Kevin James

Kevin James is an Australian singer-songwriter who brings devotional music to the world in a way that is free from religious dogma. His music is a world fusion of devotional chanting: English lyrics joined with mantras from around the world, alongside what he calls Heartsongs, songs in English that carry the depths of Eastern philosophy in a joyful way that is open to everyone.

What began as singing gatherings with friends in the 1990s slowly grew into a way of living. Since 2010 he has travelled continuously, sharing his music in Chanting Circles, a group experience of reconnecting to oneself. A chanting circle combines mantras, Heartsongs and kirtan.

Today he continues this path with his wife Susana, who plays harmonium. Together they hold chanting circles, retreats, trainings and workshops, including a course for people who want to facilitate and lead kirtan and mantra circles. Their shared vision is connection to the heart as a way toward a more harmonious life.

His recordings include ONE (2010), Life is Perfect (2013), Heartstrings (2016), Sanskrit Mantras Vol. 1 (2017) and Wild Free Spirit (2021). He also teaches Active Aum Meditation and Toning, a journey into the Aum and toning through the chakras. Sat Nam Europe has described his voice as "touching, warm and loving at each moment – authentic and straight from the heart."
