Bio

In 2007 after 4 years of intense working and living in London I experienced a stress attack. I felt that my life had lost its direction and focus. Facing a dead-end, I acknowledged that I have not been living my life to its full potential. Acknowledging this helped me to accept my responsibilities for the experiences that I was living daily. It was only then that I got the first glimpse into the realisation that I am the sole architect of my life. I decided to quit my job, quit my life and restructure it according to my dreams and ideals. I departed on this journey with the wish of acquiring knowledge on sustainable living and permaculture.

On my first destination someone spoke to me about a new revolutionary instrument. In my heart and in my soul, I knew that moment that my future was directly related to this instrument. Three months after, a Hang was enjoying the comfort of my lap. My departure to a whole new journey of music and personal introspection had just began. The frequencies of the instrument and the physics around the freedom of playing engage the player in a new experience of the self. My life has changed inside out and although the Hang has been a valuable tool in this transformation, it is always the human energy that drives the energies of change in our lives. There is something magical that happens to me when I play : I get in touch with myself on a different way, I let my emotions out freely, without words, only pure music. My emotions, the instruments, life and the unity between us in the present moment.

Almost five years have passed since the day I acquired my first Hang. Looking back I see two solo albums, a collaborating CD with Gong master Don Conreaux, a contribution to the soundtrack of the the movie “Man at sea” by greek director K. Giannaris, two documentaries, beautiful collaborations, lives at venues around the world, fund raising events and charity lives at hospitals. I am grateful to myself and all the souls around me who helped with their energy and work to accomplish all the above.
