"Shimshai is a heart-centered musical prodigy and one of the most gifted performers I've ever experienced.” ~Bruce Pavitt (Founder of Sub-Pop Records, Nirvana’s first record label) "Shimshai's music emanates a divine presence and a quality of peace, a truly 'natural mystic' energy that flows into the hearts of his listeners. His musicality is superb, as is that of his bandmates, and his singing is sublime and transcendent." ~Jai Uttal Whether singing the ancient Sanskrit mantras of India, age-old Hebrew prayers, traditional folklore of South America, or performing his original works of divine inspiration, Shimshai’s music invokes a sentiment of ancestral devotion and a dedication to higher consciousness.
