I am not exaggerating when I tell you that nerves and stage fright nearly ended my music career.

Did you know that singing has tremendous benefits for both your physical and mental health? It can enhance your brain health, promote longevity, and improve your overall well-being. Additionally, a vibrant throat chakra helps us express ourselves authentically and confidently, enhancing creativity and our ability to communicate our needs and boundaries effectively.

I'm Kat Martin, the proud founder of Wydle Voices Music Studio. Hailing from the sunny landscapes of Southern California, I am a singer, pianist, and songwriter.

Teaching music is not just my profession; it's my deepest passion. I find immense joy in helping others find their truest voice and watching it soar to new heights. Music has the power to transform lives, and I consider it a privilege to be a part of that transformative process.

Being a musician is soooo fun!! Haha. Sometimes is amazingly fun & joyful and sometimes is torture!

But really it’s only torture if we place expectations on ourselves.

I took music so seriously in my twenties that it almost destroyed the love & joy I felt playing music as a child.

My need and obsession for success as a musician killed all of the fun and in the process harmed my physical, emotional and mental health.

SUCCESS IS NEVER WORTH OUR HEALTH

Let me repeat that

SUCCESS IS NOT WORTH DESTROYING YOUR HEALTH

We deserve and can achieve success without harming ourselves.

I adored singing as a child. I remember rolling around in the grass with my dog Mack, singing lullabies to him. I sang because its what we humans were designed to do. Just like how birds sing. Just like our ancestors have always sung. It hasn’t been until recent history have we created this concept of singers and non singers within our culture.

Who here is a control freak? 🙋🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

I am a recovering perfectionist, anxiety ridden control freak!

Do you think that affected my singing? Hell yes it did!

I learned from a very young age that it was not safe to speak my truth or to speak up for myself the way my mom learned at a young age and her mother before her going back as far as I couldn’t even fathom. How many of you can relate to this?
