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 receive a BFA in Music at the University of Texas. 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. The Govinda show is truly a multi-sensory experience that features live projections, resonating vocals and a sonical sound-scape. His live experience is full of vibrant energy that plays to its crowd. Govinda performs on Ableton Live accompanied by classical violin, and is currently touring in support of his album Universal On Switch which was released independently earlier this year. Govinda has played with Thievery Corporation, Tipper, Bassnectar, Shpongle, Cheb I Sabbah, STS9, DJ Spooky. Has been featured on over 25 compilations worldwide such as Buddha Bar 2, Nirvana Lounge 2, Asian Travels and Nomads; selling a combined 400,000 copies. Govindas music has been licensed on shows like “Roswell” WB, “Road Rules” MTV, and “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy” Bravo as well as several independent films. Has played at numerous festivals throughout North America including Coachella, Lightning in a Bottle, Sea of Dreams, SXSW & Shambhala!
