Arjun Music Arjun Bruggeman, world percussionist and session recording artist, is highly acclaimed for his unique hybrid of East-meets-West rhythms. At the age of 14, Arjun embarked on a touring career with punk rock bands. His interest in early progressive, metal and jazz rhythms led him into a creative journey and later found himself enthralled by world percussion. Simultaneously, Arjun practiced many forms of Eastern spirituality. Through these explorations he merged the inner quest with the exterior expressions of sound and found himself supporting spoken word with Coleman Barks and David Darling. Arjun recalls, “I wanted to go deeper. I wanted to support something that was bigger than me – something more than music." This profound experience led Arjun to meet Krishna Das (KD) and a connection with Neem Karoli Baba. Soon there after, he began touring with Krishna Das worldwide and over the past decade has shared the stage with noted musicians Sting, John Densmore, Mark Egan, Jerry Morrata, Steve Gorn, and Crosby Stills and Nash. Arjun has recorded many albums and performed with many artists such as David Darling, Coleman Barks, Robert Bly, Michael Franti, Snatam Kaur, Shyamdas, and The John Ginty Band. He can most recently be heard on Krishna Das’s 2012 Grammy Nominated “Live Ananda”. Currently, Arjun is composing and recording his first solo album to be released end of 2012. When not touring or in the studio, you can find Arjun at Iron Maiden concerts. Users who are followed by Arjun Music
