TheKI steps onto the world stage!




If you want something all the universe conspires in helping you achieve it.
Paula Coelho


Hi everybody!

Check out this video:



Whenever I introduce the band I'm about to tell you about, I always use this song called, "Breathe".

It was created and performed by an amazing band called simply, "TheKI", and it's always been my favorite song of theirs.





So, What is TheKI?

TheKI is an ensemble that fuses pop, jazz and electronic music with ancient wisdom and serves as one more voice in the movement to combat the abuse, in all its forms, of human rights and freedom. With jazzy harmonizations floating over ambient grooves and topped with inspirational quotes, theKI invites audiences and listeners to dance, chill, and feel inspired.

Roxie Sakura- Vocals
Sean Hill- Spoken Word
Lucas Francis- Bass and Electronic Beats
Antonio Dangond- Keyboard and Vocals
Nick Kraus- Drums and Percussion

I hate to sound like a broken record, but...

I first met the lead singer ROXIE SAKURA, because she and her best friend, the incredibly talented RACHEL LYNN SEBASTIAN, was helping to organize a team for a special event for the homeless in Los Angeles.

I had signed up as a MAYBE for that event, and about 2 weeks before the event, she added me as a friend on Facebook, and sent me a beautiful message asking me to make the cause, turn that maybe into a definite YES, and join their team. I didn't know if I could make it out there because I may have been called in to work (And in fact I WAS called in to work on that day), and I told her so, but I could and did MAKE A BLOG ABOUT IT. I had NO IDEA she was a singer until at least a month later, when she invited me to one of her shows, WHICH I BLOGGED ABOUT.

Anyway, since then, I made it out to every one of theKi's shows that I could, and I became a big fan.

And, it's my honor to announce that today, 9/15/15, they began their official album launch and global promotions campaign!

But I can't talk about their album without FIRST telling you guys about how this amazing album came about.

Or better yet, letting THEM tell you about it. So, without further ado... Check out this video:





You see family, 3 years ago, these amazing people had a dream. They had vision so strong, that they had no choice but to go after it with EVERYTHING THEY HAD, and made the video that you see above.

And after that successful Kickstarter Campaign, and a lot of support from friends and family, (And yes, I made a little blog about it too http://jkashtonsjournal.blogspot.com/2012/11/lets-help-make-dream-come-true.html), and 2 years of hard work, they created their album.



Yes. Dreams DO come true.

Now, as much as I'd like to tell you all about what an AMAZING album this is, how I love the sound, the relaxed, positive feeling I get when I listen to the songs, and how for me, their music gets to the heart of what I think music is supposed to be about... things like Inspiration, transformation, and Healing (physical, mental & spiritual). However, I'd rather just let you see for yourselves.

You can buy the album on ITunes:

Now, I got a treat for you guys. This is a show they did at WORLDFEST last year. And it was a blast!



You see family, when they perform, it is always a wonderful experience that NONE of you will want to miss.

And I will be posting about their future performances. And with this global campaign, God willing, their music, and their message of love will reach a much wider audience!
