Sounds Like:
East-West sound. I like being in the intersection of different styles
and cultures. I look for originality and sincere and coherent emotional expression. All the music I'm attracted to has a strong spiritual energy.
Music is my religion. It is also a language unto itself and an amazing
vehicle of communication.
Music is a healing art--a meditational and
transformational tool. Music takes us deep into our ancestry--in the
beginning there was sound. We hear sound from the womb before we
are born and it is the last sense to go when we die.
