LEONIE BOS

Leonie Bos is a sacred singer/songwriter from the Netherlands, alchemizing her insights of life into music, her own medicine.

Her heart opening music will bring you closer to yourself, as she shares her own inner journey through the sound of music. With her witty personality and grounded being it is easy to relate to her, as she includes all of life. The darkness and the light.

‘I don’t belief great artist have to suffer, but many are being brought to the core of the deepest misery to dig up the brightest diamonds’

In 2020 Leonie has been a great support to many with her online morning livestreams. Every single day for at least a year, she sang her songs live online, still to this day every Monday morning. A need to keep her own daily practice going and sharing her heart through music with others has resulted the new Mantra Album 'Finally here’. With collaborations such as Tijn Touber and praam.

Besides performing Leonie guides Inner Voice Workshops to teach about the great potential our voice carries. A beautiful new door has recently opened up in collaboration with Danielle Doeve, where they bring their work to the corporate scene in female LeadHERship trainings. New bridges are being build as we speak.

Leonie strongly feels the importance to bring these teaching and this music to the bigger crowd, its time to rise!

TERENCE SAMSON

Terence Samson is an amazing percussion and sound artist with many skills in various instruments. Each tone comes from a place of intuitive resonance. He will be playing instruments from all over the world such as the Nigerian Udu, South Indian Kanjira, Persian Framedrum and all kinds of other sounds and instruments.

Since 2020 Terence is part of the band and you will rarely see a concert without him. There are no words needed when it comes to creating music together

TALI GROSS

Growing up in a Jewish family of musicians, music has always been one of the ways in which Tali could express her soul. Through her violin and voice she brings an experience of sensitivity and the possibility of connection with something higher.

The music that comes from her is a form of prayer, devotion and surrender to the divine and connecting with the soul. Through a deep connection with the here and now and with her fellow musicians, she can improvise to bring out the sacred. And to bring you as listener to your inner essence.

PRAAM

praam is a Dutch composer and multi-instrumentalist based in Utrecht. Initially trained as a drummer, Praam abandons all boundaries of classical music to play based solely on feeling. This in the hope of inspiring listeners worldwide to tune in to their capacity to feel, perceive and experience (also captured in the English word 'sentience'), as opposed to being stuck in rational thoughts.

The purpose of the music is to allow listeners to escape from the frenetic everyday reality to focus on what they feel rather than what they think.

Praam's pieces are characterized by calmness and a narrative structure with open chords and notes. The (solo) piano plays a major role in this, as it is an honest and sincere instrument where the notes and the silence between the notes ensure that the emotion is translated as pure as possible.

After the release of his first three solo piano albums (sentience, perceptionism and luminance), praam broadens the instrumentation in his pieces without losing sight of the calming tone. During live performances, praam will therefore invite other musicians to play pieces from his upcoming album between two poles.
