Influences
I don't know if they influenced me in any way musically, but I big up :
Bjork, The Cure, Mari Boine, David Bowie, Mick Jagger, Madonna, Johnny Cash, Bob Marley, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Geldof, Pink Floyd, Zakir Hussain, and last but not least, King Michael Jackson...
I was born into a noble family in Yarlung Valley, Tibet, in 1973. To find my freedom, I escaped at the age of 16 to Dharamsala, where HH Dalai Lama (www.dalailama.com) resides. After a while I made my way to England via France and started my music career. If you are interested in a more detailed description of events, please read my autobiography "Child of Tibet" published by Piatkus Books or the German Version "Wolkenkind" published by Droemer/Knaur. The latter actually charted in the Spiegel Bestseller List at Number 19. My book has been translated into numerous other languages since.
Some highlights of my musical career have included concerts like the The Prince of Wales' "Evening for Tibet" at the Royal Opera House in London raising some 30.000 Pounds for Charity, performing at the Usher Hall in Edinburgh before HH Dalai Lama came on stage and the red carpet affair "Cinema for Peace" in Berlin in aid of UNICEF for two years in a row, in 2006 and 2007 when I jammed with Richard Gere on Piano...he's quite good, you know...
Now I am busy with touring really all through the world...Europe...Australia...
I have been blessed to record some new music with some quite wonderful and legendary individuals... But enough of the past, I'm sure it all just started and there'll be much more interesting things to come in the mysterious dimension we call the future...at the moment I am also involved and ask for your help in a Charity Project to build a modern hospital in collaboration with the wonderful Roter Lotus, e.V. (Red Lotus International) and Gyuto Monastery in Dharamsala, more on that on www.soname.com/charities.html
Dear Soname. Thanks for being a space friend. I read your book and i admire the strength you have. Wish i had some of your strength in me. You're one of the people i admire and one of my heroes. Wish you well Gabrielle
Dear friends, As long as this comment might be (sorry...) but this is very important. There will be a parole hearing for Leonard on July 28, 2009. This is a critical time and I please all of my friends to take care and act or send the informations to someone who could help. This comes from the bottom of my heart and I send out all my love to you. Leonard has big health problems as you could read in the bulletins the last days and does not get the medical help he needs in prison. Help to bring him home in freedom before his 65th birthday this year on September 12. Thank you so much for doing what everyone of you is able or willing to contribute! Love & Peace, Kirsten
~There is a Heartbeat~Louder than Thunder~Revolution is in the Air~
Please write the United States Parole Commission like it’s written in the bulletins and blogs or with your own words:
