DJ Drez is in demand as a producer, musical director and sound ambassador. A master of his craft in the studio and on stage, Drez cuts and composes profoundly original tracks that facilitate body movement practice of all forms— be it dance, yoga asana or after-hours intimate/ecstatic. Drez transforms the vibe of any scene his sound is set upon. Rooted in underground L.A. hiphop, Dr. EZ applies precise turn-table skills to a cutting edge vision for truly universal music, intelligently integrating elements of hiphop, world music, soul, funk, jazz, and reggae into his trademark sound and production.Drez’s peacefully determined demeanor makes him a highly sought-after contributor to a variety of dynamic projects. In the midst of a non-stop, world-wide tour schedule, Drez has prepared another solo effort (Alpine Swift, available June 7 via Nectar Drop Music) while simultaneously producing a Sānskrit mantra record with his wife, vocalist Marti Nikko, and a straight-up hiphop album with longtime collaborator, Zaire Black, both expected to be ready for release in 2016.Drez has too deep a resume to mention in its entirety here, suffice it to say he has worked with a who’s who of top artists (Blackstar, KRS 1, Black Eyed Peas, Macy Gray, Eminem, Project Blowed) and organizations (Adidas, X Games, ABC, Okay Player) while maintaining an extensive worldwide touring schedule, variously involving artists like Moby, Ziggy Marley, Common, Femi Kuti, De La Soul, Capleton, Nas, Lee Scratch Perry.https://djdrez.bandcamp.com/https://www.instagram.com/djdrez/https://www.facebook.com/therealdjdrez

The daughter of a jazz pianist, Marti Nikko spent her childhood in nightclubs, absorbing the art and wisdom of many great musicians. Enthralled by what she heard, she began to sing and perform her own music, infusing her innate grasp of jazz and soul into a warm, natural voice.Marti met DJ Drez shortly after high school, when they began performing and recording together. Over two decades, their collaboration has become an intimate musical language that effortlessly translates into and between many styles of music, including hip hop, reggae, kirtan, jazz and soul. Listen to any of DJ Drez’s albums and you’ll hear Marti Nikko’s unmistakably rich and nuanced voice. Her full-length albums, Dreaming In Sanskrit on Black Swan Sounds, Explorers of Infinity and Dreaming in Sanskrit Verse Two on Nectar Drop, combines her instinctive musicality with deeply devoted mantra practice.In addition to Marti’s talents as a singer, songwriter and performer, she teaches yoga and pilates around the world and in the Bay Area where she and Drez live and love their 18-year-old son and 5-year-old baby girl.

My name is Amanda Nascimento and I am a Massage Therapist and Energy Worker in San Francisco, Bay Area.My journey started in 2015 when I reached a breaking point in my life. Craniosacral and Reiki have been the tools to support the community and myself in their/my own healing journey. I use meditation, compassionate touch and psychic skills to support each individual in their process. Some of the benefits of Energy work is stress and anxiety reduction, pain management, a boost in health and immunity, and a general sense of well-being to say the least.

Cindy Ng: Dream In Crystals was born out of darkness during the pandemic. Feeling a sense of loss and sadness, I was searching for some purpose. Suddenly drawn to crystals, they soothed my soul and gave me a sense of calmness and inner peace. I felt an instant connection through them and began a journey of healing I didn't know I needed. It's been healing to help others do the same whether it's to help them calm their souls, achieve higher intuition, or help manifest goals.

His background includes being the Director of the Yoga Society of San Francisco, living in a Zen Monastery and a Degree in Psychology. His approach uses the Tarot cards, the person’s question and his intuitive sense of the person in combination to come up with revelatory experience and insight which can be life altering for the person receiving the reading.
