This is the Alderly House outside of #London, and the venue where I'll be giving a concert on Oct. 6th. On this trip I'll be reuniting with the team at @Unreasonable. I adore the Unreasonable Group and our ongoing collaborations. In fact on their accelerator websites, my official title is the Unreasonable Goddess. YOU KNOW I LOVE THIS. 😍 This will be my third time uniting forces with the Unreasonable and their accelerators. The first was the @GirlEffect Accelerator in the fall of 2014, which was a partnership with the @Nike Foundation and was focused on empowering ventures that were helping young girls in poverty receive an education. Then this past June we united again for the @ProjectLiteracy Lab, which was a partnership with @Pearsons and focuses on ending global illiteracy. This round Unreasonable has partnered with Barclay's Bank. What this accelerator will be focused on is still hush hush, but will be announced soon! This mansion makes me think of Sherlock Holmes, or the game Clue, or perhaps a Robert Altman film. I'm so excited to spend some quality time in the UK, and with so many amazing entrepreneurs on such a beautiful estate. #unreasonable #london #igerslondon #igersuk #uk #unitedkingdom #alderlyhouse #livemusic #itsnotaviolin #viola #strings #looping #classical #classicalmusic #mansion #estate #accelerator #barclays #illiteracy #girls #education #literacy #poverty #healing #bts #behindthescenes #weekend #sunday #sundayfunday #reunited #love #reunitedanditfeelssogood

I had a beautiful time today meeting and performing at my home studio for @jamesgross, the co-founder of @percolatehq. We had a great conversation about transition, disruption in marketing, and the role of hope in our society. We could've talked for hours! Here's a moment from my live performance to share with you. #transition #percolate #spectrumofhope #elpisiscoming #theescape #hope #elpis #thewall (at Los Angeles, California)

June is going to be so meaningful and insightful. Feeling grateful for the magic of life!!

I'm releasing a new video performance tomorrow/Friday, in honor of #MothersDay! It's a performance that is dear to my heart because not only do I play one of my favorite tracks from my upcoming album #ELPIS, I also give an autobiographical speech about the challenges my mother faced growing up in #Vietnam, why she dreamed of having a daughter and how one of her life goals was for me to receive a quality #education and feel empowered to follow my dreams. Stay tuned friends! #tbt #mommyandme #newmusic #bts #comingsoon #livemusic #music #girlpower #women #empowerment

Celebrating #internationalwomensday by running meetings and getting biz done with a team of men and a #punkrock #fridakahlo mug of coffee at my side. I am an artist, a CEO, a partner, a friend, and a leader. I am both strong and vulnerable, and am free to make my own choices and create my own destiny. I am trained to be a fighter and a lover. I am both feminine and masculine. I am #girlpower. Happy International Women's Day to all and thank you to all of the men and women who have changed history so that women can continue to rise to the North Star of equality. #bethechange

I received the first draft designs of my new merchandise line that will launch with the new album this fall. Clothes, hats, gloves, scarves, sacred objects and accessories, thematic packaging, all kinds of surprises are in store. It's soooooo exciting to see it all start to become a reality! #comingsoon #itsallhappening #entrepreneur #artist (at Los Angeles, California)

Happy Valentines Day to Michael, the best wingman and soulmate a girl could ever want. Eight years and counting baby! #truelove #valentines #bonnieandclyde #ninjabuddies #superfriends #bff

Los Angeles, I'm giving a concert on Friday, Feb. 19th! (Please note that this event has been rescheduled and is no longer on Feb. 5th.) I'm very excited to perform in my home city. This benefit concert is at 9pm and will be at the gorgeous Big Art Church in Hollywood. It's a large space with fantastic acoustics, and there is plenty of room for everyone so please invite your friends. We'll be celebrating that mysterious art of FLOW and bringing community love to our friend before she heads into surgery. This event and concert is going to be very heartfelt and the crowd is going to be creative, fun and fantastic, so we hope to see you there. This is an all-ages event so your children are welcome.
