KIRTAN CONCERTS 

Kirtan is call-and-response singing of devotional music. It is an integral part of Bhakti yoga, the yoga of love and devotion. Kirtan invokes the transformational power of sound vibration to still the mind and awaken the heart center. It is uplifting and healing. It unites people of all faiths and backgrounds into a unified field of oneness through which we experience the love and joy inherent to our inner-most beings. 

Darren discovered the path of Bhakti yoga and Kirtan while attending classes in Santa Monica. The sacred chants stilled his mind, opened his heart, and led him to a profound knowing that his journey as a musical artist would be forever changed. Soon after, Darren began combining his songwriting with ancient mantras from various traditions. He has been riding the bhakti wave of love and devotion ever since.

As a devotional Kirtan artist and singer/songwriter, Darren has had a rich and eclectic musical career with more than 30 original songs featured in film and television. Harboring a deep commitment to the awakening of our true-selves through the power of sound, he is devoted to sharing his unique blend of pop/folk inspired melodies and sacred chants with as many people as possible around the world. He currently leads a monthly kirtan at Yoga Soup in Santa Barbara and shares his mantra music at yoga studios, yoga festivals, music festivals, and other conscious event venues
