Bhakta

Bhakta

Bhakta was born in Holland and raised in his grandparents' home as a member of a tumultuous extended family. His childhood resembled more of a gypsy circus than a proper Dutch upbringing, and was an ideal setting for music, art, experimentation and communication.
At age 15, Bhakta left home for India to explore meditation, and subsequently lived for 10 years in India and three in Japan. Those years of meditation became the backbone of his music. The influences of Eastern cultures and his own path in life wind into the world of sound through his unique style of classical-chill, experimental-ambient, and electronic-dance music, on his albums India all Over, Snow on Venus, Drowning in Grace and Open Transmission.
Following a successful career in the 90s as a producer and mixing engineer in Europe, Bhakta and his partner Disha, (vocalist on the globally loved album Drowning in Grace), moved to Byron Bay on the East coast of Australia where he works in his home studio recording, composing and producing many local and international artists.
