Sound & Music

"I started singing at the age of twelve, when I discovered that I had a voice and could sing. I realized it was something that made me feel good. When you sing, you are releasing, and someone else is hearing, so they are receiving. When you can see that they are starting to feel what you are feeling as you release it, I said, this is medicine. Through that medicine, it allowed me to have that exchange with others. I realized that in some of my darkest times and in some of my biggest celebrations, there was music. When I understood the power of the voice from singing and speaking, doing theater, being able to express outside of the framework of how you live or who you are, it afforded me an opportunity to heal. I said, well, if I could bottle this up and teach others some of these simple tools and techniques."
