“Music is my vehicle for sharing universal love and light, with others.” “Music is a universal language that transcends time and place.” “It is the language of love, and love is our true essence.” Chanting and vocalizing are a beautiful way for us to connect with true source and our inner place of harmony, joy and peace.

“In early 2007 I decided to write an album for solo piano. Each piece was to be composed spontaneously and intuitively from a deep space within.
The result is a collection of free-flowing melodies each with it’s own unique story.
From the uplifting ‘innocence’ to the sublime beauty of ‘nurture’. ‘After the storm’ will take you on a journey that touches the heart and soul.
This album is ideal for reflection, relaxation and inspiration.”
