Music has always been a source of positivity in my life. It has helped me through the darkest times in my life and I see it as one of the purest forms of unity we have to help us share our human experience with others. I came up with this music project Pangaea as a way of illustrating the unifying power of sound and music. When we share our happiest moments with each other through music, we don’t even need to understand the words to connect. We can trust the vibe, the body language and our other senses to reassure us we are in a good place with good people.
