Unleash Your Creativity

This is using the power of music, singing, and acting to release emotions and change moods! Or cope with whatever they are going through whether its pain or anxiety or stress!

Researched and proven techniques from ancient approaches and modern technology will be taught through using the human voice, musical instruments and via acting with singing.

Sounds and songs are mostly mix of Bengali Indian songs but as music is a strong connecting force that has no language its vibes are understood by people of all backgrounds. We want to make those connections with people and bring them together to heal and to develop skills artistically and otherwise.

Balance freedom, self-confidence, and inspiration, unleashing the creative self.
