The late Singh Kaur (Lorellei), well-respected and loved by the Kundalini Yoga community, was a singer-composer-arranger of rare magnitude. She possessed both a keen compositional mind and a soothing, crystal clear voice, which both uplifted and inspired. It still does!
Singh Kaur's musical journey was one of unique and magical magnitude. Her music reached a wide audience through the hugely popular Crimson Series albums recorded with Kim Robertson. Shortly thereafter, she joined Soundings of The Planet to produce her first Billboard-charting album, Instruments of Peace, 1988, followed by What Child Is This, a Christmas album produced with Dean Evenson.
Singh Kaur was first exposed to the life of music at the age of five, listening to arias sung by her operatic grandmother. At age 14, she bought her first guitar and has been composing and arranging ever since. Her lyrical concepts can be traced to the 14 years that she spent in a yoga ashram studying ancient spiritual teachings and writing music to complement sacred texts.
Literally translated, Singh Kaur means Lion Princess, a most appropriate name for this talented performer. Long flowing red hair accompanied an exhuberant personality, both playful and ferocious. Yogi Bhajan, who crowned her with this name, often said that it held the key to her destiny: "Sing Singh Kaur!" As she sang, her soul reached out to touch the hearts of others.
The music of Singh Kaur is loved by many within the community, and her Kundalini Yoga CDs are an amazing experience awaiting those who have not yet heard her wonderful voice. The "Lion Princess" will forever be remembered for her contributions to Kundalini Yoga music.
