| THE JOURNEY |
|
"I discovered a lifeline in music.
Divine music came to my ear beyond any conscious intent and often arrived with words and chords complete. It was through sound that I discovered bliss and peace in the midst of the stormy sea. "Music creation is a continual uncovering of treasure, a redefining of self and experience, instantaneously, and often surprisingly, beyond any previously held bounds. "Due to the freedom music brings me to create entirely new worlds, and the effortlessness with which songs come, I knew early on that my work in this life is to write and perform music that bathes myself and the listener in beauty and truth, for the sake of my and our evolution. "Sound is the most powerful mechanism for showing oneself and others the soul, and I wish to gift the world the music that has transported me to my true self, to deeper feeling, deeper life, deeper love. These sounds come from our shared humanity, with a pure intention of heart, and they are as much your creation as they are my own." -Mahalakshmi |
