Sound Healing
'Sonic Heart' - Dreaming in Song time.
A project developed with Mexican musician and artist Adrian Arturo which aims to transport the listener into an altered state of conciousness, a deep Theta state and to travel a sonic & somatic journey. Using harp, drum, voice and a variety of instruments both acoustic and electronic, this experiece is unique every time. It is an improvised concert, allowing something other than oursleves to come through and moving out of the way to allow ourselves as musicians, as singers, to be 'sung', to be used as an intrument of that which is greater, a force at once external and internal. This musical experience is both relaxing and restorative and is a concert like no other.

"My musical journey has been anything but conventional and is profoundly interwined with my travels, I have had many adventures and lived many lives along the way, I have been taken down rabbit holes ,which have led to bamboo forests, mountain caves, big stages, little stages and most of all, an exploration of self & of the mystic, through music & song.
I started singing when I was 17, having the opportunity to perform with Jim Rodford's ( the Bass player from the famous British band 'The Kinks'. Jazz band, .and so began my musical journey.
At 19, I left England to sing in a Jazz and Blues band in Old Nice, France, and by 21, I was singing back -up vocals in the Caribbean Islands of St Croix and St Thomas, in a Reggae band called 'Culture Vibes'.
It was here that I cut my teeth learning to work and perform in a band. In between I had managed to graduate from a BA Honours in Creative and Performance studies & Philosophy of Religion at the University of Portsmouth, UK.
After my Caribbean adventure, I co-created 'Calquahoun'; a fusion and world music band, where I shared lead vocals.
We played regularly on the South Coast of the UK and then stepped outer -national to return to the US Virgin Isles and Antigua.
My next project was to sing and write in the Brighton band 'Jahmma' a five year project which boasted nationalities stretching from Eygpt - Madagascar, Indonesia and the Caribbean; that saw regular performances across the UK, at festivals, carnivals, and included the awesome experience of supporting legendary artists 'The Wailers', 'Sly and Robbie' among others.
At this point in my story I was a regular feature - singing free style, on some of the UK Dub Sound Systems, including Unity HIFI, Defcon, Kings Hifi, and Channel One.
In 2009 I went on to be part of the Brighton project 'Satta', a live sound system combining turntables and live flute, sax, trumpet and myself on vocals. This led to a collaboration between myself and producer'; Rob O Hara - aka 'Mute Speaker' and together, we wrote, recorded and produced an E.P. and Album, which we performed extensively at venues and festivals in the U.K. and Ireland.
In 2012 I left the UK for what was to be a 6 month recording project in Mexico, as it goes sometimes in life, it turned out to be an epic adventure from which I have never returned.
I have now been living in Mexico for over 10 years, have recorded 3 albums, and have firmly established myself as a recording artist, performer, facilitator and retreat leader.
I have developed my own solo project using a Loop pedal titled 'Luz y Lupita, and I founded 'Voice Medicine' ; a therapeutic process for facilitating transformation and expression through singing and voice work.
I was also fortunate enough to train in 'Theta Healing' and study with other healers, teachers of traditional medicine & 'Curanderismo' here in Mexico. This has led to a development of my sound healing and theta - state work and given a much deeper dimension to the work I do and the music I create.
I am a qualified teacher of Creative Arts, holding a BA Honours and a Post -Graduate teaching qualification (QTS).
I taught for over 10 years in the UK in a variety of settings, including secondary education, special needs and delvered music workshops for child refugees and asylum seekers.
Since then, I have worked independently, designing and facilitating group classes, workshops and one to one sessions.
The extension of my work can be experienced as a personalized retreat, held at Casa Ixchel, my home in the mountains of Southern Mexico.
My journey has been anything but conventional and it has permitted me to learn many skills along the way. My variety of experience has informed the work I do and the music I write.
My latest project is a collaboration with UK producer 'Jackarack', a 5 track E.P. 'Cat in the Cupboard'
which was written and recorded in Mexico, mixed and produced in the United Kingdom.
And so the journey continues onwards...'
