Dada Veda is a yoga monk, meditation teacher and a singer-songwriter.

He was born in New York city and grew up in an era when rock and roll was emerging as the most popular form of music.

Dada's songs are acoustic, folk songs with lyrics that incorporate spiritual, ecological and social justice themes. His style has been compared to Bob Dylan, Pete Seeger and George Harrision. There is also a touch of country in the songs, and one listener dubbed his blend "Country and Eastern Music."

In July of 2009 Dada released "Love is the Best" a CD with his latest songs. On this release Dada's upbeat lyrics have been enhanced by the arrangements and production of Ryan Sam, and the CD was called "the best Indie release of 2009" by the Indie Music Review.

Dada performs solo with guitar and harmonica, but is often accompanied by fiddle, bass, mandolin, piano and guitar players to produce a rousing folk sound that gets audiences singing along with gusto. While Dada's lyrics deal with serious themes, his lighthearted style and humorous delivery have won him fans ranging in age from toddlers to seniors.
