Music
Join me on a heart awakening journey through songs, lyrics and music videos.
The right music is a doorway to connecting with something much greater than the self. It can awaken the heart, enable healing and help us feel the essence of who we really are.
I started singing, writing lyrics, and playing guitar in 2000 at the age of 42. I mainly play fingerstyle weaved with some rhythm.
My songs blend folk melodies with nuances of pop, country and eastern mantra music. May you find something here that touches your heart .
I came here knowing who I am
Then I was sentenced to sleep
And told to follow the sheep
As I left the sheep to graze alone
I discovered a different tone
A space where I could roam
A place I’ve always known
Good music is the voice of God, which tries to purify the heart and illumine the mind. Music is one of the best healers of disease, grief, unhappiness, mental disorders, and general depression. Listen to the music which helps you come to terms with life. Make music your daily companion into worlds unseen, unknown.

In my heart my home:
I've lived in lots of other places and lots of other spaces. I've been lost, and I've been found, but wherever I go I'm reminded of where you are, in my heart in my home.
I’ve been consumed with my fear and lost what I thought was dear, only to discover nothing was lost. For wherever I go I find new things to be found, in my heart my home.
I know now this was always home, while I was looking for somewhere else.And now it’s clear that I was wasting my time, looking for a greener grass on the other side.
