Shining On A lifetime of experience, years of, writing and self-exploration are represented by the modern songs on the ‘Shining On’ CD. Each number represents a special place in my sojourn to become a true artist. This project has given back my self-worth; the sense that I can be loved; and that I can love myself. Most of all it has given concrete expression to my desire to express and share the Love through my music. Amidst the bellows of doom summoned forth by self-proclaimed soothsayers of 2012; the New-Age fluff puffs who mis-use superficial knowledge of the occult to vaingloriously feed self-serving agendas, one simple Truth manages to remain unsullied - That we are Beings of Love. I am sure that my music in its humble sincerity can tap into the ever expanding thirst for inspirational heart-felt expression that can trigger the personal growth sought by so many in this day and age. To finish, allow me to defer to the words of Paul Coelho in his beautiful parable ‘The Alchemist; ‘When you are on your true Path, the entire universe conspires to help you succeed’ I most sincerely thank-you stopping by my page – In Love and Light - Nicolas Hakim
