How it Started vs. How it's Going

In 2017, shortly after I moved from DC to Miami, I had a powerful awakening & transformation. I was doing a lot of inner work after a bad breakup, going to meditations, sound healings, ceremonies, etc. I decided to dive in & peel back all of the layers of myself. I uncovered some childhood traumas & a lot of limiting beliefs that I started healing & breaking through. “I’m not creative” was one of them!

“𝐈’𝐦 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞,” I thought. This is what I told myself my whole life, holding myself back. Holding myself small. Ever since I overheard a teacher say it to my Mom when I was a little girl in school. “She’s not creative,” she said, “She’s more analytical…”

So my whole life, I was singing other people’s songs, because I thought I couldn’t create my own. Until my spiritual awakening & transformation in 2017, when this exact memory surfaced in a meditation & I realized that 𝐈 𝐚𝐦 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞! We are all creative & we are here on this planet to create!!! From that moment on, my whole life changed! I started creating my own melodies, singing my own songs & even designing my own jewelry, calling my brand "Moon Bird."

The first video is from my childhood in Russia, singing the first song that I ever wrote, about my Mother. She came to America to make a better life for us & left me with my Grandparents for about 2 years while she got situated in NYC. You can see the pain in my eyes—How much I missed her & longed for her. I was singing about how beautiful she is & how much I love her.

The second video is from our KarmaVioletta performance at the Underground Violet Rave at Art Basel last week! It’s a song that I wrote for Karma, my fiance & my greatest love. It’s unreleased, for now ;)
