Michael Mollura, Music Connection Magazine & LA Yoga Magazine says, "I highly recommend this artist to anyone who enjoys inspiring music from one of the true pioneers of world music in our time.  She is not just for the yogis out there. Her voice is an inspiration to anyone who is a student or fan of voice on any level, of any genre..."
I also had the honor and pleasure to meet her, hear her perform and play with her a few years ago.  She is a presence not to be missed; one of the great spiritual voices of our time.
