Ram Dass Khalsa, known professionally as Ram Dass, creates music that is spiritually and emotionally restorative. His music opens the heart and stirs the soul. As a producer, multi-instrumentalist, and songwriter, he inspires a unique potency through collaboration and improvisation that creates art greater than the sum of its parts. His constant dedication to render the beauty of human experience, triumph, tragedy, and beyond, has led him to the world stage. He performed at the 2019 GRAMMY Awards, has played at Carnegie Hall, and continues to perform at venues around the world each year.
He is at the forefront of a movement of musicians aiming to bring healing and solace to the world. In 2021, he created a series of musical projects born from his own deeply personal human experience of joy and sorrow, collaborating with the duo AWARÉ to create the EP And Now He Has Wings, a musical journey through his recovery and healing after the death of his newborn son.
Born into a family of musicians, Ram Dass was raised to appreciate all musical genres and find the unique nuances of every song and composition he heard. He developed a near-encyclopedic knowledge of wide swaths of the musical landscape, which he calls upon to create novel and moving approaches to music production and songwriting.
He produced the score for the film AWAKEN (2022), directed by Bob Degus, starring Gabrielle Anwar and Henry Ian Cusick
Production credits include Snatam Kaur, Jai-Jagdeesh and Nirinjan Kaur
