Her music is ideal for meditation and reaching higher levels of consciousness. She is a Tahoe-Truckee local.

They are from the Spiritual Center for Positive Living in Cameron Park near Sacramento. Together they are Orenda Blu.

Emily is currently working on her second release for Paradise Music which will feature chanting from Japan, New Zealand, The Cherokee and Lakota nations, and other world cultures.
