This is a collection of songs and chants I wrote from 2012-2023.

Change is a constant in life and this album celebrates that chaos as a joyful unfurling. One major theme is engagement with mystery and surrendering flow of life. Each song is created to re-tune my soul and call me home to myself.

All of it was recorded in my studio using garage-band, a Yeti microphone, and is done in collaboration with the ambient sounds of the French Quarter of New Orleans.

This album is dedicated to my darling cat Skit, my favorite collaborator, who is off dancing on the Milky Way.

Here is a blog post with my thoughts on the poetic offering embedded in each track.

May this music bring you expansive peace and vibrational joy.

Snow-dusted Carols 2020

1. Up On The Housetop
2. Good King Wenceslas
3. Auld Lang Syne

Album available for listening and download on bandcamp.

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to all my family and friends.

I felt inspired to record a few caroling songs as a way to send some winter merriment to those I love and miss dearly.

The songs are free to download.
These are handmade recordings done in my art studio playing a ukelele. They may not have crystal clear audio quality, but they do catch the joy in my heart and my love of this time of year.

First is Up On The Housetop cause its just a delight.

Then is Good King Wenceslas which is a song I have a special place for in my heart as my mother-line goes back to the Bohemian region of the Czech Republic which is where Saint Wenceslas is also from. Also I found a cute version of this song done by The Beatles which became the musical influence for my recording.

Finally, Auld Lang Syne because it felt like a fitting way to share a cup of kindness with y’all as we head into the new year.

Wishing everyone a warm and merry winter season, yuletide, and christmas holiday.

How To Heal A Broken Heart is a manifesto of love.

Released September 8, 2012

Included in this psycho-acoustic mix are songs, chants and drones layered with healing metaphors and vibrations.

This album was inspired by my year long journey through the Sound, Voice and Music Healing Certification at the California Institute of Integral Studies. Teachers from healing traditions all over the world taught how sound can be used to ground energy and cleanse our spirit. During that time I learned how to experience the kind of wild nurturing love that the human voice can radiate.

After the certification program was over I went through a period of retreat as I integrated the deep realignment my spiritual spine had gone through. Emerging into myself again I found I had a collection of songs written that echoed the archetypal shape of a shamanic journey through the dark night of the soul and back again into the light.

I was fortunate to be able to gather loving friends around me in Brooklyn during the recording of these songs. Each one added their own light to the project and the final product is a sonic circle of love.

I offer these songs back into the world as a way to share the wisdom and healing that was gifted to me.

This album is dedicated to the freedom of all voices.
