Guest, Maya Fiennes
MAYA FIENNES
Maya Fiennes may be better known in the yogi and holistic health arena but her music has penetrated beyond the yoga mat. Macedonian born Maya has combined her talents as a successful classical pianist and performer with her upbeat personality to create a unique sound that lays a heavy hand on the Kundalini yoga she has been practicing for 20 years. Her music has always been tempered by the unfolding tragedies he Balkan homeland, influencing the natural optimism and exuberance of her songs with hints of darkness and melancholy.
Love Now – the new single from her forthcoming album ‘SHIFT” – has Maya’s vulnerable vocals sing the mantra Sat Siri Siri Akal, which sits perfectly on the uplifting and stirring instrumental bed co-written with LA based composer Danny Cocke. As with every track on the album, ‘Love Now’ has been written to a specific frequency. 528hz. The Love Frequency. Once could say it is perfectly timed as this mantra – also known as the ‘Aquarian Mantra’ – is said to impart deep sense of peace to the chanter or singer. It brings courage and victory. This is something that should resonant strongly during these chaotic times.
“This is the point where ambient, dance, world and classical music all meet, at the crossroads of quiet dignity and power….” [Q Music]
Life Changes Show
Come and join the conversation about what's going on and what we can do together about it, with it, and for it. We have the choice, we have the power. We can do magic if we just believe!
A show about the changes going on in us, to us, around us, and because of us. Therefore, it's technically a show about "Everything," only with a how to make it better, see it better, be better.
In the show, there is talk about, and with, people who have either been through major changes, are helping others with major changes, or people who are changing the world for the better in a major way.
The show is a one-hour talk show format with a monologue by the host, a 30 minute interview with a guest of note, capped by a "Producer's Wrap" segment, in which Filippo and Co-Host Mark Laisure, and sometimes surprise guests, bring it all home for the listeners in a sometimes humorous and sometimes touching, but always entertaining conversation.
