About Me

Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor - Image Hosting

Am I nothing but a transparent onion wrapped in the tinfoil of existence peeling away the layers to reveal the brilliancy of that which rests within. I am a lover of the ocean, forests, mangos that drip, apa'a apa'a winds, waterfalls, fresh squeezed orange juice, star filled skies, moonbows, pueos in the night and all Sacred Light. I am here to learn what I can and serve my brothers and sisters. I am a massage therapist, and I love my work. I am an ever expanding student of culture, music & dance. I teach hip hop to elementary school kids, and West African classes weekly to whomever wants to free up to some rippin' traditional live drumming. (Give thanks for "da boys") I am the director of Lavaroots Performing Arts and we perform island wide. I play some drums, dance all the time, sing and write a lot. I have just finished my first solo album, with some fantastic musicians and it is now available on cdbaby.com/cd/michalanna, digstation.com and the iTunes store. Check it out and thanks so much for your support! Let's create together the world we want...ONE LOVE! Feel free to get in touch...PEACE & ALOHA!!
