Bartja moved to Seattle in 2001, after completing a master's degree in Social Work where his personal, work and musical life integrate the values of love, peace and social justice.Bartja is NOT a Christian, the modern movement that continues to move disturbingly further and further away from the REAL and PRESENT life and teachings of the Jesus, a Follower of Christ who writes and performs from spiritual roots that celebrate ways of living with intention from the power of the Spirit in which we "live, move and have our being," makes us one, and drives toward toward the ONE LIFE of political, economic and spiritual liberation for "the least of these." Bartja is an avid student of the writings of Christanity, New Thought, Buddhism, Judaism, and Cabbala, with recent studies in Islam.Bartja would be honored if you'd check out his sound, which some have described as "the perfect mix of joy and sorrow."
