After hearing multi-talented musician Paul Horn play flute in the Taj Mahal, Bodhi Starwater knew, at 15, that the silver flute would be his lifelong companion. Over the years he has added many other instruments to his orchestra, including exotic flutes from around the world, conch shell, charango, 12-string guitar, Tibetan bowls, feathers, harmonica, gong, drums, and rattles.
Bodhi’s been working with sound meditation, sound healing, and sacred sound journeys for over 40 years. He's studied with Tito La Rosa, Paul Horn, Allaudin Mathieu, and many other artists around the globe. His music is used in yoga studios, health spas, and health practitioners’ offices. His music has had millions of plays on Pandora, Spotify, Apple Music, and other streaming sites.
Bodhi, who has a deep love for the natural world, worked many years as a wilderness and river guide. Playing his flute in the forest, inspired by the sounds of nature, he developed his own, unique style of improvisation within the healing music modalities. He’s been a featured artist at many festivals and conferences around the world, including the International Conference on Shamanism.
He has 18 original albums in his portfolio, and is the founder of the touring and recording ensembles Sonic Transfusion... Crystal Wind... and Rhythm Matrix. He’s had two #1 flute albums on the Zone Music Reporter International New Age Music Chart, including Deep Dream in 2020, and Trans Ukraine in 2006. His latest book is titled 5 Elements of Sound Healing.
In 2021, Bohdi created the Soundscape Oasis, a sound-healing temple sanctuary in Mt. Shasta, California. He offers group and private sound-healing journeys for concerts, festivals, yoga classes, meditation groups, retreats, and conferences.
