About
I am a young multi instrumentalist based in the UK. I perform gigs, festivals, and busk on the streets regularly, and because of my keen interests in world music and spirituality, I am starting to explore sound healing ceremonies. I love meeting new people through music, wether it's from busking, gigs, or any other means. People inspire me to become the best version of myself I can be.
With my music I hope to provide people with some sort of healing, teaching, or metanoia. The way I see it, is that the human race as a whole has been going through an adolescence the last couple hundred years. We are products of our conditioning, and that can be either the best thing, OR it could be a catastrophic force. And it seems for centuries we've been taught from a young age to live in fear of others, to look for happiness or answers externally, to criticise, judge, and to separate ourselves from eachother with imaginary boundaries.
I strongly believe a shift in our consciousness has arrived. It's time we dissolve these boundaries, and remember that we are all brothers and sisters, remember our divinity, look after ourselves and eachother and our mother, Planet Earth. We all live here with eachother in the smallest wrinkle in time, we have to ask ourselves, what will we do with our time here on this beautiful planet? I for one, want to love, be grateful, heal, teach, learn, laugh and accept. By being the change I want to see in the world, I hope I can play my part in leaving this world a little bit lovelier than it was before I got here.

I am an international multi-instrumentalist based in the UK with a passion for world music and the power of sound. Music is my way to provide people with healing, an invitation to slow down and to reconnect with themselves. I have recently started exploring sound healing ceremonies to learn how to aid and support those on a metanoia ("spiritual awakening"). But I also play big and small stages across Europe and do some busking on the streets.
I believe music has the power to communicate to us on a deep, emotional and instinctual level, way beyond the boundaries of semantics, and to reconnect us to one another and to ourselves.
WHAT IS PATREON?
Patreon is a new awesome platform that allows you to engage with and directly support artists you like on an ongoing monthly basis by pledging as little as $1 (any amount is a blessing and infinitely appreciated). Patreon gives those who wish to support my music the opportunity to do so directly, which means that every time I pay to record a new song or travel to play a show it will be thanks to you and your generosity! The amount you donate is entirely up to you, how long you donate for is up to you, and you can always change your donation, or even cancel it! No catch, no hidden ifs or buts.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
#You have complete control over your pledge
#You get charged at the beginning of each month
#You can cancel your pledge or change your pledge amount at any time, for any reason (no questions asked and no catch, I promise)!
#every pledge gets you one or more awesome rewards (plus my eternal gratitude!)
WHY I USE PATREON...
I strongly believe a shift in our consciousness has arrived. It's time we remember that we are all brothers and sisters, remember our divinity, look after ourselves, each other and our Mother, Planet Earth. We all live here with each other in the smallest wrinkle in time, we have to ask ourselves, what will we do with our time here on our beautiful planet? I, for one, want to love, be grateful, heal, teach, forgive, learn, laugh and accept. By being the change I want to see in the world, I hope I can play my part in leaving this world a little bit kinder, wiser and more loving than it was before I got here.
HOW WILL I USE YOUR SUPPORT?
With your support, I will be able to fund the continuity of my musical life. Funds will go towards recording, getting to and from gigs, equipment (new strings, leads etc) and very importantly, it will help me to support myself and allow me to have more time to write and focus on music, and ideally, it can help me to travel to play music in various places, hopefully meeting you and playing for you. I aim to tour with a collective of musicians called The Lyrical Nomads (please check out their beautiful music) and spread our message. I feature on some of their albums, and will join them onstage for gigs and tours.
I also have plans to write and self publish a book. It will be all about philosophy, spirituality, and psychology. Very much similar to the stuff you may have seen me post on Instagram @sa.ta.na.ma This project may take a few months to put together, and probably won't be ready until Spring 2016.
In the meantime, please check out some demos of my songs at: kimvaldes.bandcamp.com or come see a live The Lyrical Nomads show!
THANK YOU for your time, kindness and support
I Love you
