PARVATI
Singer/Songwriter/ Producer/Performancer
Region: Canada
Genre: Electronic Dance-Pop
Parvati is known as a musical Renaissance woman, dedicated yogini, active humanitarian and environmentalist. On September 26, 2010, Parvati became the first to perform at the North Pole (83.5°N, 75°W), where she sang selections from her current, self-produced, debut album and show "Yoga In the Nightclub" to help raise awareness of the quickly melting polar ice caps.
As an internationally acclaimed singer, songwriter, performer and producer, Parvati's life-affirming music has people dancing to her catchy rhythms from Tokyo to Toronto. Her electronic dance-pop music has been likened to 70's French disco, which was a likely influence during her Montreal upbringing.
Parvati began classical music trained at age six (Royal Conservatory: piano, voice, clarinet, recorders and composition). She now finds freedom of expression through sound synthesis in electronic music. A visionary and groundbreaker by nature, she skipped three grades going to university at age 16. She graduated in 1992 with honours from the School of Architecture at the University of Waterloo where she submitted her final project entitled "Mind as City" as a performance-art piece, accompanied by child-like, wax-crayon drawings.
Through sound, she explores the weightless possibility of musical architecture through her unique, richly layered sonic landscapes. In addition to using computers, synthesizers and acoustic instruments, she uses her extended vocal range to create unusual sonic textures. Her unconventional approach to music production has initiated invitations to share her unique styles with some of the biggest names in the music industry.
In 1998, Parvati left Montreal and moved to Toronto where she co-formed with Michael Moon the trance band "Liquid Crystal Oscillator". LCO would go on to perform in Toronto's rave scene, at clubs and in inspired venues. In 2001, after their first release "In the Realm of the Eleventh Chord" (2000), the band parted ways. Parvati focused on writing her own material and began to perform solo shows on the piano and guitar in coffee shops, halls and clubs.
In 2007, Parvati emerged with "Yoga In the Nightclub", the single, the concept story album and the multimedia show that bridges her love for music and her life rooted by the practice of meditation. During the show "Yoga In the Nightclub", Parvati transforms into a mythical character called Natamba, who arrives from Avalon clad in gold spandex to inspire and transform a barren Earth. Parvati's show pushes the envelope of peoples understanding of yoga, musical theatre and live musical performance. For Parvati the world is sound and yoga is everywhere.
Incorporating acrobats, urban dancers and remixes for the second pilot of "Yoga In the Nightclub" at Toronto's Mod Club in 2008 captured the attention of Cirque du Soleil's Artistic Director Clarence Ford. Parvati went on to perform notably at Earl's Palace in London (2008) and at Popkomm in Berlin (2009). Currently Parvati is working with Clarence Ford to mount her show for world stages.
To bring to life her philanthropic raison d'être, Parvati founded in 2009 Positive Possibilities Incorporated, a volunteer driven movement devoted to helping people awaken I Am consciousness. Positive Possibilities projects support ecological and responsible commerce, working to build hospitals, meditation centres and organic farms that work in respectful co-creation with nature. Parvati believes that if we are to have a future as a human race, we must begin to listen to our inner voice, to each other and to the planet. We are all connected. Her on-line Positive Possibilities store that supports organic, ecological and conscious living, launches in 2011.
After an exciting build of her brand, Parvati officially releases her album "Yoga In the Nightclub" in 2011, accompanied by various remixes and multilingual versions (French, Spanish, German and Hindi) from her critically acclaimed debut production.
