Peia

Peia is an American singer-songwriter and preservationist of sacred song. Her music, rich with emotive power and a deep connection to the earth and its ancestral roots, reaches into the corners of the human experience often left unexplored by contemporary music. Her voice, often described as resonant and ethereal, has the capacity to convey the depths of spiritual longing and the heights of joyful celebration. Peia's artistic journey has taken her around the globe, where she has gathered songs and stories that she masterfully retells in her recordings and performances.

Her catalog of releases, including "To All Early-Waking Grievers," "Alive," "The end was the beginning," "Mori Shej," and "Beauty Thunders" showcase her unique talent for reviving and sharing traditional folk songs from diverse cultures. "Four Great Winds," a particularly beloved piece, resonates with the spiritual essence of Native American wisdom. Peia's live performances are known not only for their musicality but also for their capacity to evoke a sense of communion and reverence for the sacredness of life, as evidenced by the piece "O'er the Land O'er the Sea (Live)." With each performance and release, Peia continues to embody her role as a musical emissary, connecting audiences with the age-old tradition of song as a means of cultural preservation, personal transformation, and connection to the earth.
