A movement made possible together.

Universal Sacred Music Collective is a nonprofit organization dedicated to raising global consciousness through sacred music, uniting extraordinary artists and spiritual traditions in service to the Creator.

We seek to bring sacred music to global audiences, connecting exceptional devotional musicians with internationally celebrated artists while honoring the traditions they represent.

Bring your voice to something greater.

We invite devotional singers, traditional instrumentalists, choirs, composers, and internationally recognized recording artists to explore collaborations rooted in artistic excellence and spiritual sincerity.

Our vision is to bring extraordinary musicians from sacred communities together with established artists as genuine creative partners. Each collaboration should honor its musical tradition, recognize the artists who carry it, and reach audiences across cultures.

Ways to collaborate

Join a recording or live performance • Introduce a sacred musical tradition • Propose an original devotional composition • Connect us with exceptional musicians and creative partners.

Artist participation and recording projects are subject to individual discussions and agreements.

Why I Created Universal Sacred Music Collective

Universal Sacred Music Collective was born from something deeply personal. During painful chapters of my life, mantra became a source of healing. Sacred music carrying the holy names of the Creator across traditions lifted me through grief when words could not. Chanting those divine names restored my faith, opened my heart, and helped me feel the loving presence of the Divine.

Across religions, cultures, and continents, humanity has been expressing its love for the Creator through music for thousands of years. Different languages, different traditions, yet the same longing for connection with the Divine. I believe music has the power to reach hearts where words cannot, dissolve barriers, and awaken something greater within humanity. Together with Narada Michael Walden, I am building a platform to unite celebrated artists with extraordinary traditional spiritual musicians. Our purpose is to elevate consciousness, inspire compassion, and contribute to healing and unity through sacred sound. I invite you to be part of what we are creating. — Jacqui Goff, Founder

Turn the light on

Music helps shape the emotional climate we live in. At a time when division is so often amplified, we want to place the creative power and reach of music behind devotion, compassion, courage, and hope.

Sacred songs are found in every part of the world; their beauty can bring people together without asking anyone to abandon their beliefs. We envision collaborations with singers and instrumentalists rooted in temples, churches, choirs, and sacred communities, alongside globally recognized artists.

A shared stage. A wider horizon.

DISCOVER — Seek out remarkable voices and musicians in temples, churches, choirs, and sacred communities worldwide, honoring the traditions they carry.

CREATE TOGETHER — Bring these musicians together with internationally recognized artists to write, record, and perform as genuine creative partners. Beyond the first release, we envision albums, concerts, gatherings, and stories that celebrate each tradition in its own right.

Help build a global movement

Our proposed two-year founding campaign of $2.5 million aims to establish a sustainable platform for sacred music, interfaith collaboration, and global cultural outreach.

The brochure outlines 12 albums over two years, a proposed six-album annual rhythm. Releases depend on fundraising, artist agreements, and production schedules. Corporations, foundations, family offices, and individual benefactors are invited to make founding commitments.

Where founding support goes

An illustrative $1.2 million allocation supports music production: sessions, musicians, artist fees, engineering, mixing, mastering, and album delivery.

An illustrative $1.3 million allocation supports programs and operations: staff, marketing, distribution, music videos, fundraising, live experiences, administration, legal and accounting, and reserves. Funding would be deployed in stages with project budgets, documented artist arrangements, and oversight.
