MY MUSIC AND VOICE IS A TESTAMENT THAT NOTHING IS BEYOND HEALING AND NOTHING IS BEYOND REDEMPTION
For years, I drowned in the ocean of drug addiction, almost losing my life several times. My drug addiction took me to the brink of death, struggling with crippling debt and it kept me in a cycle of anxiety, shame and worthlessness for years and years. My entire body struggled to function under the strain of the abuse and stress. But the worst part of me was I also lost my voice. My precious voice that I had had since I was 3 years old. The voice that once upon a time made me so happy.
I did not know how to restore my voice. So in my desperation I asked God to help me
**God can mean what feels most true for you (The Creator, Source, Mother Nature or simply a force of love). This is not a space of religion it is a space of the God of our own understanding, of kindness and of love.***
My voice was indeed restored but it was gifted back to me entirely changed. I never knew how to improvise when I was growing up or even in my 20’s but when my voice was restored this is all I knew how to do. To surrender completely to the creation and allow the notes to flow, with no structure, no plan, no control. And this is how I have been singing for almost 3 years. Every note is a pure transmission in the moment. My recordings on streaming platforms are also the same – recorded in one take, no changes, no edits.
