SEYJE

Seyje is a global artist, a multi instrumentalist guitar and piano based singer songwriter and instrumental new age pianist. From an early age he grew up listening to Indian popular music, including the melodic and classically minded music of Bollywood. Coupled with growing up in the US Midwest, and being an avid fan of rock music, his musical output reflects the strong influences of these two cultures.

Through his project, The Quiet Space, he composes improvisational piano which is inspirational and draws from life’s emotions and passions.  His music is heart filled and reflects the hopes and aspirations for achieving life’s affections.  His work is inspired by nature, and it takes the listener through an improvisation based sound experience, through elevated moods and emotions, helping to realize greater states and freedom and peace.  Career highlights include the 2020 release of The Quiet Space debut album “In Love”.  The debut single, which is the title track of the same name, highlights the poignancy, lightness, and intensity of his work.

He has recently returned to Los Angeles after living in Tulum Mexico  much of the past year, where he was performing instrumental piano concerts.

Montana State Representative Zooey Zephyr, the state's first transgender lawmaker, was barred by the Republican-controlled House from participating on the House floor for the remainder of the 2023 session.

Zephyr has spent much of her adult life working as a community advocate. She has worked to help integrate diversity, equity and inclusion. She has worked with the city of Missoula to draft human rights legislation tailored towards making justice more accessible to people who have experienced discrimination.
