About Raji Malik
I have performed and recorded hard rock and instrumental Indian influenced music in the Philadelphia area for the past 30 years. I started playing guitar when I was 19, and I am self taught. My initial musical influences were the great rock guitarists Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin), Jimi Hendrix, and David Gilmour (Pink Floyd). Then I discovered Shakti, featuring 3 masterful Indian musicians and guitar legend John Mclaughlin playing a modified sitar-like acoustic guitar. I promptly put away my electric guitar and immersed myself in the pure tones of the acoustic guitar. Now I find deep inspiration from many brilliant "Modern Fingerstyle" guitarists who are all disciples of the late Michael Hedges, who reinvented the acoustic guitar with his harmonic percussive playing. I hope that my music brings you peace, healing, and inspiration. Much love to you all!

Mindful Guitar
Music is Medicine
When I play music, I imagine the sound waves rippling out like water. All of our actions ripple out into the world, and kindness has medicinal powers just like music. These sound waves are intended to reduce stress and create a sense of spaciousness in our interior world so that we may more easily recognize our interconnection. May this musical meditation bring you a deeper appreciation of your goodness. May we all continue to challenge ourselves to grow with honest self-reflection so that we may more clearly channel love. That is why we are here.
