Akalsahai Khalsa

Akalsahai Khalsa is the founder of BrightStar. For ten years he managed Snatam Kaur as she grew from a beloved kirtan artist into a world-renowned spiritual musician — a journey of devotion, logistics, and constant problem-solving.

Along the way he saw the same struggles repeated across the conscious music community: ticketing platforms that extracted fees without adding value, audience data that vanished into corporate databases, and tools built for corporate events that felt misaligned with sacred gatherings. BrightStar was born from that lived experience — a platform built by and for the conscious events community, so artists, teachers, and organizers can share their light without losing themselves to logistics.
