John Bauld - Music Vocation
Music, for John, is the universal language that unites us all, which he illuminates in our community through acoustic mantra music and kirtan. The intention with which John shares his vocation is to nourish community, encourage healing, and instill wellbeing through the vibration of live music. Traditional mantras carry a transformational energy, and when combined with asana yoga, John’s music lifts our practice to another level!
John has studied mantra and kirtan with Swami Mehesh, Philip ji, Alison Davinder Kaur, and the Sanskrit language with Tony Murdock. John continues to be inspired by his kirtan teacher, Mike Cohen and Toronto Kirtan Community’s Pat and Maie. John is forever grateful to his kirtan band, Ananda, who teach and inspire him on a daily basis.
When not strumming and singing, John’s creativity flows into the world of photography, visual art, philosophy, philanthropy, travel, hiking, and mentoring. His passion for life is apparent, and fortunately for us, he speaks this through his music.
