I write contemporary Soul Music

Music is vibration, harmony, beauty; a way to express ourselves with or without words. It can help us remember our source, our wholeness, and bring us home. For CD’s Mp3’s and scores for the music, contact Marguerite Wallis.

Soothing sounds for the soul

Music has been a part of my life since I was conceived. I was born to Haydn’s creation and bathed in the music my mother loved whilst in the womb. Growing up in various African countries I was surrounded by singing as a natural extension of speaking.

I love to bring harmony, beauty and the richness of the inner life and love into music so I hope my compositions express this. All my compositions draw inspiration from Sufi retreats in Iona and Hereford with the Inayati Order, UK and my particular guide Noor Jacobs. The website is www.sufiorderuk.org. Sufis are mystics and embrace all spiritual traditions. They follow the path of the Heart; Love, Harmony, Beauty and the Unity of religious ideals.

Concerts and Events

I am a pianist, violinist and singer working mainly with the East Oxford Community Choir and 2 choirs called Sweet Edge and Anahita that sing my compositions. I have composed a canon to be used at the Westmill Woodland Burial ground www.woodlandburialwestmill.co.uk and have organised fundraising concerts for Freedom from Torture, Amnesty International, Ark-T Centre (Creative Arts project), a bust in Gordon Square, London for Noor un Nisa Inayat Khan and Kaimosi Mission Hospital, Kenya. One event titled Salaam, Stillness and Song was to remember those we have loved and lost.

As part of the Kicking the Bucket Festival in Oxford (https://kickingthebucket.co.uk) a group of us are singing songs of comfort, sadness and joy on Saturday 4th November, 7.30pm at the Friends Meeting House on St Giles. The event is called Singing our Hearts In.
I also plan to put on a concert for Earth Week in 22.4.2024 called Lamentations and Celebrations of the Earth. Watch this space…

“Such beauty in your music….I have been playing your CD and have been completely bowled over by it – it is absolutely wonderful” (C.M)

“I’ve been wanting to email for some time to say how amazing your music is!! Truly beautiful.  There is one that stays with me all the time – the 5th track about the weaving, yearning….oh how amazing. Thank you for sharing your beautiful voice with me” (K.P)

I wanted to let you know that I played Wayfarer II and III to two of my clients (in the context of shamanic healing) on Tuesday. This is magical music…the words of Hafiz are so profoundly affirming at a soul level for someone who might have experienced violation..and your inspired setting of them so much supports the meaning of the words” (C.S)
