This week the Deja Blu Podcast is BLESSED with the presence of the one and only Madame Gandhi – an award-winning artist and activist known for her uplifting, percussive electronic music and positive message about gender liberation and personal power.
This conversation is a journey into what it means to move through life in a way that optimizes for more joy – Including how to hold yourself when you're sad, not beating yourself up when you fall off of the "spiritual" path, and taking ownership for how you show up in your relationships.
Kiran's playful and authentic spirit brings us glimpses into the future of music, a reframe on cancel culture, and the importance of finding the creative spark outside of a reliance on substances.
Let us know which parts resonate with you most in the comments!

Madame Gandhi is an award-winning artist and activist known for her uplifting, percussive electronic music and positive message about gender liberation and personal power.
She began producing music in 2015, after her story running the London Marathon free-bleeding to combat menstrual stigma went viral around the world. She has been listed as Forbes 30 Under 30 in Music, and her 2020 TED Talk about conscious music consumption has been viewed over a million times.
“Waiting For Me,” shot in Mumbai, India, won the Music Video Jury Award at SXSW Film Festival in 2021 and her 100% Organically Sourced x Sound MANA nature sound pack won the New Wav award at the 2021 Splice Awards.
Her third studio album, Vibrations, was released in 2022, following the release of her previous albums Voices (2016) and Visions (2019). In June of 2022, Gandhi completed a Masters in Music Science & Technology at Stanford University's CCRMA where she spent time in Antarctica sampling the sounds of glaciers melting to create empathy and awareness around climate change.
