Kelsey Kluijtmans:
Singer Songwriter – Concerts – Soundhealing – Voice Liberation
Music has been a guiding thread of her life from an early age. At just 11 years old, she received her first guitar. She never took formal lessons but found her teachers on the road.
During her travels in Australia, she pushed herself to grow even more as a musician. A kind man gifted her a beautiful guitar, but shortly after, while heading south, her bag was stolen, along with her passport and credit cards. Unable to withdraw money, she had no choice but to play music on the streets for two weeks to earn enough to fly to Sydney and apply for a new passport. The experience forced her to step out of her shell completely. From that moment on, she began performing regularly in pubs and bars.
Although music had always been her passion, she struggled with deep insecurity about using her voice. Stepping onto the streets and later onto stages was not just about survival; it was about finding the courage to be heard
Traveling kept her moving, surrounded by new people and experiences, leaving little space to process her emotions.
The universe sent signs to slow down, but she ignored them. She bought a bus infested with bed bugs, suffered severe infections in the jungle, and had her bag stolen, losing her passport and credit cards. To stay in Australia another year, she had to complete 45 days of farm work with only 50 days left. Exhausted and overwhelmed, she barely made it through.
In her final weeks, she played music on the streets to afford a new passport. Though she secured her second-year visa, she never used it, paying a high price for a path she was no longer meant to follow.
During this time, she felt she needed rest, as back pain from the bed bugs in Australia lingered. When she returned to the Netherlands, tingling arms from tightness in her back reminded her to slow down, but she ignored it and continued with her plans to go to Asia.
After meeting a woman who had attended a yoga retreat in Thailand, she decided to join for three days. It felt amazing, but she pushed it aside, chasing other adventures.
In Indonesia, still in pain, she contracted the Dengue virus and had to be hospitalized. Surrendering to the need for healing, she chose to return home, her soul calling her back.
After returning from her trip and recovering, she began taking yoga classes. It gave her much-needed space, both physically and mentally, and reminded her of the benefits yoga offered. But more importantly, it provided her with a space to start healing from deep emotional wounds she had been carrying for years.
For the first time during Savasana in one of the yoga classes, she played music. The experience felt deeply intimate; the silence, the people lying down, and the music filling the room. That’s when she realized what she had been searching for: a path of healing and self-discovery through both music and yoga.
After dreaming about it for a while, she started a yoga teacher training. From day one, she knew: YES, FINALLY I’M HOME.
As a singer-songwriter, her musical journey truly began when she started healing. Through her own process of self-discovery, she found that music became her most powerful tool for expression and healing. Each song she writes reflects the layers of her journey: emotions, pain, and growth. By sharing her music, she not only heals herself but invites others to connect with their own stories and experiences. Her path as an artist is deeply intertwined with her personal journey of transformation, and she continues to create music that resonates with authenticity and vulnerability.
Voice liberation has been a soul-searching journey for her, a path of discovering her true essence one layer at a time. From a young age, music was her companion, but it was only after deep personal struggles that she truly began to connect with her voice. Each layer peeled back revealed a deeper connection to her heart and the healing power of sound. Through music, yoga, and self-reflection, she learned to embrace the power of her voice, not just as a form of expression but as a sacred tool for healing and personal transformation. It’s been a journey home to herself.
During her younger years, she was introduced to sound healing and singing bowls, which always intrigued her. In 2017, she bought her own singing bowls in Nepal and began collecting various instruments. During her yoga training, she connected with these instruments and worked with the chakras. Her yoga journey led her to face deep parts of herself. Feeling lost and disconnected many times, it was a profound journey to rediscover who she truly was. It was also a journey from her head to her heart, reflected in her voice; the sound, energy, and expression.
As she grounded deeper, her voice became more rooted and powerful. Working through the chakras, she gained self-awareness, which resonated in her voice. She is now fully embodying her mission: music. Despite distractions, she always returned to her path.
The more she delves into sound and resonance, the more she is amazed by this powerful medicine. We are vibration, everything is vibration and frequency. Each soul has its own unique frequency. Her mission is to help people remember who they truly are and reconnect with their soul’s frequency.
