ALBUM DESCRIPTION:
Reflecting the multicultural background of Demian Elaine' Yumei, DreamSinger music carries the influence of Europe, the mystery of Asia, Native American connection to the earth and a touch of Celtic magic. The lyrics are both intimate and universal, coming from Demian's personal experience overcoming childhood abuse and her human rights activism.
“For the Sake of Love” is more than a collection of pretty songs. It’s a story of the healing journey, each song representing a trait characteristic to overcoming, such as faith, love, forgiveness and more. These songs are a powerful statement for life, a celebration of healing.
"Future Song", a song about Choice, is a haunting melody that carries the promise of new life.
"Keeping the Dream Alive", originally written for the students of Tiananmen Square, offers the power of conviction for anyone who has ever witnessed or experienced a tragedy.
"Free Tibet", a lilting song of compassion, features the gift of prayer by His Holiness the Dalai Lama for His people, chanted by Dolman Tempe.
These are just a few of the gems found on this CD.
If you like Enya or Loreena McKennet, you will like the musical style of DreamSinger, the feelings it invokes, the magical places it will take you, and the deep places it will touch you within your spirit.
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Demian has been a vocal soloist since age twelve. Her voice has been compared to flute, harp and angels. "Future Song", Demian's first song, was the result of an intense two-year journey of healing from childhood abuse; a life-time journey of reclaiming her true voice.
It set the tone and created a vision of purpose for all her subsequent songs, which took an additional fifteen years to live and to write. Demian is the lyricist and composer of melodies for DreamSinger. She took an active role in crafting, mixing and producing the individual songs for "For the Sake of Love", and co-produced the CD with Stacey.
Stacey Young has been writing songs and performing in various bands since his early teens. He is a gifted multi-instrumentalist, playing keyboards, guitar, bass and drums, to name a few. Stacey played every type of instrument, except for oboe and flute on "For the Sake of Love".
With over 25 years experience, Stacey composes, arranges, records and produces in his one-man digital and analog recording studio, Axis Studios, in Wrightsville PA. "For the Sake of Love" was entirely recorded, mixed, produced and mastered in Stacey's studio.
Demian is a speaker and published author dedicated to speaking out against abuse in its many forms and advocating healing and compassionate empowerment for not only individuals but our communities, both local and global.
DreamSinger is committed to helping others find their true voice, to singing the healing journey and celebrating the human spirit. More than just good music, DreamSinger is an experience of the Heart and Spirit.
