Snatam Kaur Khalsa es una cantante y compositora estadounidense. Kaur realiza música devocional hindú, kirtan, y recorre el mundo como activista de la paz. El nombre de "Kaur", que significa "princesa", es compartida por todos los Sikhs femenino.
Snatam Kaur was brought her up in the Sikh tradition as taught by Yogi Bhajan. Schooled in kirtan, meditation, and Gurmukhi, the young Snatam Kaur began to develop the devotion and skills that have grown and blossomed into a compelling, profound talent. “I learned about the importance of sound currents from Yogi Bhajan,” she says, “but I also had the personal experience of how the energy of these sacred words can have a very real, positive effect.” Snatam further explored the power of sound in India. After touring and performing Kirtan in northern India, Snatam settled in Amritsar where she studied music with the accomplished ragi (Indian master of Sikh-style kirtan) Bhai Hari Singh. While in Amritsar, Snatam lived next door to the Golden Temple, considered the world’s holiest Sikh temple. Sacred music resonates from inside the temple from about 2:30 in the morning to midnight every day-sounds created by world-class masters of Sikh kirtan. This enabled Snatam to continually soak in the essence of the Sound Current. Upon returning to the US from India, Snatam began her career as a recording artist with a band called the Peace Family. She served as the band’s lead singer and, with two skilled and accomplished musicians – Livtar Singh and GuruGanesha Singh, had her first opportunity to write songs. Two years later she began to develop her own sound and style and embarked on a very fruitful solo career.
