Influenced by the mysticism of Indian music and the colorful soul of American music, PremaSoul (pronounced prae-ma, from the Sanskrit word for "universal love"), transcends boundaries with an intoxicating blend of rich, modern harmonies and old world rhythms, to create songs of rare beauty. Fronted by Indian-American vocalist/harpist Sheela Bringi and Black American songwriter/trumpeter Clinton Patterson, PremaSoul's sound is a natural expression of artists who are coming authentically from many places, all at once. A rare songbird, Sheela Bringi originally came to Los Angeles from her home in Colorado, to follow her path in music. What she found along the way was Clinton Patterson - a gifted, young musician from Atlanta with a penchant for both the soulful and the modernistic. Drawn together initially by a shared curiosity of each other’s musical heritage, their curiosity has expanded into a long-term collaboration that touches on traditions across the globe. Sheela and Clinton have found kindred spirits in fellow CalArts alums: Robin Sukhadia, Dave Tranchina and Colin Woodford. Tabla, bass, and drumset respectively, these musicians share something special that never fails to deliver.
