Why Live Yoga Music and What Is Nameless Energy?

While performing music live during a yoga class, Kemp says he brings his many years as a musician, composer, teacher and yoga instructor plus his full 88-key digital keyboard, a harmonium and his own sophisticated sound system. “My first experience in a yoga-plus-live music experience was so profound that it awakened me to my life’s purpose and I want this blissful feeling for everyone,” says Kemp, who wears his guitar on his back on a custom-made, over-the-shoulder hemp strap.

For Nameless Energy’s 15 soul-lifting tracks, Kemp also collaborated with some of San Diego’s brightest “conscious music” stars such as Buddha Music Group’s Kiyoshi as well as Krista Richards, Aja Lee, Tara Devi, Jamie Shadowlight, Christy Rose and Zoe Sol.

Recommended by Deepak Chopra himself, Kemp’s 15-song Nameless Energy (available on Spotify, iTunes and BandCamp) is a sensual-meets-Sanskrit hybrid of multi-instrument acoustics, electronic sounds, mantras and uplifting lyrics to inspire any yoga experience into a vibration-raising awakening for the soul.

“There is nothing more awakening than having live music during yoga and working with DTO is a mystical treat,” says Hemalayaa, who partners with DTO frequently for the duo’s Turn It Up! ecstatic dance events. “DTO’s music inspires a deep connection to self as well as connection with community,” she says.

Hemalayya -says their Turn It Up! experiences “invigorate and energize the brilliance of your purpose.” She salso says DTO’s Nameless Energy album “guides yogis through a musical heart-connected journey with an Eastern and Western infusion of sounds that is awe-inspiring for the body, mind and soul.” Hemalayaa has her own BollyBlast TV show and been featured on Ellen and The Today Show as well as the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Yoga Journal, Shape and Origin.

In addition to his musical and teaching talents, Kemp is also the visionary behind Plant Powered Living (www.PlantPoweredLiving.com) and Plant Powered Kids (@PlantPoweredKids), which encourages families to cook and serve healthy vegetarian-based meals through music and movement classes, workshops and other programs such as kid-friendly farmer’s market walking tours and cooking demonstrations.
