Miten
Artist Bio:
Miten, originally from Britain, began as a singer-songwriter-guitarist in the 70's, opening for such groups as Fleetwood Mac and Ry Cooder. He then discovered the power of meditation and left the world of rock ‘n’ roll behind. Miten has a number of albums of original songs, including STRENGTH OF A ROSE (with Deva Premal), Dance of Life and BLOWN AWAY.
Miten and Premal met at an ashram in India in 1990. While Deva Premal’s name is more widely known, their partnership is deep and strong. “Miten and I have been living and playing together for 11 years,” she says. “Everything we do, we do together. This is why I always say ‘us’ and ‘we’. Our nourishment and life’s work is to create spaces around the planet where the silence that follows the chant is clearly tangible. We share with others the healing power of the voice…and the bliss that it brings.”
Adds Miten: "Over the past 10 years we have devoted our lives to the expression of love and gratitude through music. Our music is not intended as entertainment. The true purpose is to awaken a longing in the heart for that which is omnipresent: the experience of silence and meditation.” Planetary musicians who spend their lives touring the world, Deva Premal & Miten have performed in the US, Japan, Europe, Asia, Brazil, Canada and Australia.
