In his first collaboration with Vedam Records, Ricky has released Break Of Dawn, his latest studio album, which explores the ancient Indian musical heritage of the Vedas, using their core tenets in every composition, and each song crafted through the lens of upliftment and healing. Collaborating with nine of the finest musicians in their respective fields from around the world, Break Of Dawn delivers soothing melodies, rich with Indian musical and cultural influences, and is the perfect companion to the daily practices of Yoga and Meditation. Forthcoming releases from Vedam Records will follow the tenets of these traditional Indian Vedic Wellness Systems (I.V.W.S), serving five distinct verticals for listeners: Yoga, Meditation, Focus, Sleep, and Chakra Balancing.
In making the announcement, Devraj Sanyal, Chairman & CEO, India & South Asia; SVP Strategy, AMEA (Africa, for Middle East, Asia) at Universal Music Group said, "With the launch of Vedam Records, we are embarking on a transformative journey, focused on improving the effectiveness and accessibility to authentic wellness music worldwide, steeped in traditional Indian Vedic practices and calibrated to various aspects of your wellbeing.
