Music Is A Bridge From You to You - Lyndol Descant

I just so easy to give up on yourself, to stop sharing or even listening to your own authentic voice.

I'm Lyndol Descant and as long as I can remember I was too shy to speak up for myself. I shrank away from attention like shadow from light. And worst of all – compliments.

I don't know why I was like that. Maybe it was my childhood circumstances, maybe I was born that way.

What I do know is that I would have remained that way for a lifetime had it not been for music.

Music is unlike anything else in our known world. Music is vibration. Music is Rhythm. Music is emotion. Music is communication. Music is Mathematics and mathematics is said to be the language of our universe. And when you study music enough, you realize music is magic. And that in our modern world we grossly underestimate it's power.

Live Performance from Dosey Doe's Open Mic Finals - The Value of Open Mics for Songwriters and Musicians

It's been years and years since I did an open mic. I was always too busy with tons of my own gigs. Plus most open mics don't have a piano - so it's a lot of work to bring my keyboard, set up for a couple of songs.

So why did I start going again? Because going to open mic's is so good for your music practice in so many ways! My first year in New York, I lived 5 minutes from a fantastic open mic! I went from 7pm to 4am and was booked up everywhere. The level of musicians was incredible. On top of that - they had a piano on stage! I went every Tuesday for a year. The benefits of that year I still feel to this day. Here’s a few reasons to spend some time at an open mic…

“I Dared And it Came True, living for real... living for real” - Music Video Premier

I release her today to acknowledge and inspire others on a similar journey;

For those who are not satisfied living according to other's expectations.

For those who don't want to play it safe.

For those who are shy and afraid, but showing up for their life anyways.

For those who are listening to that quiet voice calling them to truth.

For those who won't give up on themselves, even when the world has.

Why Do We Fall - Video and Single Release by Lyndol Descant, Produced by Colin Hua

Why Do We Fall is a jazzy tune about Narcissist/Empath relationship patterns. It was a rabbit hole I went down at the time whilst having a crush on a guy who was in a toxic relationship with a girl who was treating him like dirt.

Going Back to Analogue - New Music and Video by Lyndol Descant

Going Back to Analogue is a original instrumental set to my recent phone videos. I wanted to communicate the idea of a return to a simpler, cleaner lifestyle, closer to nature, as God intended. How this will look? That's what I'm interested in igniting hearts and imaginations towards...

Bob Marley's Song of Redemption calls us to sing with him Songs of Freedom

Redemption is a word that has been on my lips for months now. Singing Bob Marley's Redemption Song has been SUCH a comfort to me. It came into my mind early in the spring lockdown and I just couldn't play or sing it enough. In our solitude, my guy and I would jam on it together in my little Jersey City apartment. No matter how rough it got, we would find the fortitude we needed in that Redemption song; in those lyrics especially.

It's only now that I am finally in a place to better understand it’s power and share it with others through this impromptu video we did from one of our jam sessions.

I just learned this was Bob Marley's last song, on his last album. He performed it solo with only acoustic guitar; totally stripped of that classic Whailers’ sound. It makes his message stand out all the more. And what is that message? What does Redemption mean? It's hard to put into words.

Let It All Krumble - Music Video and Upcoming Single

I wrote this song 8 years ago; my first year in Brooklyn. I was hustling hard, renting a room and barely making rent. I was surrounded by all the grossness of NYC that you have to experience on a daily basis; from pollution to rotting garbage to poverty to dilapidated living spaces that cost more than a whole house back home.But despite what surrounded me, I felt more alive than ever. I was songwriting like crazy, performing weekly and teaching music to children from all walks of life. I was so just so thankful for the experience. I really did feel a whole new level of joy and peace on the inside.
