“Music to me is my life and has saved and liberated me. When everything was taken from me, music was all that was left.”
– Dizzi Geetha
Music has saved me more than once. Without it I don’t know what would’ve happened. It is my voice.
Because of my ‘adoption’ I had lost everything and everyone and I was uprooted and forced to land in a place and life far from where I was born. I lived the unknown: from people to places. All of it was new, unsettling and unfamiliar. From my adoptive family home, I was put in numerous boarding schools and I had to face life by myself.
Being by myself made me afraid to talk or even use my voice. Music provided healing and helped me with strengthening my voice; making it louder and more powerful. It healed me.
Through my music I communicate with myself and the world around me. It has become a way of me to reach, heal and change those who come in contact with it.
