Tony Khalife

Singer, songwriter, and recording artist Tony Khalife offers a musical experience shaped by devotion, tradition, and deep spiritual study. His work blends the hypnotic drone and ragas of Indian music with the rich resonance of Sufi devotional dance and Western harmonies, creating a seamless atmosphere of transcendence through sound.

A Vedic scholar, Tony has studied the lives and songs of Indian saints, along with ancient Sanskrit rituals. His path has also included seven years as a ceremonial guide at the Wishwa Shanti Ashram in Oakland, California, as well as a year-long pilgrimage in India, where he sang and chanted from Haridwar to Pandharapur.

Born and raised in Beirut, Lebanon, and based in California for the past 30 years, Tony brings a rare depth of cultural and spiritual experience to every performance and gathering.
