Ian Gillan was one of the foremost vocalists of the heavy metal style of rock that emerged in the ‘70s, earning his greatest celebrity as a member of Deep Purple despite the fact that he also led his own bands. Ian began singing while still in his teens and was a member of several pub rock bands. It was in one of these that he met bass player Roger Glover, and the two were invited to join Deep Purple in 1969. They debuted with the band in London of the same year. Ian Gillan's voice was the making of Deep Purple and he was featured on a series of hugely successful recordings including Fireball, Machine Head, Made in Japan and Who Do We Think We Are. He also starred on Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's concept album Jesus Christ Superstar where he sang the title role. That album topped the U.S. charts in 1971. Ian Gillan recorded and toured the world relentlessly in those days until he was hospitalised for exhaustion in 1971. He decided to take leave of the band and, just as he left, "Smoke on the Water" from Machine Head began making its way up the U.S. charts, where it would peak in the Top Five and go gold, becoming Deep Purple's biggest ever career hit. Ian then bought a recording studio and signed a solo deal with a small record company. He formed the Ian Gillan Band and in 1975, their debut album, Child in Time, entered the charts. Switching record labels, the group simplified its name to Gillan and recorded a series of albums, many of which hit the charts worldwide. At the end of 1982, Ian disbanded Gillan, announcing that he had to rest his vocal cords on doctor's orders. The following year, he surprised fans by joining Black Sabbath and recorded their album Born Again. He also began touring with the band. Ian says he was lucky to survive that ongoing party. In 1984, the original 1969-1973 line up of Deep Purple got back together. They cut the million-selling Perfect Strangers and the House of Blue Light. In 1989, Ian Gillan again quit the band. That December, he participated in an all-star remake of "Smoke on the Water" issued as a charity single which made the British Top 40. Ian Gillan continued to release solo albums. At the end of 1992, he again returned to Deep Purple and the band commenced a world tour. Ian left yet again and in 1998, he released yet another solo album. After 2009's offering, he continued to focus on Deep Purple and didn't make another solo album for almost a decade. These days Ian Gillan remains at the helm of Deep Purple and the album "Machine Head - Deluxe 50th Anniversary Edition" has just been released. The box set with LP, three CDs, Blu-Ray, booklet and various memorabilia also includes a remastered version of the original mix, a 1972 concert recording from London and a previously unreleased recording from 1971 made at the Casino Montreux which later burned down. It was included, despite its limited sound quality, "because of its historical relevance" according to the notes on the back of the box. Despite all the nostalgia and the loss of his wife a couple of years ago, Ian Gillan is again looking forward. He is currently living on the coast in Portugal and is at work on the band's next studio album - number 23 - with his long-time band mates Roger Glover and Ian Paice. The 78 year old is getting set for yet another Deep Purple tour that's about to kick off in Australia.

Monifa Harris, Vocal Alchemist and Visibility Coach, helps her students discover how they can speak up or sing with confidence. She credits some of her teaching ability on the fact that she wasn't gifted with a natural singing talent, but instead had to uncover and strengthen her personal expression in order to fulfill her dreams, and so she now does the same with her studio members, whether they are performers, entrepreneurs or executives. Monifa is also an advocate of embracing your natural energy cycles and working in flow. This has helped her feel fully creatively expressed without falling victim to burnout or losing her passion for her work.In this episode we discussWhy your voice is important for so much more than singingHow aiming for perfection may be holding you backAllowing your body to guide you to realize your vision.Why voice and facial expression are fundamental for human connectionThe human evolution from surviving to thrivingWays to succeed if goals don't work for youFinding space your “now moment” for inspiration“You either have to give yourself a ton of space for that preparation or a ton of grace for the execution.” Monifa HarrisConnect with Monifa in her free facebook community, Get Vocal- and follow her on IG @dramamezzo Join the conversation at happifiedlife.com or over in the Live with Less Stress facebook group

My guest this week is "The Vocal Alchemist" Sharleen Linton, who now helps public speakers transform their nerves into confidence and power. Sharleen has previously used her voice as a professional backing singer for artists including Adele, Smokey Robinson, Craig David, Natasha Bedingfield and John Legend. However, after years travelling extensively, Sharleen has now shifted path and moved into helping others unlock their true vocal potential. A true entrepreneur at heart, Sharleen creates her own magic and helps others do the same. Sharleen is all about educating, supporting and helping others understand the importance of the environment they create within themselves with their internal voice. It's so important to recognise how you speak, feel and govern yourself emotionally, physically and spiritually, will affect how your voice behaves. If you are steadfast and focussed about what it is that you are creating, what you will discover is that often the biggest opportunities will come to you, like unseen forces are working on your behalf. We nip off topic towards the end of the episode, dipping into the state of US politics, but it all ties in to discuss the power of unshakeable self belief. This grammy winning performance of Layla Hathaway is referenced during our chat, it's so worth another watch even if you have seen it from when it went viral 7 years ago - around 6 minutes in she overtones. Layla Hathaway with Snarky Puppy You can also enjoy Sharleen singing All Night Long here If you would like to connect with Sharleen, check out her facebook group "The Confident Speakers Corner" and follow her on socials under the name "The Vocal Alchemist".
Nicole Casteel is a Sound Healer, Vocal Alchemist, and Intuitive Coach. She taps into, creates, and grows space for healing. She shares with us how she came into the sound healing world after being super classically trained in vocalist performance and Opera. This includes discussing the death of her own identity as she searched to find her truth when healing from layered grief and the actual death of her father. Nicole gifts us with her story of how she decided to radically change how she chooses to experience her grief and emotions by practicing energetic hygiene and now teaching breath work, facilitating drum circles, well-ness retreats, virtual sound healing, coaching and much more. We discuss the impacts of trapped grief and trauma in our DNA from our ancestors. This includes briefing relationships with social injustice and racism- that it’s never too late to heal parts of our ancestors and impacts on future generations. She brings inspiration, new insight, and encouragement to better KNOW THY SELF. WMM?E values this and believes in order for us to better support and cope with grief as a community, we must first tend to ourselves. Nicole wrote: " riding the waves of intensity, longing, knowing and then unknowing... the one thing I come back to that is constant -My breath. It is the bridge between my conscious and subconscious mind (where all the healing happens), it is the very first thing I did when I entered this world and the very last thing I will do when I leave (all the layers around death and birth which basically sums up everything). It is the thing I can control and also not control. It opens my heart, where the TRUTH about everything is always hiding, and it connects me. Because we are all in lots of uncertain spaces right now and the breath is the place where we can lean into that and make space for the new things to emerge. It can be as simple as breathing instead of reacting. Right here, right now." Clients have posted "She is channeling medicine that bridges heaven & earth. I was transported to places I didn’t even know I needed to go. Pure magic.” To learn more about her work, how to sign up for your own virtual breath work, sound healing and 1:1 coaching- be sure to check out: https://www.nicolecasteel.com/ or on IG & FB @wildheartresonance Remember, don't hold your grief in- it must be processed or shared in some context, even if alone while spending time grounding on the earth, mindful breathing- and even writing it down and mailing in as part of our "Share Your Grief Story" project.
