Ricky Kej

Ricky Kej is an Indian composer, music producer, and environmentalist known for his lush, genre-blending soundscapes that fuse Indian classical traditions with global electronic and world music vibes. The Grammy-winning artist (yes, he snagged the 2015 Best New Age Album trophy for *Winds of Samsara* with Wouter Kellerman!) creates music that’s both meditative and message-driven, often spotlighting environmental and social causes. Based in Bengaluru, he’s collaborated with everyone from UN campaigns to symphonies, crafting everything from chill-out tracks like *Liquid Planet* to anthems like his *Bengaluru Airport* theme. Recent releases like *Her Land* and *Aao Ji* keep his signature mix of cultural fusion and conscious themes fresh, while projects like his *National Anthem of India* rearrangement show his knack for reimagining classics with cinematic flair. When he’s not collecting awards (three US Presidential Honors and a *Billboard* #1, no big deal), you’ll find him advocating for sustainability – proof that you can jam out *and* save the planet.
