Interview:
Art and music have served as the greatest healers, teachers, and therapists in my life. Whether it is journaling, writing music, playing music or visual art, my art brings me closer and closer to the core of my being, to the real essence of who I am. As I see it, the only parts of ourselves that keep us from truly loving and forgiving are the places of fear within us. Art allows us to explore those more vulnerable parts of ourselves, to really go deep into the vast world within, and then to express from a place of real truth when we touch it. Art that doesn’t come from that place of truth doesn’t hold much power. For me, art comes from a place where love and forgiveness are natural and come with ease, and that’s why I like to visit that space as much as possible.
Art and music represent unity. They are languages that communicate through feeling, emotion, and devotion. As a world with so many different traditions, languages, and ways of living, we need art to remind us to live openly. By sharing our messages of hope and love through art and music we put them into a universal language. Art is a reminder of how beautiful it is to do things differently, to be individual. If every song or every painting was the same they would lose their magic. If every person or every culture was the same, the world would lose its beauty as well.
My creative life changes me every day. Being creative requires us to be real with ourselves first. If I am living in a way that isn’t true for me, that isn’t aligned, then the music I create carries that vibration. My creative life inspires me to keep opening myself, keep exploring my depths, and as I change so does what I create. As I embrace a more creative life with art at the center of it, I have just watched those pressures fall away. Now the most important goal in my life is to live in a way that feels totally true and to let my heart be my compass. My prayer is that by being true to myself it will help others do the same. Uplifting each other is the best gift.
“Art and music serve as the greatest healers, teachers, and therapists in my life.”
