Govinda Govinda is the alter-ego of Shane Madden. He began studying violin and composition at the age of eight and went on to study classical violin at the University of Texas where he fell in love with electronic music production and delved into producing & composing music.
Govinda was in pursuit of his gypsy roots when he opened his ears to music from around the world. From experiences learning violin with mysterious masters on his journeys across the globe and his passion for modern design and technology, his current sound was born.
Shane has played with Thievery Corporation, Tipper, Bassnectar, Shpongle, Cheb I Sabbah, STS9 and many more and been featured on over 25 compilations such as Buddha Bar II, Asian Travels II, and Nirvana Lounge selling a combined 400,000 copies. He has toured extensively across the country from private weddings to large scale music festivals. Regardless of how many people are at his set, it always gives off an intimate vibe.

Govinda‘s music has been on TV including stations like WB, MTV, and Bravo as well as many independent films. Arise Music Festival 2016 is honored to include him in the lineup.
