| Introduction | As far back as I can remember, music was my way in to the unseen world. Spirits, angels, flowers, trees had personalities that were alive to me. Born in Montreal, I went to a French Lycee, studying music privately. I skipped three grades and was at university at 16. I studied art/history/languages at McGill. There I began to practice yoga and meditation. The following year, I switched to architecture at Waterloo, where l experimented in performance art. Yoga/meditation was my sanity in school. After my degree, I spent a year in India to deepen my practice and complete my first of three yoga teacher programs. I met my guru Amma, who changed my life completely. I stopped living for other people’s dreams and began to serve the light within, which amplified my connection to the unseen, my gifts as a healer and my love for art. I returned to Montreal to open a yoga studio and pursue music. I found creative freedom in sculpting sound. The concept for my album and show Yoga In the Nightclub (YIN) came about organically as an expression of my life. My life is dedicated to awakening I am consciousness within myself and in all beings. |
