Ricky Kej - One World, One Sound: Music as a Healing Force for Nature, Souls & Humanity

Sound Pathways with Ricky Kej, 3x Grammy winner, United Nations Goodwill Ambassador, Environmentalist.

When sound becomes service, it transforms everything it touches.

In this week’s Sound Pathways, I speak with 3× GRAMMY® winner and United Nations Goodwill Ambassador Ricky Kej, whose music bridges compassion, creativity, and environmental consciousness.

It’s a reminder that harmony isn’t just something we play — it’s something we live.
