Maryzelle Ungo's first love was the drums and from then on, she has been in numerous bands as a drummer. She has toured throughout the coast as a Garage rock, psychedelic, and ambient musician. Receiving her BA in Music, she studied percussion at Mills college. While studying music in college, she also received her 200 HR training as a yoga teacher, and has worked hands on as the college's yoga assistant. From there, she truly bloomed into her love of healing through music and movement. Along with banging the drums and evolving spiritually, she tapped into her divine goddess mission as a sound therapist. Over the past couple years, she has been hosting and creating soundbaths with crystal quartz bowls, Tibetan bowls, Tuning Forks, electric guitar, African drums, gongs, electronics, bells, whistles, divinity, and Love.

Maisha Lani is a vocalist, guitarist and composer influenced by nature, storytelling, consciousness and the idea that music lives within us, ready to surface at our soonest beckoning.
