Stuart Fuchs is a lifelong musician, a performing and teaching artist who, during a spontaneous public jam session with jazz legend Dave Brubeck at age 19, encountered the spiritual power of music that changed the course of his life forever.
“As we played together I forgot myself entirely...something larger than myself took over and was playing the music for me...I was now an empty vessel for music to be channeled through me. My hands were doing things I couldn’t have done if I practiced 10,000 hours!”

That taste of musical nectar still inspires Stuart to this day and he now performs a wide range of musical styles and presents his innovative and joyful music workshops around the globe. For years, Stuart led the award winning Django Reinhardt style gypsy jazz band “Babik”, playing at festivals and with symphony orchestras. As a solo artist, he presents at ukulele festivals across the USA, Canada & beyond.

In addition, Stuart currently tours and records with the renowned sacred chant (Kirtan) artist Snatam Kaur, playing classical guitar and ukulele in support of her healing meditation music in concert halls worldwide.

Stuart is deeply committed to a humanistic, holistic and empowering vision of music education and for twenty years has led his joyfully innovative music workshops & clinics for all ages and populations - from Pre-K children to Fortune 500 CEO’s, from college music students to developmentally disabled adults.
For eight years Stuart worked as an artist-in-residence at Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo NY - in 2014 was awarded a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts for his work bringing the healing arts to cancer patients, their families and hospital staff at Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo NY. He is grateful for all the life lessons learned through the deep work at the hospital.

Stuart offers an annual holistic ukulele retreat called "Ukulele Zen" where he playfully blends meditation, yoga and qigong practice with the ukulele - this allows participants to learn how to access a much greater ease when playing. Stuart is an endorsing artist with Kala Ukuleles and Planet Waves.
