Ellyana's Experience

I’ve applied my skills in music, vocal performance, and sound healing by creating spaces where people can experience emotional healing and self-discovery through sound. As a singer-songwriter and sound healer, I’ve performed across the U.S. and Costa Rica, blending alternative R&B with healing frequencies to craft unique sonic experiences that soothe and uplift. Through my initiative, SVDGVRL SOURCE, I facilitate sound baths, workshops, and wellness events, using instruments like the steel tongue drum, crystal triangle, and Tibetan sound bowls to create immersive healing sessions. I’ve also applied my songwriting and production skills by recording original compositions, expanding into background music for film and TV, and collaborating with other artists and creatives to build a portfolio that bridges music, storytelling, and wellness. My background in lyrical composition and vocal performance has allowed me to create music that not only resonates emotionally but also serves as a form of catharsis for both myself and my audience. Now, I’m focused on growing my presence in the music industry, applying these skills to break into sync licensing, songwriting, and eventually joining the Recording Academy (Grammys).
