“No Veo Nada” was written using a piece of Zezé Fassmor’s poetry. Zezé became blind at 25, 10 years ago, due to a rare disease (sympathetic ophthalmia) resulting from a penetrating eye injury. Despite all of the obstacles that he has confronted he has moved forward, creating his own poetry and promoting other artists and musicians. Living in between reality and the dream world, he finds peace through acceptance, diving deep into his being, and his desire to live and love. Symbolically through this song, I am the “dulce voz,” the sweet voice, helping him to “see the horizon”.

I am so honored to be featured on the cover of Irie Mag, a publication which consistently features women in music and lesser known artists and that the timing aligned perfectly to share “No Veo Nada”, my collaboration with my friend and poet Zezé Fassmor from Peru.

Hello!
My new single “No Veo Nada” is releasing on May 20, 2021! It was written using a piece of Zezé Fassmor’s poetry. Zezé became blind at 25 as a rare consequence of an eye injury. The Peruvian-Argentinian poet is now 34, and in his poem he describes how he now perceives the world, as one eye is dead and the other shines perpetual in bright white, as it still has some neural activity. It is like having one eye in the new moon and one eye as a sun. Living in between reality and the dream world, he finds peace through acceptance, diving deep into his being, and his desire to live and love. Symbolically through this song, my voice is the “dulce voz,” the sweet voice, helping him to “see the horizon”.
Júlio Mesquita’s graphic artwork for this powerfully symbolizes the way that Zezé visualizes his world.

“No Veo Nada” features drums by Jayme Arredondo of classic Don Carlos reggae band, guitar by Tomas Salcedo of Fantastic Negrito and Kora (a West African harp) by Yacouba Diarra.
Can’t wait for you to hear this one!
In honor of Earth day – this video captures the beauty of nature, the animals, the Sun, the Moon, basic elements which unite us all. For me, this is a song about living and loving life in the present moment. It is the feeling of being at peace with the beauty of the challenges it brings.
The video was shot along my favorite hike in the SF Bay area. I have dreamt for a very long time how I could share this journey, which I make often, with everyone that is not physically here. I think we captured its essence. It has a surprise ending 🙂

🌱 Today is Spring and the Equinox; Rebirth is Ubiquitous. Silver linings are crystal clear… what I love is right here. In my insignificance, I have the power to transform. It starts with one drop of water to make plants grow. ⠀
I am honored to share that my new album, “Space to Play,” will drop on the Autumnal Equinox, September 22, 2021, when once again, light and dark will equate. I look forward from now until then to continue to share my muse, through music and imagery. I hope to inspire something in you. What are your priorities? How will you bloom?
