BIO

Denean is an internationally acclaimed, award-winning transformational recording artist. She is best known for her Native American influenced albums *Fire Prayer and The Weaving which reached gold and platinum status in southeast Asia markets. Denean has also worked for Disney with musical greats Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz as well as many years on the Nashville scene in the early years of her career.

Denean’s music beckons us to strip away all pretense and follow her deep into the sacred mystery. The main focus of her work is on opening pathways to higher states of awareness through music and sound.

With a deep rich history of Native American spiritual practice, which has greatly influenced her music, Denean births and sings many songs in the Lakota language. In her recordings she intuitively works with the sounds and energies of nature and of the Divine. She then weaves all of these influences together to create a sound tapestry that nourishes the spirit and opens the heart.

About *Gaia’s Prayer, Denean’s most recent release, Dr. Beatrix Czeizel & Aniko Gresko of Stellar Nations writes: “Again a beautiful masterpiece was born from Denean’s heart and soul! Amazing beauty dreamt into sacred sounds …”

In early 2018 Denean suffered a serious fall with extensive injuries to her left leg. Recovery was a long slow process including learning to walk again. All of this surrounded the loss of her mother during this time. These events turned out to be a major spiritual turning point in which she was guided to the teachings of Indian Hindu sage, Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi.

Denean says of this experience, “Just hearing his name and seeing his image drew me to these teachings like a powerful magnet. I call it my ‘fall into grace’. The profound, but simple teachings of Sri Ramana completely transformed me. It was a complete paradigm shift. It was as though everything I thought I ever knew was dumped out on the floor before me and I came to profound silence within. As far as dealing with the world, for the most part I have abided in a state of inner quiet since this occurred and have kept to myself most of the time.

So it is difficult to come back to say this in a public setting even though, by his grace, I know I am called to it in this moment. I feel I owe that much explanation to the precious followers of my music for all these years.

It is only recently (2021) that the music has begun to stir again. As always the music comes as an expression of the spiritual experience, so we will see what comes. But know this; whatever comes is by the grace of Arunachala Ramana, the Divine Self !”

Denean’s most recent release:
* Gaia’s Prayer (2016)

Arunachala, the holy mountain, Tiruvannamalai, India

Dec 30,1879 – Apr 14, 1950) Age 70

The heart of the teachings of Ramana Maharshi is one question; “Who am I?” Viewed from the perspective of Bhagavan’s meaning of this question, none of what is said in the bio part of this page is the real truth. “Who am I?” is not intended for one to answer. It is a means of self-enquiry to any thought that arises and is the principal means to attaining real happiness and awareness of one’s true nature. Who is this “I” to whom the thought arises? Trace it back to the heart and find out. That is what Sri Bhagavan would tell you.
