âI believe that music is the bridge that brings us together. Music is the first place we start celebrating each otherâs cultures. When I integrate sounds from another culture, I feel like I am embracing itâ¦declaring our oneness.â As winner of Los Angeles Music Awardsâ âSinger/Songwriter of the Year,â Larisa Stow is known for her thought-provoking, soul-searching lyrics and haunting melodies. Most recently, her passion to integrate the sounds of popular music, world-based rhythms and melodies with the ancient form of kirtan (devotional call and response music) has driven her to collaborate with Grammy award-winning producer and songwriter, Rick Hahn (Celine Dion). The magic of that union resulted in a compilation of engaging Kirtans that are a seamless blend of east meets west. Just prior to her work in the studio with Rick Hahn, Larisa produced an album of spiritual kirtans featuring top-selling author, Thomas Ashley Farrand (âHealing Mantrasâ). Her work with this ancient form of music that many have termed âsacred musicâ along with her continued desire to bring the worlds of popular and spiritual music together has made collaborating with Rick Hahn a compelling venture. As Bernard Bauer of Music Connection says, âThis is music that touches the heart. Larisa will move your emotions- not with a shove- but with a caress.â

Larisa brings that same magic of spirit to her live performances. âPerforming live is my favorite part of being an artist. I love connecting with a live audience and the exchange of energy that happensâ¦the drama of it all.â Larisa is warm and engagingâshe has this amazing gift for making you feel like youâre an old friend, even though sheâs never met you before. Whether sheâs in front of an intimate audience of 30 or 1,000 sheâs got this great gift to reach out, touch you with her lyrics and make you want to dance at one moment or sit in your seat and cry in the next. She takes her audience on an emotional journey that they seem so glad to go on with herâ¦. âLarisa Stow & Shakti Tribe,â her billing when out performing live with her band, provide an unforgettable unique experience that leave an audience feeling the magic of her music. After watching Larisa perform recently, Terri Nunn of Berlin hopped on stage and declared, "This is the music of the future!"

Prior to her work with Rick Hahn, Larisa Stow teamed up with legendary producer David Tickle (U2, Sting, The Police, Peter Gabriel, 4 Non Blondes) and DTS under a special recording agreement to create the first original album featuring 10 of Larisaâs compositions for 5.1-Channel Surround Sound. Supported by DTSâs new company-owned entertainment label, Larisa hit yet another milestone with the release of a DVD-A version of the critically-acclaimed album âMoment By Momentâ which contains a video of her song, âHeaven.â

Larisaâs focus on the world does not end with her music. She is an artist committed to giving back in a big way. âGandhiâs teachings have left an indelible imprint on my heart. âBe the change you wish to see in the worldâ is one of his most beautiful and inspiring teachings that I attempt to put into daily practice.â Larisa intends to give the majority of the profit that she earns through her music to charities and foundations around the world. Larisa Stow is a unique artist whoâs not only got vision and passion for her music, but also for the world around her.

As winner of Los Angeles Music Awardsâ âSinger/Songwriter of the Year,â Larisa Stow is known for her thought-provoking, soul-searching lyrics and haunting melodies. Bernard Bauer of Music Connection says, âThis is music that touches the heart. Larisa will move your emotions- not with a shove- but with a caress.â Her co-writing partner on âAre You Brave?â is songwriter & producer Rick Hahn. Larisa wrote the lyrics and carved out the melody, while Rick wrote the chord progression for this soul-stirring track. Their collaborative efforts on this powerful ballad take the listenerâand singerâon an uplifting, heart-opening journey.
