"Magnetic Wind is what my intention was with my music from it's origins back in 1998 and my solo album in 2004, Voices of My Ancestors. Acting as a conduit for the sacred, my hope is that you connect with my music soulfully, throughout your spirit, and the power of the universe to revel in beauty inside you."
