#111 Ria Marie, singer
Ria Marie\u2019s mother was a singer and voice teacher, and Ria used to listen outside the lesson room at her house. \u201cI was just captivated by singing,\u201d she says. She has always loved powerhouse singers who had soul, like Ella Fitzgerald, Whitney Houston, and Christine Aguilera. Ria says music can teach you so many things. \u201cMusic puts you in the present moment,\u201d she says. She also has learned through music not to compare herself to others.
Ria says that music and Source came together for her and Source has really helped her singing. She says it\u2019s important to surrender to Source when writing or singing; \u201csometimes you just have to let it go, \u2026 the beauty of it is in the imperfections and not being perfect and just letting it flow.\u201d She also says, \u201cMusic teaches you how to be vulnerable with people and yourself and forgive yourself and forgive others.\u201d
Also, Ria says, \u201cYou have to let that ego go in music; \u2026 you can\u2019t have the ego and be vulnerable at the same time.\u201d She also says singing and breathing go hand in hand, just like meditation and breathing. Vibrations of sound can help change attitude and she knows there is more to learn about how frequency and vibration impact our emotions.
