PRODUCER / DJ / MUSICIAN Tazdeen Rashid tazdeenrashid@gmail.com http://www.djtazrashid.com http://www.djtazrashid.bandcamp.com My Mission in life is to help awaken the collective consciousness with music. DJ Taz Rashid brings a high vibrational energy to any crowd instantly by mixing the beats and rhythms of Love, Ancient New World, Remixes, House, Kirtan, Devotional, and all the cosmic sounds. His vision is to be a channel to cause the expansion of all those around by tapping into the creative wisdom of the body and allowing them to feel, let go and awaken. He has been producing and part of creating conscious events in the United States over the last few years and as a musician, he plays guitar, keyboard, Native American Flute, didgeridoo and hand percussion. He takes these instruments and connects to the Divine and what comes through has the ability to move his crowd to connect to their Divine higher selves.

I collaborate with DJ Taz at Yoga & Music festivals around the world. His smile, soul and skill all shine through as a source of inspiration for everyone. DJ Taz is a Lighthouse of LOVE! -Sianna Sherman, International Yoga Teacher, Founder of Mythic Yoga Flow & Cofounder of Urban Priestess DJ Taz is the reason that my workshops and classes have elevated to the next level. And also, he's the catalyst for why I have so many students after every class come and ask me how they can get my playlist where I'm playing a DJ Taz mix. He's simply a master sonic alchemist --and I'm honored to partner with him whenever we can. -Sadie Nardini, Yogini and Musician What a tremendous spirit! DJ Taz has an intuitive connection to grace of prayer through movement. The rhythms and beats he adds help propel the practice deeper within and without, as we meet each other in the devotion of the breath and movement. -Janet Stone, Global Yoga Teacher When DJ Taz and I work together, there's a wonderful and easy synchronicity that adds to the experience of the yoga class. I am inspired by his music choices and he easily "reads" my transitions throughout the class. -Lourdes Paredes, Yoga Teacher and Founder of ILLUMINE Magazine It's been amazing to work with DJ Taz. As our headlining act at our annual Sukhava Bodhe Yoga & Music Festival, DJ Taz has proven his ability to inspire the audience, bring diversity together in sacred community, and inspire a deep feeling of love and joy. We are looking forward to many more opportunities with DJ Taz to come. -Daren Friesen, Director, Moksha Yoga Center & Stonehouse Farm Eco-Retreat & Sanctuary
Taz's music and presence has brought a tremendous feeling of light and love to my yoga classes. He gets my highest recommendations! -Govind Das, Bhakti Yoga Shala, Yoga Teacher, Musician DJ Taz is, quite simply, excellent. he is an outstanding human being with a kind heart and helpful soul. he's an amazing DJ who can read a crowd and create a magical music experience for them. he's also a spiritual person who is in tune with what's going on. More DJ Taz, please. -Mia Park, Yoga with Mia Park DJ Taz is remarkable: he is present, positive, open-hearted and engaged, but what sets him apart as the best DJ I have ever worked with, is his uncanny ability to immediately tune in to the heart vibe of the audience. On the spot, he chooses and plays the exact music that will raise their vibrational level and bring the crowd together. He is a consummate professional, a brilliant musician in his own right, but a stellar DJ. Any event will absolutely blossom with DJ Taz and his artful touch. -Dirje Childs, Musician DJ Taz is absolutely incredible. He is a true resource for the yoga community that knows exactly how to enhance a class with his musical genius. -Justin Michael Williams, Business of Yoga, Musician DJ Taz is an amazing and divine incarnation of the energy of Lord Krishna holding his magic flute and bringing divinity to Earth with his music. He has been blessed with an ear that allows him to receive inspiration from the celestial harps played by messengers of our perfect and purified source. He has been able to inspire the voice of the divine to move through me in ways that has facilitated amazing healing experiences for anyone who listens. Therefore I recommend this teacher, musician, poet and magician to any project that requires a pathway to deeper meaning and purpose. -Charles Robinson, Kai Chi Do Inc. Founder and Teacher DJ Taz not only has an amazing spirit but he is also a fantastic artist with an insane vibe. I bring him onto as many events as I can - he never fails to deliver lots of love, light and great music. -Vanessa Palmer, OM FOR THE MOM
