Vanessa Forbes

Vanessa Forbes is a singer-songwriter and kirtan artist based in Bermagui, Australia. Her music is described on her site as music that speaks to the soul, an invocation to something higher than ourselves and a prayer of gratitude that we are created from the highest form of love.

After many requests from audiences, she recorded her debut CD, "Love Letters From The Universe". She wrote its lyrics to call in the power of the creator to help her step into the highest life she could live. Her music has travelled with yoga schools in the USA and Australia, and with 5 Rhythms and Soul Motion dance companies on their tours.

She is an experienced kirtan artist who has co-led weekly kirtan circles in Sydney since 2011. She has performed at Bhakti Festival USA behind Felicity Tomasko's yoga classes and has supported kirtan artists Dave Stringer and Sri Prahlad. Other stages include ABC Radio's The Happiness Show, Mind Body Spirit Festival and Woodford Folk Festival.

Guided by a deep trust in the healing power of sound, Vanessa also creates sound healing music for yoga, meditation and relaxation. She offers sound journeys and live sound baths along Australia's east coast, and holds sound journeys with her partner Steve Mazabow, with didgeridoo, vocals, Mayan temple flute, guitar and percussion.
