When I tell you that singing saved my life, I am not exaggerating. I grew up with a song on my lips all the time, and it really mattered not what I was singing.

Later in life, I came to know that the voice chakra is connected to all the other chakras in the body, which made a lot of sense to me, as singing felt like I was sipping my emotions out with a sound like a big straw that could alleviate whatever I was feeling.

I like to use the word ‘voice’ rather than singing, because of the tremendous pressure we feel to sound like a performer. However, in its raw essence the voice is a way to move energies, to connect, to harmonize, to heal, to go beyond, to travel to any part of yourself, literally through dimensions.

As women, we have shut down this powerful portal in many ways, and in so many spheres of life from the personal, social and political. Through my playful interactions of sound exploration, I wish to give you back some of that freedom of expression.
