Hazel Ray is more than a singer-songwriter who creates music; she’s a dream pursuer.
In 2006, a letter from SONY shifted her focus to education. This unexpected path turned out to be part of a greater plan. Hazel Ray now forges deep inner transformation by fusing her music with experiences.
She pursued her passion for academia and earned a Bachelor’s degree in Behavioural Neuroscience and an education degree. These academic achievements led to a gratifying ten-year career as a teacher, specialising in Biology, Psychology, and Mathematics.
Her Personal Awakening that Sparked Transformation
At 32, Hazel encountered a personal awakening that profoundly shifted her perspective. It was this personal awakening that humbled her, as a powerful reminder of the uniqueness of life. Hazel deeply yearned to share her love for music with the world. Within three months, she courageously embarked on a transformative journey. After relocating to a new town, she parted ways with her established career to pursue her passion. The culmination of this unwavering determination resulted in the release of her debut single, ‘Find the Light.’
Hazel is unwaveringly convinced that her purpose is intricately linked to her musical calling. She believes her songs and their accompanying message are her enduring gift to the world.
Hazel Ray is a multifaceted artist who seamlessly blends music, storytelling, and mindfulness into a transformative experience. Her offerings have been described as a harmonious fusion of a TED Talk and a music show, promising an enlightening journey for the audience.
“My thing is that the world doesn’t need saving; people do. I’m just trying to open people’s minds to different tools to change their mindset. To find the courage to go and do what they want to do in life, rather than what they think they should be doing”, Hazel Ray shares.
Hazel shares profound insights from her personal experiences and reflections through her original music. Her compositions are melodic masterpieces and serve as a conduit for her teachings and lessons. Audience members can expect more than just a musical performance. You will embark on a thought-provoking odyssey that delves into neuroscience, meditation, and breathwork.
Hazel’s innovative approach to music extends beyond conventional entertainment. She invites listeners to explore life’s profound questions and gain a deeper perspective on existential inquiries. Her distinctive blend of music and mindfulness promises a truly unique and immersive experience that resonates deeply with her audience.
