About Me

Part woman, part angel, part philosopher, part chocolate....

"Barbara has a voice and a depth of writing that moves the heart and reaches the soul."

The only thing that REALLY matters is that we wake up.

Meanwhile, you can see me performing my song "King Of My Heart" in the British comedy movie, "Confetti" (2006) during the naturist wedding scene. Or you can buy my albums "Play My Heart" and "Amore Vincit Omnia" (Love Wins All) from my website: http://www.barbarajhunt.com.

I was once told, by a friend who was quoting some ancient wisdom, that in order to become a perfect painter, first you become perfect and then you just paint.

This is partly what's kept me so long. Then I realized what was so about perfection, and decided it was time to get out there... Plus I love making music so much, my painting gets neglected.

I write songs about what fascinates me: the mysteries of life, the universe and everything, science, art, being human; in particular - love, sex, spirit, and chocolate, occasionally all in the same song although actually, I haven't written anything about chocolate yet. I also have a strict "no dolphins" policy in all my lyrics...

During the recording process of my most recent album "Play My Heart", I remember standing in my kitchen late one evening, listening to a Leonard Cohen song, and after it had ended, I felt better, ..home.., healed. And I thought ..that's what I want my songs to do, too...

"BUT WHAT DOES SHE MEAN; "INTEGRAL SINGER-SONGWRITER"??? - I think of myself as an Integral Artist which means that I am living and working out of an awareness that aims to encompass all aspects of my being - physical, emotional, spiritual, shadow, my inner and outer life and as a person of my local, national, global and kosmic communities. Check out the Integral Institute at www.integralnaked.org and they'll explain everything. Seriously - pretty much EVERYTHING...

love meanwhile
