Anadi began his career at the age 17 working as a computer programmer for Lyons Maid and Tetley and went on to enjoy further success programming for major corporates including JP Morgan and Shell. Having achieved this he moved on to set up Fokus, his own record label and recording studio, which enjoyed success in the dance charts in the UK and US – including hit remixes for the likes of The Shamen.

It was Anadi's passion for music and personal growth that took him on a journey to discover 'self' in India in his mid twenties. There he visited the major Ashrams and studied under various teachers including Osho and Papaji. He became enthralled by the sounds and spirituality of the continent and spent six months travelling and learning meditation techniques, various healing therapies and exploring the nature of 'self'. It turned from a passion to a way of life and he returned to India several times over the following seven or eight years. It was on this journey that he was given the name Anadi which means "without beginning".

On returning to the UK – following the internet boom – Anadi decided to develop a website to bring what he had learned to the mainstream. Over the coming years, blending his computing skills, passion for self discovery and music, he created SoundsOrange.

Today SoundsOrange is one of the world's most popular websites offering conscious music, talks, meditation – and inspiring TV and radio content. As well as managing SoundsOrange and iMediaLibrary, Anadi speaks and writes by request – including a regular column for Kindred Spirit magazine.

"My journey has taken me to remarkable places over the course of many years. The mission of SoundsOrange is to enable people from all over the world to enjoy their own journey of self discovery in their own way and in their own time." – Anadi Taylor
