Our conversation will dive into Radhika’s new soul-stirring single, “Kali,” an anthem celebrating the power of the feminine divine. As a teacher of Sound Coaching, Radhika will offer insights into harnessing the transformative and healing vibrations of your own voice to shape your reality—a concept as ancient as it is groundbreaking, a notion echoed by quantum physicists and ancient seers alike.

Despite facing a lifelong speech impediment, Radhika courageously turned to music as her voice, stating, “While words struggled, music effortlessly carried them.” With a career that has seen her grace stages from Europe to the United States and collaborations with Grammy-nominated producers like George Landress, she continues to inspire audiences globally. Recently, Radhika has been a commanding presence in the digital realm, amassing over 100,000 listeners on Clubhouse and sharing the stage with legends like Rihanna and Sir Paul McCartney.

From her early exposure to classical Indian music, led by her father’s passion, to her transformative album ‘SAPTA: The Seven Ways,’ Radhika is more than a musician; she’s a healer, an advocate, and a spiritual guide. “I don’t make music for you to see me. I make music for you to see yourself,” she asserts. Don’t miss this opportunity to explore the vast universe of sound and its life-changing possibilities. Tune in as we unravel the layers of Radhika Vekaria’s multifaceted artistry and commitment to global causes like Yoga Gives Back and Art of Living Global events.
