**Sri Prahlada's Background**

Sri Prahlada was practically born into kirtan and has been singing and playing kirtan across the globe since childhood. He developed his initial fascination with kirtan attending school at ashrams in Australia and India. A natural musical talent, at age 12 he won a recording contract with record giant EMI, releasing two singles and an album entitled "Through the Eyes of a Child".

He has performed kirtan in traditional, as well as rock and reggae styles before audiences of tens of thousands. Along with the likes of Krishna Das and Jai Uttal, he features in Steven Rosen's book "The Yoga of Kirtan" which contains in-dept interviews with 20 western kirtan artists.

At age 15 Sri Prahlada took formal spiritual initiation into the Chaitanya Vaishnava tradition from Hridayananda dasa Goswami (Howard J. Resnick, PH.D.) a world-renowned teacher of both Sanskrit and Indian studies, who has translated numerous Sanskrit texts and has written many corresponding commentaries, essays, articles, and novels.

Sri Prahlada has also been mentored by the renowned bhakti-yoga master Indradyumna Swami, traveling as his assistant, secretary, and lead kirtan singer, from age 15 for about 18 yeears.
