We exist for two primary reasons: to know God and to be known by Him! This is a ministry for the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ! We are not religious people! We are born again and Spirit-filled followers of Jesus Christ, the Eternal Son of God who created us all, and are in a growing relationship with Him! Eternal life begins the moment you believe in Him and literally receive Him by faith, not once you physically die and go to heaven! Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He walked this earth for thirty three years and led a perfect sinless life and performed many miracles, signs, and wonders. He then was crucified bearing our sins on the cross, was buried in a tomb, and then physically/literally rose from the dead three days later for our justification! He then was seen and witnessed by over 500 people that He had risen from the dead. Then, 40 days later He ascended to heaven to sit at the right hand of our Heavenly Father (God). He lives forever and therefore is our salvation, sanctification, and redemption! He will be returning one day soon to separate the righteous from the wicked! Until then, we who have believed in Him have His Holy Spirit indwelling in us as witnesses of His love for all of humanity! You can be saved simply by turning from your sins and believing in Him to save you!

Thanks to all for your kind words. ♥ Here you will find mostly original compositions and a lot of guitar playing. Some AI assisted tracks with original lyrics will appear this year. It's the next thing it seems. Cheers!

I'm a solo acoustic guitarist, performing mainly in Kyoto, Japan. When I was a junior high school student, I met the Beatles' music and woke up to music. Attracted by Edward Van Halen, Paul Gilbert and Yngwie J. Malmsteen, I began to play the electric guitar. In my high school days, I practiced the electric guitar, while learning the piano at the piano class and the classical guitar by myself. In the university, I belonged to  the music club and copied a lot of music in bands. For example, System Of a Down、Slipknot、Maximum the Hormone、the Beatles and so on. Then I joined a hardcore band, playing original songs and being active mainly in Kyoto. After the band was broken up, I found the movies of Andy Mckee on the You tube which impressed me so much. So I decided to play solo acoustic guitar. At the beginning, I practiced the tunes of Andy Mckee and Antoine Dufour, while composing original tunes. In the autumn of 2010, I began to play only my songs on the stage. In July 2012, I began to sell my 1st original CD 'Daydream deliver'. In August, I participated in the Canadian Guitar Festival in Kingston as a competitor and was reported in the local newspaper.

My playing style is the so-called 'Fingerpicking-style'. But I do not only pick the strings by fingers, but also mix the special techniques, just like body-hitting, tapping and so on. I often play with the irregular tunings for many tunes.

The list of musicians who influenced me greatly :  
Andy Mckee, Antoine Dufour, Erik Mongrain, Michael Hedges, Masa Sumide, the Beatles, Oasis, Mr. Big, System Of a Down, Maximum the Hormone, Arch Enemy, Pantera, the Dillinger Escape Plan, Rei Harakami, Nujabes, Yasutaka Nakata, Jo Hisaishi etc.

I am just a girl who loves music and loves to create and to sing and play and worship my Lord.  I believe every gift I have been given is meant to be used to bring Glory to God and not myself.  I have been through a lot in my life and the one thing that has remained and been constant is God, He has never let me go or given up on me and He has been my source of hope, peace, joy and strength and so when I sit down to sing and play what usually comes pouring out of my soul is praise to Him because that is what my soul longs to do...worship Him!  Praise is a powerful thing and it keeps me focused on the Lord and not myself and all the things that can so easily drag me down if I let them.  Music is my outlet and it is my hope that these songs will not only touch my spirit but yours as well :) These are not professional recordings, they are simply recorded by me using garage band.  I hope to some day be able to afford higher quality recording but for now this will do :) These are all songs from my "Soaking Sessions" album, if you would like a copy please message me :) blessings
