Vijay Krsna was initiated into Bhakti-Yoga at the young age of 11. The very first order from his beloved Guru was to “always be engaged in Kirtan”. From that time on he has been traveling the world with various spiritual teachers learning the depth of this art and developing great expertise on the Mrdanga drum. He has also spent extensive time in India studying vocal in the various Kirtan styles from holy men, mendicants, temple monks, villagers and singing strangers. Now having absorbed the essence of his study, he has developed a synergy between these styles of Kirtan, bringing with it mood, depth and passion. 

Vijay studied Kirtan in the sacred village of Vrindavan, India and grew up singing in ashrams & temples in India and the West. He leads the Kirtaniyas - a global collective of musicians, producers and dancers. The Kirtaniyas tour the world infusing new life to ancient chants with youthful spirit and energy. They have recorded a number of albums that push the boundaries of genre: melodious electronic dance music and subsonic bass meet the call and response singing of ancient Sanskrit mantras and live acoustic instruments.
