Biography:
Russell Stone & Craig Pruess are AT-MA!

Russell has worked 30+ years as a singer and songwriter (big chart hit, 'We Do It' in the 70's with R & J Stone), including his singing with Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye & Tony Bennett. He now incorporates the insights he has gained from his yogic, sounding and psychotherapeutic practice, while continuing to explore the underlying connection between soul singing and the ancient spiritual practices of various world cultures. As a singer and artist, this involves delving deeper into the inner journey towards Self. And the sheer power/ magnetism of his singing shows this!

Craig is an American musician and film composer living in the UK since 1973. His many film credits include: Bend It Like Beckham , Bride & Prejudice and The Mistress of Spices. Also an arranger, gold record producer, sound engineer and multi-instrumentalist, he has combined his experience of 35 years of yoga and meditation practice with his knowledge of African, Western, Indian classical and world music. As founder of the respected Heaven on Earth Music record label, his unique creation of the Sacred Chants series of CDs are now sold all over the world.
