Transforming the Darkness

It’s time!!

Transforming the Darkness is releasing this Monday under the full moon on all streaming services (Spotify, iTunes, etc.); all links can be found HERE. (Note: they won’t be available until the 3rd, but you can pre-order here on Bandcamp).

Please join us at the first live listening party on YouTube at 7 PM EST, where we will be having a lot of fun listening together in the chat. This is the real bread and butter, as I am SO excited to be with this community as it streams for the first time ever.

If you resonate with me and my work I know you will be deeply shifted and inspired by this album and it would mean so much to me if you would listen to and share it with other music/freedom/spirituality/truth loving people!

If you’re interested in learning more about the album and the process of creating it, please keep reading.

I have been dreaming of birthing this album for what feels like all of my life.

A concept album that I had conceived years ago, this is a spiritual journey through the heart of the darkness and into the light.

From the fear, the evil, the pain, the deep collective shadow and transforming into the purest unconditional love, light, and truth I know, this album is an artistic reflection of all of it. My friend described listening to it as “walking through a portal”.

If there is anything I can promise you, it is that this album is unique both in sound and in poetry. And, that it is STRAIGHT from my heart; the love emanating from it is palpable.

Though the music, the lyrics, and the artistic side seemed to flow so freely throughout this whole process, when it comes to breaking out of old boxes and learning LOTS of new things (about myself and creation), it was certainly not easy and at many points felt like the hardest thing I have ever done. Many parts of me had to die and be reborn to see this through. The amount of growth I was able to experience in creating this album (the writing, the recording, the composing, the mixing, the artwork, the publishing, the FAITH, etc.) feels surreal, and I feel like that also shines through this work. Regardless of what ripples it creates once it is out in the world, to me it is truly a masterpiece and I am very thankful and proud.

I am immensely grateful to be able to independently publish a whole album knowing that just a couple decades ago it would have been nearly impossible to do all the things I have been able to do without the direct assistance (and influence) of major record labels. Though doing almost everything by myself (for the first time) was certainly a challenge (at times very scary), it was such a blessing as I really got to make all the most intimate decisions about it as an artist at every step. Especially, I got the choice to purposely do things differently than they’ve been done in the past, in ways that feel edgy and more authentic to me as an artist. Having this level of FREEDOM in an industry that has been controlled for so long feels REALLY good and I wish that for all artists.

This is important to me because I think great art is not only about beauty, but it is about breaking out of the norms and informing society in a way that only art can do. It is (to me) about being a messenger, ideally from the most high. Going into this Aquarian age, I feel like we are on the precipice of MANY revolutions- an artistic revolution DEFINITELY being among them.

Much of the mainstream art has become so regurgitated and over-produced and in a way (in my humble opinion) a bit irrelevant in light of the deep soul-shaking transformation and awakening that so many of us are now going through. I feel much of the old Piscean era of art honoring fantasy is making its way for an Aquarian era of honoring reality-though we shall see how it unfolds! In 2023 it feels there is no shortage of fantastical illusions-what many people hunger for is the TRUTH more than ever.

The truth shall set us free-which is why I love creating interesting music that communicates that.

And let it be recognized – telling the truth in a world of illusion can be a VERY scary thing to do!

There were SO many times I was stuck upon seemingly insurmountable mountains that in the end all turned out to be mole holes. Mainly, my own inner critic/ego that was absolutely mortified of coming out with something so original, so vulnerable, and so honest at the same time. It challenged all of my beliefs to the very end.

But deep inside, it actually felt like I had no choice: I had to see this soul creation through. I knew quitting was never an option, regardless of how much willpower/time/energy/money it would end up taking-it would be worth it- and it so was.

Being an artist is truly a most incredible experience.

I know all music created from the heart is medicinal. I feel in these songs there is a deep collective medicine that can be tangibly felt and experienced by the listeners, as the album progresses. I was guided very clearly to create the album entirely in 432 Hz tuning and weave in very beautiful sounds of nature to seal in each spiritual activation of a song.

It is my intention that you will receive all of the potent light codes in each song and be a part of this bright vision of my heart. I hope this album creates massive ripples of love, inspiration, freedom, alignment, and truth for the highest good. While this is far from meditation music, its very spiritual nature is worth meditating with. I know my very soul is woven in to this music.

And if that sounds almost freakishly intimate- that is because it is 😂 I am not exaggerating with what an intense process this was to create!

I could go on and on and in future posts, I’m sure I will. But for now I leave it at that.

If you resonate with me and my work I know you will be deeply shifted and inspired by this album and it would mean so much to me if you would listen to and share it with other music/freedom/spirituality/truth loving people!
