My connection to music and singing began at a very early age. I always loved to sing, and til this day, I often catch myself humming unconsciously. I’ve dreamt of being a singer since my pre-teen years, and by High School, I began sharing videos online and singing in talent shows. Unfortunately, my self-criticism and perfectionism got the best of me and I feel into a complete silence for many years.

It wasn’t until the age of 22 that my healing journey brought my voice back. My musical ‘rebirth’ came after a series of powerfully healing ceremonies, in which I recognized how detrimental my silence was to my health on all levels. Through my inner work, I came to remember that my connection to music is and always will be at the core of my being. I finally began teaching myself the guitar, as I was inspired to learn and sing the medicine songs that were helping me heal. When I started sharing my authentic voice with my loved ones, and eventually, strangers, the reflections I received empowered me to continue doing what I loved. The more comfortable I became with taking up space, the more my voice emerged in ways that surprised me.  

I only began writing songs within the past two years. It was never something I could sit down and work on. I have only ‘written’ songs through spontaneous moments of inspiration and receptivity. This often happens when I am walking alone in the forest, or right after waking up in the morning. The words just come to me, and it it my job to let go of my mind’s need to direct the words, and simply allow them come through. Sometimes they come all at once, and sometimes they comes in pieces, and I have to connect them. I see this process as a co-creation between myself and something I cannot see, something I call Spirit.
