#111 Ria Marie, singer - a podcast by Planetary Gigs Society

Ria Marie’s mother was a singer and voice teacher, and Ria used to listen outside the lesson room at her house. “I was just captivated by singing,” 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. “Music puts you in the present moment,” 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’s important to surrender to Source when writing or singing; “sometimes you just have to let it go, … the beauty of it is in the imperfections and not being perfect and just letting it flow.” She also says, “Music teaches you how to be vulnerable with people and yourself and forgive yourself and forgive others.”

Also, Ria says, “You have to let that ego go in music; … you can’t have the ego and be vulnerable at the same time.” 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.
