The Most important 10 Moments of my Year 2014

1.pink lion –
This is a wonderful memory that I got from January last year. I attented to the Midem music festival in Cannes where about 10.000 people from all around the world came to talk and do business in regards with music.
It’s definitely a great place for artists to do some networking and also meeting publishers and record labels. On the last day of my visit I decided to do a good meditation and visualisation before starting my long schedule day of meetings. It made me feel strong, focused and very relaxed.
I texted my husband, who is a Behaviour Strategist in Harley Street, and wrote – I feel like a pink lion. As a response, my husband sent me this wonderful photo that became my screen saver, reminding me that sensation of feeling strong but soft at the same time – Velvet glove with Iron fist .

2. On the same day I went to the Carlton hotel in Cannes, where all the exclusive people from the music industry have their meetings. With the attitude of a Pink Lion I was looking around and also very aware of what was going on. Suddenly I saw a man in his late sixties who was talking with the Warner music representative in Israel. I was drawn to talk to him even though I felt a bit shy. I looked at my pink lion photo and went straight and started to speak to him. I was thrilled to realise that my intuition was so strong as the man was the legendary -Seymour Stein, who was the founder of Sire Records which signed pioneer artists such as Talking Heads, The Pretenders , Madonna, Depeche Mode and many more . I told him about my song ‘Free Will’ and very soon I will actually send him the single!

3. Deciding to do the kickstarter campaign was a moment that I will never forget. To do such a campaign I had to work out of my comfort zone, as we all know that asking for money is not the easiest thing.

4. Recording string section for my single.
It was the first time that I had 14 players playing my songs. I absolutely loved it and it felt very emotional. The cinematic strings section were recorded by Haydn Bendall who’s previous credit include Kate Bush, Katie Melua and Dido. The beautiful strings arrangement was done by Phil Curran who worked with me on my previous BBC 2 playlisted single “Beauty of the Duty”.

5. Celebrating my 50th birthday at the Old Government House Hotel with my husband and receiving beautiful messages from all my fans and friends. I feel that Life begins at 50th!

6. Singing ‘Free Will’ at the Houses of Commons.

7. Achieving my kickstarter Goal !

8. Supporting Mkdons and watching the game when they won 4-0 to Manchester United !

9. Recording the piano version with special gusets – the Ely Cathedral Girls Choir conducted by Sarah E. A. MacDonald which created a pure and ethereal sound and the Latin version in English and Spanish ‘Tengo Libertad’ featuring Eric Fernandez
who is know for his collaboration with
the Gypsy Kings.

10. Meeting and hearing the inspiring speech of HE Mr Mazen Kemal Homoud, Ambassador of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan
at a fundraising event for empower women in the Middle East .

It’s time to say goodbye to – 72 Names !

It’s time to say goodbye to – 72 Names !

Since 2010 my life was all around my first album 72 Names .

Although I had before an album with collection of songs based on the most know classical melodies – Timeless Melodies .

72 Names  album was my first album as an artist with my own melodies and words .

As an independent artist I feel so proud of what I manage to achieve and how much I learn from it.

  It’s only when you jumped to a deep water that you learn how to swim .

I learn so much about promotion , radio pluggers, public relation , production , social media ,radio,  playlist and more.

I had few critics that wrote about the album that it had allot of potential  and I am a good singer but the main criticism was that it was collection of songs with different  directions .

I completely agree with that claim as it was my intention to put collection of my best songs together and I can’t help it that I am a lady with many hats .

Looking back, yes it might be easier to market it with only one style but as I wrote in my song – Calling You

” I never look back , I never regret ”  I learn through  the different styles what I really love and who are my real audience.

And  its time to move on to something new , so Watch out for my new project !

All We Need is Love – Olympics Reflections

All We Need is Love –  Olympics Reflections 

I hope you all enjoyed watching the Olympics, for me the athletics, the swimming and the diving were the main highlights. It brought back to me great memories of when I was the fastest girl in school in which the climax of my running was when I achieved 8.7 in the 60 metres while I was competing with the fastest boy in school and we got the same result. I wish I had a camera at the time to film the expression of my excitement, I took the laces off my trainers and tore them apart.

I never managed to achieve that speed again as we moved to Mexico city, which is a very high place and it was difficult for me to run, but the fire stayed inside me for all those years and slowly turned into singing and writing songs. The Olympic gold medals

Winners showed me one single thing;  how much training is the first basic thing  to succeed but  support  and love are the essential ingredient  to achieve something in life.

We could see on TV how  the strong connection between  Andy Murray and Michael Phelps mothers  and  the stories of all the other champions with their supportive families .

The GB team succeed beyond our expectations  and they all say of how  much the support and love of the  audience affected them.

Last night their was a programme of the best moments in football and there was an unbelievable moment when Paolo Di Canio from West Ham at the past got grumpy with the team and sat down on the field refusing to play .

Suddenly all the crowd started to sing his name and it was like super man suddenly putting his armour on and he just woke up and played like he never played before and scored immediate goals. It was clear as crystal how the crowd effected him.

For me as an independent artist you are the support  & off course my sweet husband – every comment, every like , spreading the word, download my music and especially your personal emails give me the drive to keep doing what I love so much .

Thank You !

Miracle 2 – Calling You: Moses Grave

When we were driving quite deep into the desert, we suddenly saw a building that looked like a mosque.  It happened to be ‘Nabo Mosa’ – Prophet Moses place of burial according to the Muslims.  I couldn’t believe it, I started to scream and cry in the car. Itzik the guy that took me to the desert didn’t know anything about me or the song but from all of the places in Israel he took me to the right place. ‘Calling You’ is a love song but people who look deeper into the lyrics will see that the main inspiration of the lyrics is Moses with parables taken from the Bible; ‘Will I ever see the promised land’. After walking for 40 years in the desert Moses never saw the promise land and the question is why?

When we started filming an Arab guy told us that we were not allowed to film as it’s a Holy place but I told him that my song is very spiritual and about Moses and he allowed us to continue. I felt so emotional and honoured. I went inside the place and as one of the rooms had a beautiful acoustic I started to sing the line ‘Can you hear my voice’ without the backing track, and the Angel heard me and a Muslim man came to me and shook my hand and asked if I am Jewish. He was such a kind man who deals with education and peace. A miracle into miracle, a Muslim and Jewish inside a mosque, feeling the vibrations in air, the warmth of the desert – the love – with the same roots & connection – Moses.

On the same day that I uploaded the video on YouTube, I was in a wonderful healing retreat. At lunchtime I shared with everyone the story about the miracle. One of the girls who I didn’t know was a Palestinian and her grandfather was the man that restored that building. I couldn’t believe that we were talking about the same place but I showed her video and it was the same place! Angels sometime hear us when we pray with sincerity.

72 Day (Hallelujah) Day : 70 Leonardo Da Vinci’s Mystical Side & Da Vinci Code – 72 – Interview with Silvano Vinceti

The video of the Mona Lisa came to me like a gift from heaven! I read that an art historian in Italy had found that the famous painting by Leonardo da Vinci who painted the Mona Lisa had the number 72 in the background.

From that moment and in less than a week of the discovery I found myself in Rome doing an interview on TV with Silvano Vinceti president of Italy’s National Committee for Culture.

Almost as another miracle a young Italian woman sent us her bio to work on the 72 days campaign. After a 10 minute interview I knew that I would like her to be a part of it but more than that I gave her the mission to arrange the interview with Silvano and she herself, Fabiola Miccone is the translator and the one who got me the interview.

The most important thing for me was to find that Leonardo da Vinci was very much into kabbala and I learnt about his mystical side for the first time. in the video I also include a short clip from Sonia Ducie Dip.CSN.AIN
NUMEROLOGIST about the subject.

I hope you enjoy the video.

72 Names (Hallelujah) Day 67 : Designing the 72 Names T-shirt

A short video of creating for the first time a T-shirt with something of my own. I love the fact that in the morning I decided to go and do it and by lunchtime it was ready. Still I need to put much more time into getting the right shape of T-shirt and design. Every part of it is important in the process of doing any type of design: the material, shape, colour, fonts etc. At a later stage I will have T-shirts for sale on my website but its still early days!

72 Names (Hallelujah) Day : 64 Esoteric, Ancient, Crop Circles, Dreams & 72

This is a very special video for people who are into esoteric material. An interview with Joseph Mason from the USA who became an expert about numbers and specially the number 72. It’s a Skype interview, so we can only see his image but his knowledge is amazing and it all started for him in a dream – please watch.

Below is a short part of his blog from his website:

In August 2011, I was contacted by Tally Koren about the number 72. She is doing a series of interviews on the subject. I agreed to be in one of the interviews. I explained that my method of study is based on dreams and coincidences.

After discussing the subject on the telephone, we decided that I would explain a little about the number 72 and more about the ancient numbering system, or Code, found worldwide, as well as various crop circle connections. I have created this web page in order to organize the interview material and display the graphics.

Early Number Experiences

Ancient numbers first came to my attention in 1990, when I read Inner Reaches of Outer Space, by the great mythologist, Joseph Campbell. There was a section about the ancient time cycle number, called the Kali Yuga in India, a period of 432,000 years. In the system, there were ever-revolving cycles of impersonal time, with whole universes and their populations coming into being, flowering for a season of 43200 (432000 or 4320000) years, dissolving back into the cosmic mother-sea to rest for an equal spell of years before returning, again and again.

He pointed out that the same period of years was given in the Sumero-Babylonian system, where ten kings reigned from the rise of the first city, Kish, and the great flood.

Realizing that Genesis tells of ten patriarchs from Adam’s creation to the time of the great flood, he wondered if that period of 1656 years had a relation to the Sumero-Babylonian account. He found the 19th Century work of Julius Oppert, showing that in 1656 years, there are 86400 weeks.

He realized that half of 86400 is 43200, and came to the conclusion that the 1656 years of Genesis was given as a disguise of the ancient Sumero-Babylonian system number.

Campbell also mentioned that the number nine was associated with the Goddess Mother of the World and its gods. In India the number of recited names in a litany of this goddess is 108, while 4 x 108 = 432. The numbers all reduce to nine —

4 + 3 + 2 = 9
1 + 0 + 8 = 9
1 + 6 + 5 + 6 = 18 then 1 + 8 =9

He also wrote of the Viking eddas that were found in Iceland that told the story of the Day of Ragnorook, the Doomsday of the Gods. At that time, 800 Divine Warriors will come out of each of the 540 Doors of Valhalla (800 x 540 = 432,000).

This 432/864 number type can be found in an internal clock in the body, as well as in the Cosmos. A trained athlete’s heart beats one time each second. In a 24 hour day, that is 86400 beats. The earth’s axis wobble that causes the precession of the equinoxes is given as 25920 years. Divided by the ancient number called “soss,” 60, which was used in calculations, results in 432 (25920 / 60 = 432). Also note —

2 + 5 + 9 + 2 + 0 = 18 and 1 + 8 = 9

72 Names (Hallelujah) Day 63 : Jacobs Ladder

I decided to created this video after that I read on Wikipedia that Jacobs Ladder had 72 steps. I started to enquire and contacted a few Kabbala teachers that I have studied with in the past but they could not find anything substantial that we can rely on that confirms this number. I then took the video to different areas that were influenced by the biblical story such as art and I filmed an original Chagall painting that is named Jacob Ladder and the famous painting by William Blake.

I filmed the video at Abbey Bath and counted the steps which almost equaled 72!
