The Heartbeat of Kirtan: Jai Uttals Soulful Voyage

Shownotes

Jai Uttal is a Grammy-nominated world music and devotional artist whose work blends kirtan, folk, spiritual chant, and global rhythms. His music is deeply rooted in heart-opening mantra and soulful expression.

Raised in New York and influenced by a music industry family, Jai Uttals path to becoming a kirtan singer began with an unexpected encounter with a banjo. His musical journey led him through Appalachian music to a transformative experience hearing Ali Akbar Khans Indian classical performance. Following his passion, Jai pursued studies with Khan in California, where exposure to kirtan expanded his horizons. A pilgrimage to India introduced him to Neem Karoli Baba, whose presence and the constant chants of Vrindavan deepened his commitment. Through these influences, Jai found a spiritual and musical home in kirtan and mantra, blending heart and voice.
