About Jai-Jagdeesh:
Jai-Jagdeesh’s journey as a singer began nearly 25 years ago, in a temple in India. Spending her formative years in Northern India – and traveling as a musical representative of Yogi Bhajan’s foreign education program – set the foundation for a deep connection to the sacred texts of the Kundalini yoga tradition & the Sikh faith.
Between then and now, her creative spirit has walked many artistic paths: actress, classical Indian dancer, photographer, and writer. With music now at the forefront, Jai-Jagdeesh is effervescently expressive: Her journeying as a spiritual nomad coupled with a devotion to mantra and meditation has resulted in the creation of several acclaimed studio albums and meditation CDs, each one full of deep, transformative resonance.
With this dazzling new music and with two books up her sleeves, Jai-Jagdeesh continues to inspire and connect with audiences worldwide, sharing songs and stories from the very center of her heart.
In a beautifully bold and vulnerable declaration of the glory of being human, “Down Come The Walls” explores divinity, passion, heartbreak, and authenticity in an exquisite musical journey.
In this, Jai-Jagdeesh’s third studio album, she has surrounded herself with a creative team of multi-instrumental masters to provide an impeccable and dynamic current for her potent voice to sail on. The barriers of genre and classification swiftly fall by the wayside as she flawlessly merges sacred mantra and poetry with a vast variety of influences, including Jeff Buckley, Nina Simone, and Amy Winehouse, while subtly nodding to impressionist classical composers and jazz greats.
Jai-Jagdeesh is unabashedly herself, admitting her perceived flaws and courageously embracing them as opportunities for greater love.
It is said that a person’s cracks are where the light gets in. In this case, Jai-Jagdeesh has decisively demolished her entire facade to reveal a blazing majesty that is nothing short of magnificent.
