  Imagika has loved music & dance since she can remember, beginning her relationship with music as a dance performer & performance ritual producer in 1999.  Prompted by the desire to create a new way to dance & relate to music that was different than what was being played at the time, she created something that didn’t exist - remixing & producing music for her performances to further customize the experience.  Her reality expanded to producing & performing with groups such as Lucent Dossier, Dream Circus, Ayaserpent, Auracle, & Urban Gypsy.   She co-produced the score for "Isis Vision" with the Human Experience for a half hour multi-media performance at Burning Man at the Temple.  She also co-produced "Maat Magic" for Lucent Dossier Experience's performance at Coachella's main stage, & produced "Breathe your Dreams to Life" which was performed by Lucent Dossier for the Dali Lama's 80th birthday celebration with an audience of 10,000 people. 



She delighted downtown LA as resident DJ at the famed Edison for the Lucent Dossier's nights, that drew celebrities like Johnny Depp, & Scarlett Johansson & attracted underground artists alike, creating & curating exotic & surreal musical soundtracks for 2 years every week.  With Lucent Dossier, she also brought her passion to venues ranging from the Liberty Theatre in NYC's Times Square, to a Venetian Palace on the Grand Canal in Italy for Elon Musk for his 40th birthday, & tech luminaries like Sundar Pichai.  



Her performance background is reflected in her musical style, & is heard in her ability to create compelling, unique, atmospheric soundscapes for performances, environments,  & special events.  



She released her classic "Cosmic Sutras" album through Merkaba Music, bringing forth tracks that are both earthy & ethereal, filled with primal beats & bass, mystical mantras, & atmospheric layers sparking cosmic remembrance. 



Over the years, she has also explored other genres with her own unique style, such as bellydance beats, latin grooves, & Goddess pop in her singles. She continues to dive deep, exploring new sounds in her current works in progress & live improvisations.

As I can't mix properly for contemporary "speaker systems" (i.e. laptops/pads/phones,etc.),
you'll have to use something "real" (e.g. good headphones) to be able to enjoy my stuff on here. Without that, you might miss half of it....  

Whatever I play, I have to learn from scratch - every time. After finishing a piece, I forget.

Any commercial or editorial use of my work anywhere needs my hand written permission - at the very least.
