PremaSoul
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.
