Vision:

As an Artist, my vision is to connect with the hearts of my listeners. I believe that if my songs are pure and heart-felt then they will be a healing influence in peoples lives. As I grow, I take the journey though empowering all aspects of self.  The feminine and divine, the Intuitive all-knowing. The masculine, action and focus. And an ever-growing sense of compassion for all of life. And the greatest journey of all, complete self love. A self love, that recognises our connections to all of life, is love for all of life.

To honour all my relations by sharing the gifts I am given and live with gratitude in abundance.

My vision for the world is that we may create a harmonious, conscious, sustainable and creative world. Where each being is valued and honoured, each working for the good of the whole. Where the abundance of the whole is supportive to all. Where our own personal development is an achievement, where emotional maturity prevails and communication is honest and transparent. Where we recognise our part in the greater Earth family.
A humanity who believes in its own future.
​
I will keep believing. Always.
Sunny Ray
