✧ ABOUT MY MUSIC ✧ *
I dance like it’s breathing.
Someone told me that once. She was right.
As soon as I could stand in my crib, I was dancing.
I’ve had a musical gift since childhood, but growing up in trauma meant there was no reflection, no encouragement, no one naming what was already alive in me. My family was musical - my parents played in a band - and my childhood was spent on festival blankets, dancing in front of the speakers just to feel the beat move through my bones. Music became my refuge, my sanctuary, my first language.
When I hear music, I memorize the lyrics instantly.
My secret savant talent is winning Beat Shazam (and I usually can).
I even studied contemporary poetry in college, almost choosing it as my degree - because rhythm, metaphor, and language have always lived in my body.
Today, that love has become creation.
I’ve written lyrics used in professional songs, and I constantly write poetry.
For the past few years I’ve been producing electronic meditation music using Ableton and Logic Pro.
And then AI arrived as an unexpected collaborator - allowing me to take my lyrics, rhythm ideas, and melodic visions and turn them into fully realized compositions I never could have created alone. What began as music made for my own classes became my first EP… and also a 2.5-hour Music for Mystics playlist on YouTube.
I shared a song from “Initiation in Seven Fires” with a friend heard and she said, “GIRL! You have to get this OUT THERE.”
So I did.
My music isn’t entertainment.
It’s frequency.
It’s prayer.
It’s language made of breath and light and rhythm.
It’s the sound of a body remembering itself.
