 | BIO: Boddhi Satva - African Rhythms |
Born and raised in the Central African Republic, Boddhi’s first introduction to music production happened in 1994. Back then, Boddhi was writing, singing and rapping in a Hip-Hop group (Gbekpa Crew) that he and a couple of friends created.
Willing to pursue his studies, Boddhi moved to Belgium in 2000, where he ended up embracing his first love, MUSIC. He then began to develop his production talents and was slowly seduced by the sounds of Deep House, and most notably the music of producers like: Kevin Yost , Alton Miller, St Germain, Osunlade, Masters At Work to name but a few.
“It was like a revelation to me, from then on I decided to play and produce this Music”.
A meeting with Alton Miller in 2005 resulted in the birth to two EP’s: “Prelude To A Motion EP” and “See The Day.” Both collaborations were released on the trail-blazing Paris-based ATAL Music. In 2006, Boddhi realized that the sound of Osunlade is one of the inspirations that helped him craft his now respected Ancestral Soul, a touch that was introduced to the world on Yoruba Records with the “Satva Varti EP.” In 2007 ATAL released “Moina Ya Mokili” Boddhi Satva’s third release on the label done this time in collaboration with Abel Tabu.
Boddhi, known to be a hard worker and has been labelled “The machine” by his peers. 2008 has been a prolific year for Boddhi Satva who has just created his own label “Offering Recordings” and also deliver a lot of remixes and original productions on labels like:
Bubble Soul, Seasons Limited, Seed Recordings, Ocha Records, Vega Records, Yoruba Records, Abicah Soul Records, Franck Roger Digital, Deeper Shades Of House, CityDeep Music and UGH.
Now signed by world-renowned and Grammy Award winner Louie Vega and Yoruba boss Osunlade, Boddhi has confirmed he could keep up his creativity by constantly recreating his musical aptitudes. He will shortly be releasing a full-length album showcasing his ever evolving talents. His now well-known “Ancestral Soul” mixes and productions will propel the profile of Boddhi Satva skyward.
