MOVING CROWDS WITH UPLIFTING SOUNDS

You may have seen her perform on BBC Television or at The Royal Shakespeare Company, but did you know TALIA has been capturing the hearts of her audience since she was seven?

Her passion for music transcends language and genres and was ignited when her father took her to an accordion shop to choose her own.

Before that, she spent much of her childhood singing with her father while he played the concertina, a Northern Portugal folk instrument. She loved singing and grew to fully understand the pure joy of giving music to others.

Growing up in London in a large traditional Portuguese family, she would often find herself the centre of attention at family gatherings—playing her eclectic repertoire. Though described by her brother as “painfully shy”, TALIA flourished in these happy moments, with aunties, uncles and cousins dancing and singing along, as she sang and performed.

Her music lit up the room. Knowing this and understanding the power of music, TALIA continues to inspire and cast a positive, delightful glow over her audiences, as she brings her passion to the world.

TALIA’s musical accomplishments are many, and at the tender age of eleven she was already performing in a production of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde with the RSC at The Barbican. At twelve years old, TALIA performed for BBC Television, and at seventeen, she performed live on The National Lottery TV Programme.

In addition, TALIA has appeared at; The Royal Academy of Arts (alongside Jamie Cullum), at various festivals in the UK (including Glastonbury), and with Charles Castronovo from The Royal Opera House. She also performed in two exciting productions at The Kings Head Theatre in London (Quasimodo and Die Fledermaus).

When you are fortunate enough to hear TALIA perform, you hear her love for music. Her words come out strong and clear, directly from her heart. Audiences fall in love with her sound and are entranced by her magical presence.

With over a million views on YouTube, international performances in eleven cities, supporting Gary Kemp from Spandau Ballet, and collaborating with artist Randolph Matthews at the infamous Ronnie Scott’s Bar in London, TALIA is living her passion.

Her repertoire covers many music genres. She sings in English with a twist of Portuguese and Spanish and is equally happy playing both at intimate events and on a grand scale.

But you won’t only find her in traditional music venues…

TALIA has enjoyed performing in Art Galleries including Rebecca Hossack’s Gallery in London, Sharon Yamamoto’s Gallery in Holland Park, and for Sara Twomey who worked for Damien Hirst.

In 2019, she performed for a school for physically challenged children in Mumbai, India alongside the famous Indian singer Shaan. TALIA was told that her music inspired the children and those that attended. Her overwhelming feeling of gratitude for this opportunity and ability to help has inspired TALIA to pursue similar musical ventures.

Still true to her Portuguese roots, TALIA has been appearing at various community festivals including those at Grantham and Somerset this year, also a special event at Chancellors Hall, University of London representing the Portuguese Culture within Portugal, Cape Verde and Brazil. She was also interviewed by the Portuguese radio station, Radio Barca 99.6 FM in February of 2019.

In addition to her musical talents, TALIA runs Busking Workshops for CEO’s with the goal to inspire leadership, team building and communication with their employees.

TALIA is multi-talented and is always looking to improve the lives of others, be it through her moving and lively traditional music, her workshops, or original songs, such as “Happy Go London.” After spending time in the studio recording her First Ever Album that was achieved through her Crowdfunding Project, she now intends to increase her original pieces as she progresses through her rich musical life.

Thank you to my family, friends and fans who have forever supported my vision. A special thanks to Chris Glynn who kindly sponsored my whole album and believed in my success since we crossed paths. His generosity has helped turn my dream into reality.

The Tree of Life and the Sounds of the Universe

The back cover design of BREAKING FREE Album has been developed in partnership with mathematical logician Chris Glynn and his theory regarding the tree of life together with M theory and their relationship to musical vibrations. In the tree of life there are eleven dimensions which is also the case in M theory (super gravity). M theory is a quantum theory of gravity. In this theory everything in existence is composed of minuscule strings and higher dimensional membranes that vibrate at different frequencies. This can be seen as an allegory for the way each sound or note in music has a different vibration field.

32 vibrations, 32 paths, 32 fields, 32 sounds.

To find out more here is Chris Glynn's further explanation about The Tree of Life and the Sounds of the Universe:

The Cabbalistic Tree of Life, M-Theory and the Music of the Universe

The so-called “Tree of Life” is a graph representing the “structure of the universe” as described in the ancient text the Sepher Yetzirah (Book of Creation). It was devised in the 13th and 14th centuries by Spanish Cabalists and drawn with ten sephiroth (usually depicted as circles) and 22 “paths” or “ways”.

The 22 paths represent the 22 characters (or sounds, vibrations) of the Hebrew alphabet and connect the sephiroth by lines drawn between them – hence 22 lines or paths. There is in addition an eleventh sephirah which is never shown but implicit in the graph. However, the Sepher Yetzirah clearly states that there are 11 sephirah and 32 paths. It seems that these cabbalists have never read or understood the sepher. The reason is that the 22 Hebrew letters consist of 10 double letters (double sounds) and 12 single letters: Thus making 32 sounds. It is the sounds or vibrations that represent the structure of the universe. All the World is sound! Consequently, if we show the 11th sephiroth explicitly (dotted circle) and make the corresponding connections we obtain the graph depicted here. It now has 32 paths or “ways”, as indeed it should. This is the correct rendition of the Tree of Life according to the Sepher Yetzirah. That may displease some cabbalists who feel that their long-held beliefs are challenged, but there is no escaping the facts.

Now we come to string theory and M-theory in modern physics (11-dimensional supergravity). The best candidate for a “theory of everything” is superstring theory and its extension: M-Theory (membrane theory). A “string” is a one-dimensional object that replaces the “point-particles” of classical physics and quantum field theory. It includes gravity and thus unifies the four fundamental “forces” of Nature. It is therefore a quantum theory of gravity. Now superstrings vibrate, just as a guitar or violin string does. But strings are one-dimensional. In M-theory, however, there are two, three and higher dimensional objects, called “membranes” – strings being just one-dimensional membranes. These also vibrate. For example, one may liken a two-dimensional membrane to the vibrating surface of a drum – a percussion instrument. All the Universe is music! Both superstring theory and M-Theory are quantum field theories.

A field is just the arena in which a given variable assumes a different (or the same) value at a different place. A simple example is temperature – the temperature is lower at the top of a mountain than it is at sea-level. M-Theory has 32 fields just as the Sepher Yetzirah has 32 paths and M-theory needs 11 dimensions in order to work, just as the Sepher Yetzirah has 11 sephiroth. However, we appear to live in only four dimensions; three of space and one of time. Where are the remaining seven dimensions? The answer is “everywhere”. They are tiny, curled-up or “compactified” dimensions and we cannot see them from our macroscopic viewpoint. Similarly, the Sepher Yetzirah tells us that seven of the sephiroth are “hidden” from us and we can only directly experience the first four which form an inverted pyramid at the base of our graph of the Tree of Life. There is also a pyramid immediately above this which shares the same base. No wonder the ancient Egyptians were obsessed with pyramids!

It is not known who wrote the Sepher Yetzirah or where it came from for it is very ancient and its origins are lost in pre-history. Certainly, the Egyptians would have been familiar with it and doubtless one of the “Princes of Egypt” – namely Moses. It is said that Noah carried it on the Ark. Perhaps we would know more if Alexander the Great had not committed the most egregious crime in history and burned the great library at Alexandria!

The joys of busking for a better world

“To be honest, this wasn’t a runaway hearts-and minds success for the passers-by, but it did offer a crucial lesson. While spotlighting how a good team can move you beyond your comfort zone, it also underscored just how difficult it can be to communicate extraordinary threats and opportunities to ordinary people in their everyday realities. But as the push-back against globalisation and new technology grows, we must get a lot better at this.”
