Simon Glöde is a German–Danish musician, producer, and kirtan artist whose work bridges traditional mantra with contemporary production. Dividing his life between Europe and a Himalayan ashram in Rishikesh, Simon creates intimate, spacious, and immersive musical experiences rooted in presence, community, and connection.
His journey began at age twelve, when he committed to becoming a musician despite having no musical role models around him. A lifelong search for guidance eventually led him to India, where he found a teacher who helped reshape not only his musical understanding but his entire way of life. Over the past eight years, Simon has developed a unique artistic voice informed by yogic practice, devotional music, and modern songwriting.
Alongside his artistic work, Simon co-runs two yoga-education platforms: insightout.yoga, an online yoga app and community offering transformative practices, and theharmoniumcourse.com, a global training platform dedicated to making kirtan and mantra music accessible to students around the world.
Simon’s Concert Ceremonies blend acoustic instruments with electronic elements, sing-along sections, Kirtan, and ecstatic dance—offering audiences a deeply engaging and communal experience beyond the framework of a conventional performance. His work invites listeners into a space of openness, creativity, and shared emotional resonance.
Touring internationally, Simon appears at festivals, retreat centers, and concert venues across Europe and Asia. His performances are known for their dynamism, sincerity, and the powerful sense of togetherness they create.
