The only thing we can change is ourselves. Yet this can change the world. Sky has played piano since the ripe age of 3, and guitar not long thereafter. He was born into a family that studied spiritually under Sri Swami Satchidananda, and this early influence has led Sky to a lifelong pursuit of spiritual knowledge. In college at UC Berkeley, Sky switched his focus from studying music to physics, all in deference to that same fundamental motivation: find deeper meaning in the world. These three threads converge in his current work on the science of synchronicity. Living synchronicity everyday is Sky's spiritual practice. Sky's writing on the physics has been published in two publications and presented at other professional conferences. And Sky's music has been recognized and appreciated in the New Thought community and beyond. Sky is a winner of West Coast Songwriter's Song of the Year 2008 (Tied Up Tied Down), three-time winner of "Best Performance” and two-times for "Best Song” (Space for Uncertainty, Tied-up Tied-down). "Live in Love" (2010) and "We Are the Ones (We've Been Waiting For)" (2008) received awards in the Indie International Song Contest. In 2008, synchronicity led Sky to an opportunity as the music director for Global Heart Center for Spiritual Living. Sky's work with Rev. Mary Murray Shelton, Rev Robin Gail, and Rev. Gloria Diamond Conley over the next two years was formative for his style in the New Thought congregation. He has been dedicated to the greater New Thought community since ever since that fateful meeting, writing a full album of music that will be released in January 2011. If there is a single message to Sky's approach to life, it is the art of living in the present, allowing solutions to all of our personal as well as worldwide challenges to flow effortlessly, and thus building relationships that are filled with joy. |
Sky's past musical performances include:
Sky has offered workshops and presented his work at the following conferences and gatherings:
Sound Connections Magazine, March 2011 Science of Mind Magazine, June 2009, "When Fate Follows Free Will" New Thought Magazine, Fall 2009, "How I Use Physics to Pray" Technical Requirements: Sky uses piano/keyboard for most of his accompaniment and performance. He often shares music on guitar as well. Standard technical requirements include a sound system (including a monitor) for vocals and for amplification of guitar and keyboard. If your center has an onsite keyboard, Sky can use that instead of his own keyboard, provided a backup band is available. Sky is flexible to the needs of the center. |
