All kinds of amazing music and musicians have influenced me over the years.
Musical adventures have taken me around the world and my hope is that my music will take the listener on a journey. I hope to transmit through my music some of the feelings, places, sounds and flavours of the different cultures and lifesyles I've experienced from my roots in Saskatchewan, to many enchanting countries in Europe & the exotic sounds of the Orient.
I think I was born to be a musician. Being the youngest of 5 children who all played musical instruments and having parents that instilled a love of music in me it seemed the path was paved for me to become a musician. I began playing the piano as soon as I could reach it. By the time I started learning the harp I had already won numerous competitions in my home town of Saskatoon, Canada, which helped to fuel my passion for music. I continued my studies in harp performance at the University of Victoria, Yale University and in Europe at the National Conservatory of Nice with my mentor: Elisabeth Fontan-Binoche.
Spending nearly 10 years living and working in France and Italy greatly influenced my life.
I love flowers & butterflies.

Happy Thanksgiving to my dear friend. May you and your loved ones be showered with His blessings.
And a youth said, "Speak to us of Friendship." Your friend is your needs answered. He is your field which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving. And he is your board and your fireside. For you come to him with your hunger, and you seek him for peace. When your friend speaks his mind you fear not the "nay" in your own mind, nor do you withhold the "ay." And when he is silent your heart ceases not to listen to his heart; For without words, in friendship, all thoughts, all desires, all expectations are born and shared, with joy that is unacclaimed. When you part from your friend, you grieve not; For that which you love most in him may be clearer in his absence, as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain. And let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit. For love that seeks aught but the disclosure of its own mystery is not love but a net cast forth: and only the unprofitable is caught. And let your best be for your friend. If he must know the ebb of your tide, let him know its flood also. For what is your friend that you should seek him with hours to kill? Seek him always with hours to live. For it is his to fill your need, but not your emptiness. And in the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed. - Khalil Gibran
Flower is a word that Nature does not say. But she write in her diary many times. A silent man writes of flowers in the thoughts of his hidden intimacy. Only de wind knows the secrets of a burgeoning world. Only the wind is losing blossoms on a journey of silence. Only the wind knows the seeds that one day will break the fear, of each man So he may find his own flower. ~Julie Sopetrán ~ Dear Julia wishing you a bleseed Weekend . and Safe coming Home Back trip ♥With Love Alleb♥
