Creative Souls are multidimensional beings with many talents. They dive deep within their core and connect with the source of their souls, to become creators of their own path.
Creative Souls bring inspiration, assisting many in their journey, lighting the way for those in need. Creative Souls heal through their dreams and art.
Many things can limit our artistic soul to expand our craft and career, such as location and money, but the main factor that blocks us is our personal opinion of ourselves and how much we believe, or not, in our talents. It is in our will to see past obstacles and do what it takes to seize the moment and make something brilliant with our gifts. Creative Soul, Jared Chan, is proof that no matter the limits set before us, we can achieve our heart’s desires and create a whole world of opportunities where our dreams can come true, one step at a time.
Jared is a singer-songwriter, bass player, and music producer from Singapore. He was born into a home of musicians, taking inspiration from his parents and his older brother who brightened his horizon as an artist, leading him to study drums, bass, and guitar.
To further his education, Jared studied Business Administration, Music Production, and Sound Engineering, where he met his friends, now business partners, and founders of GRYD.
GRYD is a Music & Sound Design Studio that offers an array of services including music production, recording music campaigns for film and TV, sound designs, sound effects, voice recordings, and ADR for film, TV, commercials, and games. They are also a Music Publisher to sync songs on TV and film, pitching on behalf of musicians for possible placements and earning royalties from those breakthroughs.
“In Singapore, the music scene is not as developed as in other countries, and indie musicians don’t get a lot of opportunities,” Jared explains. He wants to give them those opportunities, opening the doors of his growing business to help musicians reach for the stars.
Jared is inspiring his community that no matter how small it is where you come from, you can make it far. He is working eagerly to accomplish his goals and set the stage to fulfill his aspirations. Jared is a giver at heart, full of wisdom and a great deal of experience, willing to share it with others and offer guidance to help us live up to our purpose.
“It is never about the destination. It’s all about the journey and not every rejection is a bad thing. It is a path to something better.” This is Jared’s heartfelt message to us all. He explains that “once you have reached the desired destination, most likely, you will embark on another journey and start again with a new goal to reach another destination,” and he is right. We seldom worry so much about reaching a finish line that we become wrecks to get there, losing sight of the present circumstances that are the seeds of our future harvest.
Jared is an admirable and bright artist, going above and beyond to reach his destination while caving a path full of meaningful opportunities for the creative souls’ community, reminding us through his talents and art, that we can experience a limitless creative life, persevering with a cheerful soul.
We both wanted to do something representing the Moon, being that both of our names mean moon goddess. We also wanted to find an image that showcased the moon and two souls/lovers across the sea/distance.Kuu Sound was absolutely wonderful to collaborate with. She is so kind and truly so very talented. Her music is so ethereal and chill and her vocals, magical. She pieced together my poem and transformed it into a beautiful song.Lynn
Luminous wonder
Adrift upon the ebony sea
Your light shines the way
To wonder and reverie
Sweet dreams beneath the moon
As you wish upon the night
For tomorrow comes to soon
In the dawns morning light
Weary is the soul seeking the light
For the dreamer still dreams
In spite of the night
The nights are never lonely
Beneath the shimmering moon
For there is where I lie awake
Lost in thoughts of you
Old is the moon
Amid the midnight sky
In your love
I still fall
Night after night
Words unspoken
Wished upon the stars
Moon still heard
Her yearnings from the heart
Weary is the soul
Seeking the light
For the dreamer
Still dreams
In spite of the night
Weary is the soul
Seeking the light
For the dreamer
Still dreams
In spite of the night
The dreamer still dreams
In spite of the night
The dreamer still dreams
In spite of the night
ABOUT
Kai, known as Kuu Sound, is a singer-songwriter and Music Producer, from Oregon, currently in Transylvania.
Music vibrates beyond time and space, flowing through our bodies, raising our vibrations, and many times, helping us change the outlook of our lives. Creative Soul, Ronald Irizarry, is here to remind us that we are made of the tunes that create the sound of the Universe, we just need to remember and become it.
Ron is a Singer-songwriter, Music Producer, Writer, and Guitarist, born of Filipino and Puerto Rican parents. He was brought up in a house of musicians; his mom, a singer from the Philippines who used to tour with her band and was hired by the U.S. military to entertain the troops during the Vietnam War. There, she met his father, a soldier and also a musician. These two soulmates toured together around different places, inspiring Ron to jump into the arms of music and follow the tune of his soul.
In elementary school, Ron played the violin as a way to express himself through music, and eventually gravitated towards the guitar. He knew then, that he had found his purpose in life and got himself educated to pursue his music career.
Ron has toured with different artists, including NSYNC, and some of his songs have been placed in several projects, including the motion picture, Henry Poole is Here. He has been contracted to perform covers at Universal Studios, Sea World, and Disney Springs, in Orlando, Florida, where he currently resides.
In 2022, Ron founded, RonMusic, a YouTube channel to assist beginner and up-and-coming musicians in their journey, providing resources to help them grow and expand their careers. The content he shares is simple and clear, guiding musicians in areas such as performance tips – getting them prepared for what they need to pay attention to when performing in public.

Ron is using his 30-plus years of experience in the field of music, to help artists connect with their hearts through their performances. He also shares his personal experiences in deeper areas, such as having panic attacks, and how using our breath as a tool can help us feel grounded and merge with the melodies of our Creative Souls, regaining faith in ourselves.
Ron explains that “it is a tough world out there and many people don’t appreciate or respect musicians. Not everyone sees your worth.” Through his YouTube channel and social media, Ron is enlightening musicians, and all artists, to avoid being involved with those who are undermining them and their work.
Ron is inspiring us to strengthen our confidence, to take deep breaths and feel our roots, and to remember that we are all one symphony with different rhythms, beating to our unique tempos, but in the end, we are all made of music.
I really liked Lynn’s voice as it sounds unique & mysterious or has a mystical essence to it. For the Better Days track, she kind of built her poem around the vocals that were already there. I actually put a lot of time into the music side of that track. It just works the way the sounds play on it. Skip,Bass Ronin
I very much enjoyed working with Skip. His music brings a soothing vibe to the soul. I was honored to add my words and voice to his music track, Better Days i- a remembrance of a time period when the world felt more right and how we all go through trying times, where we’re kind of in an observational state of mind, just watching the world passing by. Lynn Long
Dreaming of better days
Outside my windowsill
I watch the world pass by
Learning to embrace change
Time disappears, present entwines past
The fork in the road, all too clear
Yet I linger on the path
Watching the world passing by
Just within my grasp
And I'm tired, caught up in the throes
Lost in the why
Dreaming of better days
Outside my windowsill
And I don't think they're coming
Watching the world passing by
The Present Lost is time missed
For the moment ceases to exist
I Dream of Better Days
And I, don't see them coming
But, I see them going... Now
All These years we've been
Sitting around and we've been
Watching the world just
Passing you by
And I'm tired, caught up in the throes
Lost in the why
Dreaming of better days
Outside my windowsill
And I don't think they're coming
Watching the world passing by
The Present Lost is time missed
For the moment ceases to exist
ABOUT
Skip, known as Bass Ronin. Music Producer from Maui, Hawaii.
“I started out on this idea in April 2021 and it immediately had me in a rhythmic trance; I envisioned people dancing around a big bonfire: the sounds remind me of the group Deelite, Bjork, Little Dragon, and stereo lab which is right up my musical alley and I also wanted to stretch my musical mind and have a different sound as a producer; I knew it would need vocals at some point and later all pieces started to align to make it happen.I later found out about Kailani via Bassronin and approached her about collaborating on this and tagged her in the post and she was on board with it. Kuu spent some time with it and what she added was magic.” Mrgroovology
“It’s more like capturing an energy for me – I imagine a scene around a fire with rhythmic music and you are dancing with someone and you just feel really connected with both them and yourself.” Kuu Sound
ABOUT
Mrgroovology is a Bassist, Songwriter, Arranger, and producer.
Technology is believed to be a bad invention, bringing destruction and division into our lives. There is no denying that many people put things into motion with negative intentions, yet, our lives on this Earth are mixed with technological advances that, whether we like it or not, have allowed us to reinvent the wheel of how we conduct life, and of how art can be expressed. The fault should not lie entirely on the tool, but on the one that holds the tool. Thankfully, Creative Soul, Ellen Vaman, is combining her impeccable talents with the newest technology of our time to take art to another level of excellence.
Ellen Vaman is a great example of how we can use technology to make something positive and inspiring. She is a new-age artist who creates vivid spiritual and motivational visuals such as Pleiadian, Astro Angel, and Magdalene, among so many other mesmerizing ones.
As a visual artist, Ellen shares transcendental videos that tap deep within our emotional and ethereal realities, inviting us to release toxic bondages and welcome healing into our bodies, minds, and souls. She’s a Plotagraph Ambassador, sweeping off our feet with her Transcendental Morph Art. She uses all sorts of software and apps to create her striking NFTs, adding extra juices with her affinity for AI.
Her aquarian soul has been fascinated with the creative arts since she was 5. Ellen became a singer, dancer, pianist, and photographer; she even had her own music band and was involved in theater. She was born to Persian and Russian parents and has traveled the world and lived on different continents, currently residing in Australia.
Growing up in an environment of keen relationships with her mother, father, and siblings, they would chat about their nighttime dreams over breakfast, discuss the messages revealed in tea leaves or coffee, and be enchanted by her father’s reciting of Rumi’s poems. Ellen’s mother played a beautiful influence in the growth of her instinctive connection with Gaia, which we can appreciate with profundity in her art.
“Everything is based on some truth. We are all connected,” Ellen whispers gazing at the horizon where the sky meets the sea. She connects our souls through the gift of technology, reminding us that the enemy is not our creations but the way we use them.
Certainly, technology has its downsides, such as hackers trying daily to impersonate someone’s account on social media platforms, as has happened to Ellen more than we can count with two hands. However, in the midst of the madness that can transpire with technology, what’s most important is our personal integrity and what we do with it.
Ellen is grateful to her fans/followers, for giving her a safe space to keep sharing her musings.
“Be inclusive,” it’s Ellen’s message to us all. “If everyone thought of inclusiveness no one would do anything wrong to anyone, instead, they would be doing and creating things for the greater good of all.”
Ellen is making a difference in this world by applying her gypsy wisdom to everything she does, instilling in us a sense of belonging, finding in her art parts of us that, perhaps, we thought were lost.
Ellen Vaman has a big heart and supports many artists from all over the world. For this particular video, Ellen used a song by Kuu Sound, one of the Creative Souls that’s part of this platform. Thank you, Ellen :))
The art of poetry is the rhythm of words dancing to the emotions etched in the depths of the writer’s soul. Whatever the muse is, a poet can elevate their meaning with verses that express joy, sorrow, rage, courage, and so many other emotions. Creative Soul, Luke Levi, reveals his deep connection with the fauna and the flora around him, inspiring him to write some of the most incomparable poems anyone can read.
Luke Levi is a writer, poet, photographer, and author, based in Austin, Texas. He became interested in poetry during high school and gravitated toward novels and short fantasy stories. He became a full-time writer and has been published in several magazines.
He can be considered one of the top writers and storytellers in the field of haiku poetry, as well as a top-notch writer and storyteller. He’s one of those writers who makes you fall in love with poetry, imbuing our souls with his tender imagination. Luke’s latest book, “So Fragile Are The Beautiful Things” is a compilation of his poetry, including some haiku, available in print and as an e-book.
Luke’s creative soul flows to the beat of Mother Nature. He writes about his experiences while being held in the arms of the wind or witnessing a vulture’s mighty flight. His poetry describes the delicacy of a flower, the grandiosity of a tree, and the curiosity of a bird – he has a way of encapsulating those special moments, lost in nature, and making us feel as if we’re there, hearing the buzz of a bee or feeling the sun setting in our hearts.
Universal and spiritual concepts are a big part of Luke’s poetry, integrating ideas of life and death, sadness and hope. Luke explains that “people are part of nature,” and his graceful poetry helps us experience the essence of Gaia, with its moments of beauty, pain, transformation, and re-birth.
Luke combines his passion for photography and poetry to share eye-catching posts on his social media platforms. He is a kind and humble soul, and reading his work fills the spirit with instant wonder.
“Be who you are. Learn who you are,” this is Luke’s message to the world. It is a reminder that we should give ourselves the chance to get to know all parts of ourselves, understand what we want in this life, and work diligently to achieve our goals. Remembering that we are part of something magnificent – we are nature and nature is us.
There is a new generation of Creative Souls that is longing for oneness, making us aware that we don’t need to be categorized, divided, or pin-pointed down. And every so often an artist comes along to be the face and the voice of that union. Sunny Strange is here to show us through her captivating art forms how we can be one community with one heartbeat, not worrying about our identity but embracing our authenticity.
Sunny Strange is a photographer, model, and writer – a multifaceted Creative Soul from South Florida. Sunny is a nonbinary Creative Soul, who identifies with all genders. For purposes of this article, I will refer to Sunny Strange as she/her, though they/she/he is here to represent everyone.
Sunny was a poet before she even began to write, reciting poems to her mom, who would help her write down her precious lines and stories. She attended Alexander W. Dreyfoos School of the Arts in West Palm Beach, Florida, focusing her creative path on writing and communication arts. Being in a creative environment helped her hone her skills and expand as an artist, presenting great opportunities for growth.
“Being a Creative Soul has encouraged me to open up to every art form, and not limit myself to any specific medium or concept. I try to have a growth mindset and expand my talents across a full spectrum of ideas and emotions and turn it into art. I think anything and everything can be art in some way.”
Photography has been one of Sunny’s favorite creative outlets, specializing in portraits. She enjoys captivating people in their humanity – showing in raw form the emotional state they are invoking and capturing the unique personal essence of the subject. Going hand in hand with her modeling career, she unfolded her creative talents simultaneously. Modeling feels natural for her, channeling a vibe, alchemizing the emotions she brings to life through her beauty, getting lost in her aquamarine eyes and mesmerizing essence.
Her current project, Laundry Day, is her debut as a director. It is a film she wrote in collaboration with Corey Wayne (Producer, Writer, Director) and Joshua Lee Bashknight (Producer, Editor) about the world of socks on laundry day and their perception of their world as a way to compare our global circumstances. She has shared many other creative projects on her charming Instagram profile, and we can stay up to date by following her @sunny.strange.
Sunny also had the privilege of collaborating with Anouk Wipprecht, a fashion tech designer from The Netherlands now based out of Miami. Sunny modeled two of Anuok’s cutting-edge fashion dresses, the “EEG incorporated Pangolin Dress,” featured on the League of Extraordinary Makers for Channel News Asia, and the “Drink Bot Dress,” featured at the Science Center’s 60th Anniversary Makers Gala. Working with Anouk really showed Sunny that there is a whole world of modeling and fashion that isn’t just the typical beauty standard– there is a place in fashion for people who are innovating and breaking the mold, doing stuff that’s high concept, highly creative, and even a little weird.
“I am All and I am One.”
To Sunny, we are more than just the physical body. We are energy, we are spirit, we are vibrations. We are the divine feminine and the divine masculine all at the same time in one body.
“We are expected to fit a particular role in society but this can set us up for failure and it blurs the identity of our souls with what is acceptable vs. what is not, and if it is not true to who we really are.” Sunny explains. “We can lose ourselves in the expectations of society and feel burdened by other people’s thoughts.”
Sunny believes that as conditioned as we are to follow titles and rules, we can also break those rules and change those titles to create more union and harmony amongst us. “We can either be followers of rules that are designed to constrain, fill hearts with guilt and shame, torture the mind and soul, or we can simply break free from it all.” She draws inspiration from the Drag community because they represent the open expression of who we truly are without the need to fit into a particular role.
“But art is a way to break free from the guilt, shame, and constraints that we are expected to follow. Art is a way to blur the lines of what is or isn’t accepted. Art is creation and art can create change.”
Part of the reason why life can get so complex is that we can find it hard to understand each other. Not that we shouldn’t have boundaries with certain people, but to have the capacity to accept everyone for who they are. Except for the evil few, there’s a deep meaning in accepting each other, no matter what our personal preferences are, at any level.
“Try opening up and expressing yourself in a unique way. Be authentic and a beacon of light and share it with others. Be yourself, don’t be afraid to do so, and share your creativity with the world. Whatever it means for you, find out what it is and explore it and do it, embrace it.” This is Sunny’s heartfelt message to the world, and it motivates us to care less about titles and identities, and care more about appreciating who we are.
Even if we don’t all agree on someone’s personal preferences to be identified as this or that, we are all made of the same essence, Divine love. Sunny Strange is a fascinating artist, inspiring us to awaken our inner divinity and free ourselves from imposed rules that go against the calling of our Creative Souls: to be free, to simply be, let be, and create.
“Even if it’s shitty art, who cares, create. Art is art, and it is the expression of our creative souls, and it cannot be judged as good or as bad because it is not supposed to be good or bad. It is just supposed to exist, to be created by us, to be shared.” — Sunny Strange
For this collaboration, Sunny assisted Noemi Capote in the videography of her dance project, Animal Within. Sunny also helped with makeup and finding the perfect location. She’s a loving, charismatic, and beautiful person, inside and out.
We are all searching to find healing and balance in our lives. Going from place to place with a big smile on our faces, carefree, cultivating loving relationships, and not feeling any negative emotions in our hearts. Ah, the dream! There’s no doubt that we can achieve this state of positivity, but we can’t deny the negative parts of our lives that drive us to face the dark side of the soul – when we must die before being born again into the light.
Creative Soul, Dino De Maria, is a Rainbow Warrior and Music Sourcerer. He is a sound and visual artist, a visionary, and a student of life, founder of Rainbow Raven Records and creator of “The Vibrary”, a royalty-free stock music bundle for content creators. He shares his shamanic music, created for ceremonials and meditations, sparking our paths with the melodies he brings to life and sets on fire with the Drums, producing music that invites us to dance and feel joy. Dino has released a few music albums, including “Ghost” ( 2006) and “11:11” (2011). You can also check out his ‘ Rainbow Raven apparel, available for purchase on his website.
In 2011, Dino left his hometown of Las Vegas, Nevada, leaving behind family and friends to pursue his music career in Atlanta GA. Signed to a management company for artist development, Dino spent time Shadowing Myshon Ratliff of, what was then Dynasty Records. He recalls spending time in the Studio with Myshon, August Alsina, and other Atlanta artists while working on a project for the Victims of the Hurricane that hit Haiti. The experience developed him as an artist and a human, only not how he would have imagined. In 2012 he requested a release from his contract in Atlanta and returned to Vegas after a spiritual awakening.
In 2017, he would leave once again to Create loving boundaries to grow and find himself. His journey led him to Santa Rosa, California, where he lived in his car for three (3) years, detaching from all the relationships that made him face the darkest experiences of his life. He then moved to Washington to balance out his life’s affairs. A humbling time for letting go of what no longer served him, and revealing his Music to be his life’s one constant and steady medicine.
Dino documented what it was like to live on the road for 3 years and the spiritual transformation that led him to discover and remember his roots, purpose, and identity. He developed a spiritual journey with the Great Spirit, where he found alignment within his heart and this physical world. Dino will be sharing all about his journey soon.
Life is beyond the physical, and no, we are not alone. We may give any name to the other dimension, the spiritual realm, the celestials, the ancient ones, whatever we wish to call the ethereal reality of life, and we may even doubt it or deny it. Still, it is a reality that exists, whether we see it or not. Having connected with celestials, aliens as we come to call them, Dino understands the importance of guiding others to be assertive about their relationship with other dimensions. After all, they assist us with healing and help us expand our visions. Dino will be sharing all about his encounters in a docu-series to help us appreciate all life forms.
Every single one of Dino’s artistic projects is infused with Divine energy, and we can feel it in our pours, filling us with positive and loving light. Accompanied by his Raven Animal Spirit, Dino’s relationship with nature is profound and epic. One can call him a Creative Shaman. He is currently working on a novel about his experiences with the Raven.
Dino is here to speak to all Rainbow Warriors, who have emerged from conflict but are unified by love to return to nature. For Dino, love is the way. It is not about sunshine and rainbows. It’s about the fundamental state of being – a process that can be painful and, at the same time, magnificent, teaching us that it takes time to heal, but most importantly, it takes heartfelt intentions and action. To be patient with oneself, and to appreciate everyone and everything we share this world with. Love is about valuing one another. It’s about recognizing in each other our light and our darkness to be able to co-exist.
Dino allows his art to tell us the story of transformation from the darkest depths of our personal legends to the brightest beams of light we carry within. We can become victims or heroes/heroines of our own story, and it all depends on what kind of legacy we want to leave behind.
His vision helps us to recognize our spiritual nature and learn to embrace it. Dino De Maria is here to light the way with the charm of his Creative Soul so that we can let our Rainbow colors infuse the Earth with love.
“To have a sense of purpose, does the world have to witness it? Does it have to be big? – Start with what is in front of you. We are doing everything one relationship at a time. Discern your boundaries in your relationships. Dive in and support others instead of creating separation. Do your part.” — Dino De Maria
Dino De Maria offers a wide variety of royalty-free music for content creators. For this collaboration, Noemi Capote channeled her animal within to one of Dino’s smashing songs, Devil Inside.
Life consists of energy frequencies that have their own behavior and can run from low to high levels, affecting us in good or bad ways. There are certain practices that can make us become aware of the energies around us and support us in engaging with higher energetical currents. One valuable tool that can assist with our personal ascension is our breath, and Creative Soul Ash Neumesiter is here to expand our experience in this life through the art of breathing.
Ash Neumeister is the founder of Vibrational Medicine with Ash, offering vibrational medicine to help us bring awareness to our breath – a natural wellness practice that can affect our consciousness to shift our vibrational frequency.
Ash offers metamorphic sessions pulling from her knowledge of breathwork, sound healing, transformational life coaching, aromatherapy, dance, reiki, shamanism, and meditation. She can easily be considered the Goddess of High Vibration, for energy surges through her to bring us the necessary knowledge, teaching us how to take control of our own energy field through breathwork.
Using Vibrational Medicine, Ash motivates high-performing women to reframe their consciousness and create a balanced state of being. Her breathwork techniques raise the energy levels in the body and the environment, bringing a profound physical and spiritual elevation.
Through workshops or one-on-ones with Ash, the benefits include regulation of blood pressure, stress relief, relaxation of mind and body, and the release of toxins from the body. She teaches that we all have the ability to heal and we may use our breath as a tool to help us get there. Being able to embrace this ability is a courageous act, and Ash is here to remind us that we are our own medicine.
Ash is also a Music Supervisor, with over 20 years of experience in the music and television industry. She is the founder of Sync Secrets, a safe and transformational space for musicians to learn about music licensing and how to make money with their songs. She not only offers educational workshops that dive in-depth into the sync business, including how to register with a Performing Rights Organization and how to keep an organized database of the songs, but she also cares deeply for the well-being of the musicians she works with. Ashely extends her breathwork sessions to artists, guiding them to tap into their emotions, tuning into the melody of their Creative Souls, and releasing the burdens with each exhale.
Ash inspires us to love ourselves – to do what we can to achieve this. Her tools and services can assist us in reaching the level of self-care and self-love that we need in order to ascend our energy, as challenging as it may be.
The way Ash uses music, as a vocalist and sound healer, helps to cast away lower energies and assure an immediate cleansing not only within our bodies but also our environment. Ash incarnates her powers to attune with the sound of the Universe and bring forth light beams through her music for healing, love, and transformation. The sound of her voice is enchanting, in a way that it wraps you around in a smooth cloth where your body gets elevated to a higher dimension – a space where we can encounter calmness and clarity.
Ash is a musical instrument that helps ease thoughts and bring awareness to our bodies and the present moment. She’s here to support us and to teach us how to own our gifts – our talents – and how to use our breath to balance our energies.
