VEE NELSON

In 2013, fourteen year old  Southern California native Vee Nelson burst into the music scene with her debut pop single and subsequent video, “Swing of Love.” 

Refusing to be pigeonholed into the oversaturated young pop star market, Vee set herself apart following the catchy “Swing of Love” by infusing soul, rock, and pop to create a surprisingly sophisticated sound. She then boldly paired this sound with lyrical content that is relatable for all ages, and a voice (both literally and figuratively) that is reminiscent of Billi Holiday and Patsy Cline with the gusto of Celine Dion. 

Her debut EP appropriately titled “Kaleidoscope” showcases the artist’s versatility as a triple threat (singer, songwriter, AND musician). From the soul searching ballad, “Surrender” to the anti-bullying anthem “Stronger Now,” Vee takes her listeners on the universal journey of despair and hope through the eyes of someone who is coming of age, while simultaneously reflecting on her youth. 

The much-anticipated follow up to the Kaleidoscope EP is excepted to be released soon and is already getting huge buzz based on the nostalgic summer feeling single “Crash,” and the titillating single “Dangerous” that is featured on E! Network’s hit reality show Total Bellas. Vee’s trendy and wearable merchandise line is also fueling the hype surrounding her sophomore album and fans everywhere can’t wait to see what’s next! 

You do not want to miss what’s coming up for this rising artist! 

Vee has performed numerous times at the House of Blues in both San Diego and Anaheim as well as the infamous Chain Reaction of Anaheim and The Legacy Room.

Guest Biography:

KAREN V. JOHNSON, JD

Karen Johnson’s 27 year-old son Ben died due to a drug overdose. One night he was at a party with his friends, they got drunk and decided to try heroin for the first time. While all of his friends tried the same drug, Ben was the only one to overdose.  Instead of calling 911 and give Ben the lifesaving help he needed, the dealer spent his time disposing of the drugs and cleaning his place of evidence, all while Ben lay there dying. 

Karen’s fast-paced life and 30-year career as a federal judge came to an abrupt halt as she was enveloped in unrelenting grief for the loss of her son. It was immediately after his death that Ben’s spirit began to communicate with her, and while this level of connection was foreign to Karen, she followed Ben’s nudges and her world has never been the same.  

Having an unsupportive work, that initially allowed Karen only 2-hours off to attend her son’s funeral, she became unable to reconcile her working life with her communications with the spirit world. So Karen did the unexpected, she quit her job, sold her house with all her belongings, and went on a 2½ year journey that took her all over the world.

Led by her son in spirit, Karen’s path took her to a shamanic spiritual practice of healing. 

Karen V. Johnson, JD, is a graduate of Georgetown Law Center (J.D.), a former Fulbright Scholar in Afghanistan, and holds Masters Degrees in Public Health and Public and International Affairs (MPH, MPIA). Karen is a retired federal administrative law judge who practiced criminal and energy law for more than 30 years. She also is a former U.S. Army officer, Major, USAR (inactive). Karen was personally trained by Alberto Villoldo, and is faculty at the Four Winds Society and a Master Practitioner of Energy Medicine.

 

“Living Grieving: Using Energy Medicine to Alchemize Grief and Loss” (Hay House, July 7, 2021), is her first book.

“In this time of what feels like fast-food spirituality, it’s refreshing to hear from a shamanic kindred sister who has undergone such a powerful journey so fully and has reemerged to reclaim her new life while sharing her wisdom and journey with the world.”

– Linda Star Wolf, Ph
