THE HEALER PROJECT
“Healer” was the start of something deeply spiritual for me. During its creation in the middle of the performance was an incredible journey inward. The Healer Project was gifted through this same energy. I had no idea I was working on an album until there were roughly 8 tracks of magical musicianship I was in awe of creating an all-in-one take with the piano. I’ve come to a core of understanding of myself giving myself away to the experience. The Healer Album is available on all digital platforms.
