Angie Hilton Prema - Awakening to Love

'Chanting is perhaps the easiest and most delightful path to a higher consciousness. When one gets absorbed in chanting, the inner being opens and the subtle processes take place that uplift and transform awareness. Simply put, chanting gives aesthetic pleasure first, then inner bliss, then finally deep wisdom. Angie Prema Hilton's beautiful chanting is a vehicle to the self'. Swami Shankarananda Fresh onto the Kirtan music scene is Australian Angie Prema Hilton. In 2010, Hilton met her teacher Swami Shankarananda from Shiva Yoga and began her magical discovery of whole yogic path. Having come from a 20 year career in entertainment including jobs such as TV presenter on Australian channel 7's Coxy's Big Break travel show, record contract with BMG records, backing singer for Ricky Martin & Ronan Keating and much more, Hilton was thrilled to discover the devotional path of Kirtan Yoga. "I had been singing my whole life, but never experienced the way music could open your heart as much as it did when I started chanting. I love getting lost in the moment." Hilton says. Hilton has just finished her first Kirtan Yoga album 'Awakening to Love'. With eight tracks of mantras and chants along with an acoustic version of George Harrisons 'My Sweet Lord', the raw, earthy tones are the perfect antidote for getting you to that relaxed state of connection. "To be totally honest, the album came as a surprise to me. I started experimenting with writing my own chants and found that I just couldn't stop. I was addicted to the good feelings that seemed to linger whenever I immersed myself in it". Hilton explains.
