Ricky Kej

The Indo-American composer's Grammy Award-winning 14th studio album, Winds Of Samsara, a collaboration with South African flautist Wouter Kellerman, Bagged the top spot on Billboard's New Age Albums Chart in August 2014. "The Billboard charts quantify commercial success and the reach of a song or album. While monetary gain is always welcome, being on celebrated chart such as this, helps. It shows us that our music is loved by a large section of people," says Kej. Evidently priding on the fact that his album topped the chart for two weeks, even enjoying another 14 weeks juggling spots within the top 10, he says, "I took two-and-a-half years to create it. Over a hundred musicians were involved in the album. The success on the charts illustrated that it broke cultural and political barriers and reached listeners of every ethnicity."
