the Goddess, and she has been trained and ordained as a shamanic Magdelene Priestess over the past 3 years. She's also continually exploring and developing her passions of sacred dance, visual art and permaculture.
This summer Bachan is sharing live sacred music with Livtar (www.livtarmusic.com) in the United States, and has just completed her first collaborative EP with Bloomington producer Mahan Kalpa Singh, entitled "MADA love" to be released summer solstice 2011.
As a musician, artist, woman and huemanbeing, she is committed to living a life of self-love, authenticity, joy and evolution. It is her prayer that in doing so, it will inspire others and contribute to the awakening of divine consciousness on earth.
"Through all the twists, turns, trials and tribulations ~ all the beauty, love, celebration and togetherness of life,
one thing that remains consistent is my profound love and awe for the power of music to transform consciousness.
I experience singing, dancing and all forms of creative expression as a magical medicine. They weave the seen and unseen worlds, integrating reality and liberating our being from the constant dualities of life. Creativity creates a sacred container for the expression of all things hidden below the surface and restores wholeness. I've walked many paths, searching for ways to live a life of love, service, authenticity and inspiration. They are all good - but at the end of the day, it's sound for me, that is the heart of creation. It moves all things and makes me smile. And I've noticed that when I smile and dance, the universe and all its infinite forms of life are smiling, singing and dancing with me."
