In the early 2000s, while still living in Poland, I discovered the music of Igneous Flame – specifically his very first album, Tolmon. I didn’t reach out to him at the time. Instead, I spent months creating art while listening to this music, letting it move through me and deeply inspire my creative process. A few months later, Pete Kelly reached out to me – he had found my work through my art. We soon discovered that we were born on the same day and that our life journeys mirrored each other in many ways. From that moment on, we began a long-standing collaboration, continually inspiring one another on what feels like a shared journey back to the stars. At that time, I had almost forgotten that I was a musician too. Over the years, through losing my voice and becoming separated from my instruments, that part of me had gone dormant. Yet as a child, I was already recording my singing at the age of three and playing the accordion. All those years, I had simply channeled my energy into visual art – though in truth, I was always drawing music and anchoring frequencies through form, color, shadow & light. I was always allowing sound to guide me. During this entire period, I collaborated with Pete by creating album cover artwork for fifteen of his releases. As I began the journey of reclaiming my voice, he was one of the key people who gently nudged me toward recording again. My very first musical collaboration was with him – the album Cobra. That release was profoundly empowering and marked a major step in reclaiming myself as a musician. He featured my voice and didgeridoo, weaving them seamlessly into his sonic landscapes.

Ever since then, I have stepped much more deeply into offering sound healing. As I reclaimed my voice, I began using it in service to others – guiding them back to their hearts. Drawing from the wisdom gained during my own journeys through darkness, I now help others navigate surrender and attune to the light. I now teach others how to listen & travel between the worlds.
In many ways, this path was brilliant – it gently yet powerfully compelled me to practice music far more consistently. I am also continually collaborating with others, harmonizing, learning, and growing through shared creation in an accelerated way. After spending years believing I was “not good enough” as a musician, I slowly began to access deeper layers of mastery – moments that arise whenever I release control, become a clear vessel, and fully trust the flow. I also carried a strong reference for states of mastery through my rich dreamworld. Musical dreams were always my favorite.
Our second collaborative album, Pulsar, turned out to be even more extraordinary. To this day, it still feels surreal that I now get to collaborate in this way with such great masters. My journey has continually pushed me deep within myself – and from that inner descent, I now dare to dream this vision fully into my lived reality.

Today is a very special day – one that truly inspired me to begin this blog: to share my reflections, and to share my voice in yet another way. Today marks the release of our new collaborative single, Surrender the Self.
Created as a sonic ritual, this piece opens a space for deep inner release, ancient remembrance, and surrender to the subtle forces guiding our becoming. Beyond my voice, this album also features one of my currently emerging paintings.

Across all of my creative expressions, I have been reclaiming something I deeply loved as a child – leaping into the abyss of the unknown with full trust, only to discover that we can fly. Darkness is a gateway to our light.
