It’s been a couple months since I chose to jump back into this recording adventure. My previous project (Show Your Love) fell short from fruition, the recordings are on this site, but it didn’t feel right to finish producing the EP. Instead, I gave myself some time to cool down, bring my excitement back to the earth, and find a new approach to get the best version of my music out there.
Choosing to record this full-length album with Tierro Lee was a no-brainier. He’s got the experience, the community and he can play lead guitar like a king. Working with him has been an absolute blessing, but it hasn’t come without its heavy share of frustrations, fears and anxiety. He keeps reminding me that these feelings are part of the process, and I keep pushing forward, with a clear vision of what I want to share with the world.
Some of the songs in this album were written over five years ago, others are quite resent. The album has a wide arrange of keys, tempos and rhythms, and no song is like any other, but they all have one thing in common, their intention, to remind you of your divinity.
That’s what Divino BetSatori is all about. Rising our consciousness to that place where all things are part of the same. Opening our minds to the vision of unity consciousness, and having fun with the understanding, that we are here forever, no one is going anywhere.
Knowing this you can understand how contradictory it is to bring so much wisdom with these songs, while finding myself so caught up on the details, attached to the fruits of my labor, regardless of how many times I’ve heard Budha and Krishna telling me to do the exact opposite:
Quiet them thoughts, drop into the heart…
But, I am still human, regardless of how many times I have sang these songs. At the same time, these words keep seeping in and out of my cells, cleansing old patterns, while empowering me, and everyone who hears them, to rise above everyday thinking, and sit in the throne of our soul.
I have no doubt, more challenges will continue to arise, from budgeting, to time, to artistic conundrums that I can’t even foresee right now. Who knows what the future will bring? What I do know, is that my heart keeps asking me to do this, and I have no choice but to continue to move forward, one step after the other.
At the end of the day, it’s all about following our passion, staying true to ourselves, and doing the best we can in every moment,
to remember our divinity.
