ABOUT
Manish Vyas was born in Gujarat, India, and has been learning and teaching music since his youth, which he learned through the years with different pandits (maestros) he met along his musical and spiritual journey.
He is a teacher, composer, singer, and multi-instrumentalist - he plays tabla and Indian percussions, santoor, harmonium, and keyboard. Along his musical and spiritual path, he has composed hundreds of songs, mainly in the devotional, mystical, and Sufi genres. He has released 15 albums of music, from mantras to Sufi, dance, easy-listening, and instrumental based on Indian Ragas, and participated in dozens of other musicians' productions with his compositions, voice, and instruments (see discography on his website).
His gatherings, retreats, and concerts offer the perfect blend of genuine Indian sounds merged with a touch of fusion, which makes his music so accessible and appreciated by all types of listeners in search of authentic Indian sounds.
He currently lives in Switzerland, offering his music mainly in Europe, but also in the USA and India - where he conducts concerts and workshops. Having been the coordinator of the music in an Ashram in South India for many years, his music and guidance are said to bring people into silence, both through the techniques shared and through the music with a soul in wise India.
His music styles or genres offer a wide range of sounds: Sufi, mantra, kirtan, instrumental, dancing, folk, classical... always keeping his seal of authenticity and quality. Carrying Indian music in his heart, one of his missions is to maintain its roots, in a world where the Indian devotional genre has gotten spread in a commercial way and many times has not kept its genuineness in the West. He is considered one of the best and for sure most authentic Indian singers in his genre with his presence in Europe.
