DETAILED BIO
Her father, a movie buff with a passion and gift for astrology, predicted his baby girl would possess a flare for the stage, he gave her the name of Phoenix, for the mythical bird that rose from ashes and symbolic of the Scorpio energy of transformation, death and rebirth.
As a child, Theda lived in the seaside town of White Rock, BC, and at 10 years of age moved with her artist mother and brother to Echo Bay, a small, island community in the Broughton Archipelago on the West Coast of British Columbia.
Living on a float house with no electricity and boat transport only, gave her a very close experience with nature, playing outdoors and spending time on the water with orca and humpback whales, dolphins, seals and eagles. Without the typical urban distractions she was able to attune to the rhythms of coastal life, witnessing the cycles of big tides with the full moons and the yearly return of the salmon to the rivers. This experience imbued her with a recognition of the innate cyclical and spiritual intelligence spiralling through this planet and all of life. It has inspired her spontaneous singing style, an expression of the creative life force.
As a young adult Theda was called to facilitate healing and began exploring modalities including Aromatherapy, Reiki, Massage, Huna, Yoga, Solution Focused Counselling and Coaching, Hypnotherapy, as well as a variety of personal development. She worked as a wellness consultant in vitamin stores and in Vancouver Spa's practicing holistic massage. Eventually she discovered that her voice and lifelong dream of singing was one of her most powerful healing gifts. As well as writing songs she began to sing intuitively, channeling from the heart, creating songs on the spot and performing music spontaneously, creating songs with lyrics on her guitar and harp and also sounding intuitively with Crystal Singing Bowls, and Frame Drumming. She is passionate about living a natural holisitc life and creating music from a place of sacred, playful, creative, spontaneous, self- expression, reverance and devotion.
Theda performs at music festivals, conferences, weddings, and a variety of special events. Such have included the Ottawa Folk Festival and Ottawa Sound Healing Conference, Duncan Showroom, 39 Days of July Festival, Centres for Spiritual Living. She has sung at events with authors and speakers such as Deepak Chopra, Dr. Joe Dispenza, Dr. Christiane Northrup, Oriah Mountain Dreamer and Dr. Caroline Myss. She has also sung and played with sound healing Jeremy Sills from Ottawa and Kirtan artists Shimshai from California, Wade Imre Morrisette, and at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre with Nutone Artist Will Blunderfield.
Theda’s musical studies include classical voice Diploma from Vancouver Community College, songwriting and performance workshops with recording artist Julie Blue, Pat Pattison from the Berklee College of Music and she has trained in Soundwork with Gary Diggins in Toronto.
Her song “Light in you” off her album “Legacy” is featured as the credit soundtrack of the acclaimed documentary film “Take Back Your Power, 2013 and was also a top 10 regional finalist in CBC Radio’s 2014 Searchlight Contest.
Of Theda’s four musical releases, her newest, Legacy, is the first of written compositions. Previous albums, feature creatively improvised, flowing songs and have found worldwide listenership. Her album of ambient electronica, Suspended, showcases luscious vocals and dreamlike lyrics. Spiritually-inspired Remergence is a hauntingly meditative, healing journey. Crystal Calm, a relaxation meditation CD, offers tranquil crystal singing-bowl sounds with breathy and ethereal vocals.
