Set Yourself Free



Her struggling hands, she made a plan that she sticks to

everyone's telling her give in, but she doesn't

Her home, that she left behind; her struggling mind, stays quiet

Could she be crazy? Well, maybe she is

could she be smarter? Does she try harder than me?

could she be lonely? Surely but

There's nothing in her heart that says


You can't, you won't, you'll fail, and you're wrong

you're tough, my love; better free yourself

Cause common opinion's wrong

the ignorant stay strong

until you prove them wrong

leave them blissful in their stories

but set yourself free


Cause common opinion's wrong

the ignorant stay strong

until you prove them wrong

leave them blissful in their stories

but set yourself free


Cause common opinion's wrong

the ignorant stay strong

until you prove them wrong

leave them blissful in their stories

but set yourself free

Songs


A guitar, a voice, and a little love—here I found my home in the world.


I grew up listening to Simon And Garfunkel, Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, Cat Stevens, Tracy Chapman, and many other folk legends.


Music teaches me to surrender and flow with life. To let go, let my little soul play, and the song naturally arises in that space. I capture that moment live with minimal production. My wish is for the songs to come alive in you.

My journey in art started in torment as a fifteen-year-old girl. Life was suffocating me, and I felt small. The world was hostile, and I had no voice. I was cloaked in layers of pain that kept me from experiencing and expressing my soul authentically. Thankfully, music found me.


Songs came to me in dreams, and I jotted them down. I taught myself to play the guitar and slowly broke out of my shell. Arriving at authenticity through art is a spiritual journey. Each art session is a purge—a rewriting of destiny with each sharing of art.


It took me fifteen years to free my little soul from the tar I collected. Today, I freely express myself and feel alive. This, to me, is a miracle as I think back to where it all started.


Today, art is my spiritual discipline, a meditation—A direct experience of my soul aligned with the flow of life. Through art, I experience God. Through art, I surrender layers of my past to discover who I truly am.


I share The Spiritual Path Of Art through my podcast, books, and community. It is my wish that you find your place in the world as an artist!
