Harmony has been playing the flute since she was a little child, growing up in Liverpool. She trained as a classical musician on flute, violin and piano, playing in local orchestras and festivals, including studies at the Royal Northern College of Music, Cambridge University (Gonville and Caius College) and Trinity College of Music. She was also a keen composer of contemporary classical music in her teens, receiving a prize for composition from the Royal Northern College of Music for her Wind Quintet and having a piece for orchestra, 'Echo On', performed in a workshop by the Britten Ensemble.
In 2005 she moved to London and recorded an album of improvised solo flute music, 'Internal Sunshine'. Her flute playing has been sampled by psychedelic trance DJs such as Pete Ardron (2006) and Pituko. She has recorded and performed with various musicians including Teresa Gabriel, the Milk and Honey band, Pete Ardron, KP the Hip Hop Bard, Antarma, Maya Metcalfe and Assi Rose.
In 2006, she travelled around India with world music group “Free the Love”, playing various styles of music such as Gypsy, Latin, Reggae, Israeli, Irish and Scottish. In India she was introduced to Sanskrit singing and chanting, which she has worked with more deeply since.
Inspired by Peruvian Amazonian shamanic healing ceremonies, from early 2007 she began to compose songs and play guitar. Since then she has been playing and singing her own songs at healing ceremonies, gigs and festivals including Small World, Sunrise Celebration, Glastonbury Festival and Buddhafield, Funky Raw festival and Out of the Ordinary festival. She has also performed at various London venues including the Synergy Centre, SE1 club in London Bridge and inSpiral Lounge, Camden. In October/November 2007 she travelled to Peru and Bolivia to undergo shamanic training and was inspired by Peruvian shamanic music. In January/February 2008 she recorded an album of original songs, 'Madre Medicina'. She now runs a weekly acoustic night at the inSpiral Lounge Camden, and current projects include composing and performing music for a short film and forming a bhajan band.
She is training as a sound healer with the College of Sound Healing and regularly organises sound healing circles and workshops around London. She is the founder of the Sacred Sites Healing Music Group which organises sound healing circles at sacred sites around London and the UK.
Her music has many influences including her Classical background, Celtic music, Indian music, Arabic music, free jazz, psychedelic trance and South American shamanic music.

I"M JUST DROPPING OFF SOME LOVE ON YOUR PAGE AND TO SAY BE WISE AND STAND STRONG, GIVE A LITTLE LOVE AS WE ALL KNOW THAT LOVE IS THE ANSWER TO ALL OUR QUESTIONS, LOVE IS THE WAY AND THE ONLY TRUE WAY.
There are "shaman" of the west & of our time (thankfully), those with insight who interpret & attract others. Eckhart Tolle, David Icke, David Wilcock (Edgar Cayce), Bill Hicks, Terence McKenna, John Lennon or whoever you tune into. Bill Hicks (by the way) slotted one of his most profound observations into a joke & "hit the nail right on the head" with style that sticks in the mind, when he said "matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves". THE master of "summing up" the obvious. He's obviously right that "the mind is very powerful". People live in the mind all their lives (with a little help from their enemies). It's a very cruel form of reality, or perhaps "nightmare". "Living the dream" is much quoted by those who don't know its meaning. Listen to the shaman, when he relates (I say). Simon :) You have more power than you know as yet.
Hello Harmony. Here is the latest news on the pineal gland. Read to you by Simon :) Research done 2000 years ago & still valid today, though not widely broadcast, tells us that the gland is 'in effect' our gateway between life & death. Its job during life is to act as our body clock & guidance system. It controls sleep, stress, calm, dreams, passions, sex drive etc with melatonin & also gives us our sense of direction & purpose using the earths geomagnetic field. Therefore; what you REALLY want is what you get (way outside of ego want ofcourse) coz it's our purpose anyway. If the gland were to be fully activated during life we would die. If it is partially activated during life, it gives us direct guidance, purpose, good health & understanding of ourselves, which is natural. Nature designed the gland VERY well & despite its seemingly inactive state in most preoccupied people, it will partially activate in them too. I love your music :)x
""THIS IS A TOAST......TO US....FOR THE MEN WHO HAVE US, THE LOSERS WHO HAD US, AND THE LUCKY BOYS WHO WILL MEET US! SEND THIS ONLY TO PRETTY LADIES INCLUDING THE ONE WHO SENT IT TO YOU. You have been hit. You have been considered one of the 15 prettiest girls on my friends list. Once you have been hit, you have to hit 15 pretty girls. If you get hit again you know you are really pretty. If you break the chain, you'll have ugliness for 10 years. So hit 15 pretty girls on your friends list and let them know they are pretty..!""""
