About Jayadev

Jayadev John Richardson is a professional musician, percussionist, song writer and recording artist. He first found fame in the 1970’s as the drummer with UK pop band The Rubettes. After enjoying a succession of chart topping hits in the UK and Europe and with 30 million record sales under his belt, Jayadev left the band in the early 80’s to pursue other interests.

He became a reputable herbalist and highly acclaimed alternate therapist specialising in regression therapy. During this period he also embarked on a spiritual journey and joined the Hare Krsna movement in 1982.

Jayadev has written, performed and recorded numerous songs with a spiritual emphasis and in April 2010 launched Mantra Choir, a unique concept in call and response chanting/singing. There have been well over 150 Mantra Choirs performed all over the world since the project was launched.
