CARMELLA sang as a soloist in the Latin Church choir from the age of 7. Surrounded by sacred music from an early age – her Grandfather who chanted in Aramaic, taught her beautiful chants as a young child. These early years soaking up sacred music planted the seed that would continue to grow throughout her life. Having an intensive career as a singer on the pop charts in the early nineties, Carmella opened for artists as diverse as the likes of Eartha Kitt, Daryl Braithwaite and Jenny Morris.

‘A soaring celebration of contemporary world Music’ – Who Weekly

DISSATISFIED with the machinations of the pop music industry, Carmella digressed to the study of classical singing, and with a promising career as a classical singer, she fell deeply in love with plainsong, renaissance, European art song and Church Music, it was here that she truly discovered the purity of music and this study continued for 10 years. All the while, her deep and committed spiritual practice of meditation and yoga maintained her soul AND her singing voice . . . after completing her studies Carmella dived into world music from Celtic to African and Kowali and from there her yoga and music worlds merged, this time through the practise of bhakti, call and response chanting in Sanskrit. Initiated into the Vaishnava line, this practise is the divine medicine , or the Yuga Dharma for our age. Carmella has for the past 20 years travelled the world , particularly visiting China's bustling yoga scene for the past decade, singing and facilitating singing groups, sound meditation workshops, kirtans and sacred music choirs. Passionate about the use of group singing as a healing force, as a vehicle for transformation, and as a link to the Divine. She works to combine yogic philosophy, creation spirituality wisdom, movement and meditation with liberating vocal techniques, to assist people of all walks of life to access their true powerful, beautiful and Divine voice.

This being human
is a guest house
Every morning a new arrival
A joy, a depression, a meanness
Some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows, who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture.
Still treat each guest honourably
He may be clearing you out for some new delight
The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing
And invite them in
Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent
As a guide from beyond’
The Guest House

It would appear we are going through a collective dark night of the soul.

Festival days such as Deepavali are written into ancient sacred Vedic texts as old as time

They remind us of hope, of victory -light over the darkness, goodness beyond evil, of mighty spiritual strength, the kind we all have within

Even though we bear witness to terrible times we are always reminded spiritual strength will prevail.

It can never die , it is born time and time again unfolding into life and carried by
Supreme Divinity
Moving through life

Perfect knowledge
Eternal by Nature
Full of joy

Dive in to the light within
Happy Diwali

We are a glorious work in progress!

The Voice Never Lies

We are our own greatest con artists.

We sit in situations that we know aren't aligned with our truth, and yet we make excuses:

1. He won't commit but I love him (even though I want kids and time is ticking)

2. I want to do something different with my life, to help others, but my businesses need me.

3. Taking the family to live in Italy for a year is a lifelong dream but things are really busy now so we'll go when things slow down.

In this week's The Firey Petra Williams Show episode with Grammy Award Nominated, Carmella Baynie, we talk about realigning with your authentic voice to live your purpose and a life that makes you feel alive.
