Chaleya Momin – The Search speaks of a seeker searching for humanity in a world divided by discord and discrimination. It is a call to our collective conscience that God lives in every being, and that kindness and compassion are the only true religion. In a world fractured by hate, war, and divisiveness, the song feels less like music and more like a prayer, a reminder of what is necessary for our survival as a people — peace and humanity. Through deeply poetic lyrics and her hauntingly evocative voice, Sonam urges us to imagine a land where love, compassion, and humanity take precedence over religion, race, or labels: “I am but a child of God. And wherever He resides- in any home, in any being—that is my true place of worship.” “Chaleya Momin – The Search” is not just a song, but a spiritual reminder of our shared need for compassion, urging us to remember that we are all children of one humanity and one world.

Sonam Kalra is a member of the Grammy Recording Academy and multiple-award winning singer and composer. This 6 time Global Music award winner is that rare breed of musician who has been trained in both Indian and Western traditions of music and is equally adept at both. She has a beautiful, powerful voice with an honesty and sensitivity that is rare. But even more important than that is the fact, that she is a musician with a message. And it is this unique combination of all these qualities, that has taken her to prestigious stages across the world including The Sydney Opera House and MTV’s Coke Studio. Sonam’s unique brainchild, ‘Sonam Kalra & the Sufi Gospel Project’ which blends the many voices of faith through poetry, prayer and music to create one universal voice of faith, has earned her international critical acclaim. And she has performed in over 30 countries at prestigious festivals and venues around the world. Sonam has shared the stage with legendary musicians like Sir Bob Geldof and Sufi Legend Abida Parveen.
