Govinda

Event Details

Govinda is the alter-ego of Austin based producer/composer Shane Madden. He began studying violin and composition at the age of eight and

went on to study classical violin at the University of Texas where he

fell in love with electronic music production. It was in Madden's

pursuit of his gypsy roots that he opened his ears to music from around

the world. From experiences learning violin with mysterious masters on

his journeys across the globe and his passion for modern design and

technology, the current sound of Govinda was born.

Govinda has played with Thievery Corporation, Tipper, Bassnectar,

Shpongle, Cheb I Sabbah, STS9 and many more and been featured on over 25

compilations such as Buddha Bar II, Asian Travels II, and Nirvana

Lounge selling a combined 400,000 copies. Govinda has played at numerous

festivals throughout North America including Coachella, Lightning in a

Bottle, Sea of Dreams, SXSW and more. Govinda's music has been on TV

the audience with a textured exotic atmosphere which features

mesmerizing vocals, professional dancer and fire performer, Jordan

Proper, live projections, live gypsy violin for a truly energetic and

magical live presence.
