DIVINE SELF marks my return to music after five years of silence.
Created in collaboration with Japanese handpan artist Kenji Azuma, the song was born from a simple yet powerful realization: the words we repeat become the reality we inhabit. I began to see language not only as a way of expressing ourselves, but as a way of shaping our inner world.
Divine Self is therefore written as a mantra - a sequence of words and sounds intended to be felt as much as heard. It is an invocation to remember the self that exists beneath fear, limitation and conditioning. To speak ourselves into becoming.
The song carries the atmosphere of an underwater world: deep, fluid and otherworldly, as if mermaids were singing alongside whales in the depths of the ocean. Kenji Azuma's handpan becomes part of this submerged landscape, blending with electronic textures, vocals and layers of sound to create a space between music and meditation.
With my background in music engineering, I have always been drawn to creating not only songs, but moods, environments and entire universes. Divine Self is an invitation to enter one of my inner worlds.
