I am so blessed and grateful to have each of these wonderful expressions of the Divine so generously sharing their gifts and talents to create this album. And besides being amazing & creative musicians, they're some of my best friends. All but Chad have their own myspace pages which are in my top friends list. I encourage you to check out the unique mix of people that came together to create this album.
Influences: Each of my songs is a melodic delivery of life as I know and experience it. My greatest influences have been those that have inspired or nudged me to elevate my consciousness and rise above the smallness of seeing myself as separate to remembering myself as One with all. From this perspective I am influenced by the Still Small Voice (and my acceptance or denial of it and the ensuing consequences); Life's Lessons (humility, forgiveness, unconditional love, compassion, harmony, expression, creativity); Great Teachers of Truth including Jesus, Paramahansa Yogananda, Ernest Holmes; Wisdom Books including The Bible, Kaballah; Sufi poetry; each amazing angel that has entered my life and thus offer the opportunity to grow; My Blessed Family, Dear Friends and Beloved Prayer Partners. I am so grateful to United Centers for Spiritual Living, and specifically New Vision Spiritual Growth Center in Scottsdale, Arizona, for an amazing education and deepening in Spiritual Principle. Musically, my greatest influences have been melodically rich musicians with deep lyrics, including Jewel, Van Morrison, Dave Matthews Band, Beatles, Train, Blind Melon, Gomez. I honor, thank, and bless all Teachers of Truth and all Musicians for contributing to my music, knowing that we share a collective consciousness and each droplet of wisdom and creativity sends a ripple through the pond.
