Krishan

Born in Washington DC, DJ Krishan began banging on drums at the age of 6 thus beginning a deep love affair with rhythm and beat. Growing up in a home surrounded by music he was mesmerized by the fusion of different ethnic cultures’ music styles. “I would get in trouble all the time for digging through my parents record collection when they weren’t looking. I would have records strewn out across the floor. I was completely captivated by all of the different sounds that could be made,” Krishan recounts. After spending 4 1/2 years in India traveling all over the country with a small spiritual music group Krishan landed in Santa Fe, New Mexico just as the rave scene was kicking into full gear. At 19 he bought his first pair of turntables and by 21 was playing along side world-renowned DJ’s as Bad Company and Nigel Richards. In 2003 Krishan started his Producing career and has since added his magical touch to over 15 albums and many other projects including “Snatam Live in Concert” and “Limitless Light” by famed songwriter Ramez Iskander. Today Krishan runs his production company Open Mind Creations and when he’s not out playing shows he is almost always in the studio writing new music, remixing tracks, or producing the next up and coming artist. Krishan’s live DJ shows are wildly entertaining and incorporate massive amounts of originals, remixes and live played samples all fused together in what can only be called a journey that takes the mind, body, and spirit for a ride.
