Inside the Voice
“The first time I sang in rapturous abandon, I was a child. My Spirit kissed my skin and my skin kissed my Spirit. It was then my journey began as the wisdom of my soul ushered every experience and refined skill to serve as a conduit of sound and transformation through Voice, Music and Film. Destiny quietly waits for awakening until it is ignited by the spark that touches others to the core of creation and oneness…
As my heart opens, translucent nectar moves through my throat. My body vibrates, I feel my cells transforming from matter to particles of light. A portal opens as the connection between heaven and earth happens and all in the presence of this experiences the same as the songs are sung. The only way I can define it is, divine meets creation in a unified field of vibration. This is when I know I am doing my job and all that emerges becomes grace for everyone to experience.”
At an early age, I was inspired listening to canters, East Indian Sanskrit chanting, Mid Eastern instrumentals and West African chant and rhythms. This exposure initiated my Life’s work in the ancient and diverse world of chant, music, and sound of indigenous cultures. Immersing myself in these environments is a life’s journey and has strongly influenced my voice and musical creations.
My career started early as a singer and composer. I studied voice and music at the Conservatory of Music however found the unpaved path of the ancient’s knowledge of sound, song and voice was more true to my heart and soul.
The course in my life and career had taken a pivotal turn because of a healing experience. The tones, harmonics, range and textures of my voice lead me on a transforming journey while it served as medicine to complete balance. I realized cultivating my vocals with harmonics and textures can have the same positive effect on audiences. Songs emerge as transforming vibrational healing fields carrying messages of awakening opened me up to a completely different perspective on what performing truly is and meant to be on my journey.
Indigenous cultures use chant and sound to commune with the cycles of nature and the universe. Day to day life is synchronized with the rhythms of the earth, and momentum of the cosmos. The Ancients have genetically cultivated acute sensitivity and awareness that we are one with all of creation. Sound, singing and chant are a means to commune through a vibratory wavelength that transforms and unifies because of the nature of consciousness.
Immersion in meditation, ancient teachings, yoga, and chant opens portals to a deeper awakening to the profound healing, heart expanding and elevating effects of voice.
The arena of music and film are platforms far beyond the purpose of entertainment. Creating an environment of collective energy designed to inspire and unify.
