“Wings of an Angel has the persona of someone from the future, who was unfortunately trapped in the past, but doesn't let the frustration of the mundane get him down. He is someone who sees through the smoke and truly lives on a different plane than anyone I know personally. He is a unique balance of intelligence and humbleness and with a limitless ability for Love. If only more had the courage for this man's journey. Your art speaks of the only path I know to truth and salvation. The same salvation that religious followers on earth pray to their gods to attain. I find it amazing and beautiful how you fearlessly and solitarily triumph and never stray away from your own heart, journey, and truth! I love you as the butterfly loves the wind, as flowers love the sun, like families of fish swim and play their games in the currents of the oceans and rivers. Love like the beautiful connections of the protons, electrons, and molecules of the suns, planets and galaxies!”
Personal Message From Wings of an Angel: Thank you from the depth of my heart to each and every human being who experiences my music and tunes unto my realm of existence. First and foremost, my music is dedicated to all the lonely people, all those who are lost, struggling, those on the margins of society, the poor of spirit, the suffering, the miserable and those who are on the very tip of the iceberg of sanity. I have met many remarkable, peculiar, otherworldly, men and women throughout my life – both as an ever-exploring artist, and as a result of my work on the streets as a Social Worker. I know not what is the meaning of life of humans as species – I do know and feel that my personal meaning of life is to create. Art for art’s sake, 'l'art pour l'art'. I portray my inner microcosm by means of sound and poetry - which is my prayer for a decaying humanity, as well as divine resurrection for this God-forsaken planet. I feel that Art is sacred and must be treated accordingly. Real art answers back from the fathomless depths of time to one’s lonely prayers and pleadings to God at midnight. Real art has no destination, as well as no beginning and no end. Real art is more spiritual than any dogma and ism, more religious than any religion, more ethical than any moral doctrine. Art allows a genuine connection to our very being, to the core of our ‘self’, to the depths of our subconscious. I believe that our genesis does not happen upon our physical birth to the world – but only when, as a result of struggles, strife and tribulation – the black roots of suffering and agony develop into a garden of splendor within our souls. Only when we acknowledge our humanity and gain self-knowledge do we become alive. Otherwise, we’re just a seed, a possibility. My soundtrack is that of a Midnight Of The Soul.
Dear Friends, wherever you at, I would like to sincerely thank each and every one of you for BEING. I also wish to express a special THANK YOU to several of my greatest brothers who have infinitely inspired me, as well as been there for me come what may – you know who you are. Simply, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. Without you, I couldn’t have gotten to this point and wouldn’t be able to humbly present my art to the world in such a beautiful and complete form. I bow to you in supreme gratitude and infinite appreciation. May our sincere efforts and tears of sorrow become a spring of inspiration and healing to all beings who are in a state of need and despair. We Are The United Spirit Sound Rebels – On A Peregrination Through The Dark Age.

Reviews:
A. “When Death comes, it takes your soul out and brings it to the beginning. To the beginning that was and is above all. Your MUSIC is THE MUSIC that breaks all definitions, and reaches the soul straight out. Genuine. Don't try to give it a name or to explain it. It is the same as to give definition to the soul... It is more than music. Just forgive those who won't understand this. The soul doesn't care about words, definitions or frames. Your MUSIC comes from the depth of the Universe through your soul and your hands. You are the prophet and you are alone. You'll always be. But there are still some hearts that resonate with you. I am sure, whatever happens, your wings are ready to take you where eternal beauty and Unconditional Love composes life. Your Music is The Music of my dreams... Where I ramble down the dark tunnels and secret gardens of my soul... You took it from there. I know” (Review of Ayana).
B. "Ayana is definitely your most esoteric work to date, but is also highly concise In its reflection of your influences and ideas. I don't think anyone, anywhere, manages to cohesively entwine free jazz and Middle Eastern sounds in a beautiful way as you do! Your art expands the definitions of music, let alone the confines of electronic and sample-based music" (Review of Ayana).
C. “The music that you create has a strength and anticipation that is magical. Anticipation is actually a good word for your art, because I feel that I have stumbled upon a secret realm when I listen to this. A realm that is about to change the world. This really is a fascinating piece of beautiful and powerful work! You have enlightened me so much and helped me understand the madness that was developing within me. You have broke light over me, illuminating the dark crevasses where ethereal organisms dwell to root within” (Review of Ayana).
D. “You truly are my most precious muse. The inspiration of your voyage through life is ceaseless and never fails to make me aware of my own path because many times I forget about my own happiness as the world attempts to get its hooks into me. Your projects, Dearest One, truly are the pinnacle of art and sound! Your journey in fire will set a limitless travel in the most undefined experience ever felt by anyone! The music is so deeply profound that is makes the neuronal interactions within my mind ALIVE! I speak humbly in saying this is a true masterpiece. Your music contains a realm of wisdom which is a secret sacred language - secret because those who know not of it hide it from themselves. A gift of freedom your music is!” (Review of Ayana).
E. “Such a dose of truth, poetry, depth, tears of prophet straight into my brain can cause an irreversible damage... Every time I submerge into your music I feel shit... I feel caught by the fuss, conquered by the sin and destroyed from inside by my miserable erotic dreams... I am waiting for resurrection... It MUST happen. It WILL happen through your music. The thing I do worry about is the world around you. Only singles will understand you, only singles will take your holy spark and make a fire out of it. Only singles will follow you. Ayana is INCREDIBLY TREMENDOUS, GORGEOUS, OVERWHELMING. You've found the key to my soul. Perfect. Utopian. Thank you... It touched my deepest strings. You’ve taught me to LISTEN, I was fucking deaf before” (Review of Ayana).
