SING THE LIGHT
Overture
I’ve been singing professionally for almost my entire life. I started singing for professional choirs at age six and have always had a love affair with vocal music! I hold a Bachelors and Masters degree in Vocal Performance, and I’ve sung all over the world. My proudest vocal achievement to date was representing my Mexican-American heritage singing in Disney/Pixar’s Golden Globe and Academy Award-winning film COCO.
When I received my universal calling to Reiki, I decided to marry my two destinies together, and #SingTheLight was born!
Now I channel Reiki during every performance, not only giving my audience the transcendental gift of music, but also actively healing them on a quantum level at the same time.
