About the artist: John Adorney is an award-winning composer and producer. He began his musical studies on the cello at the age of nine, then taught himself the guitar and began recording his original material at the age of eleven. John soon taught himself to play piano, and continued his classical studies at the University of Connecticut. Relocating to Los Angeles in 1980, he finished his undergraduate studies in both music and psychology. He began teaching music at a Culver City school for emotionally disturbed and developmentally disabled children. In 1991, he became a certified music therapist and developed a successful private practice while also teaching courses in music therapy at California State University, Long Beach. During his years in Los Angeles, John began to focus on composing instrumental music. In 1986, he met 7-year-old Daya, who, even at a young age, had an outstanding voice, and would later lend her vocals to John's recordings. On his approach to music, John states, "In my music therapy practice, I often work with individuals who have no language, and who are extremely limited in their cognitive and physical abilities. This really enables me to see that music truly transcends the intellect, the ability to move, and everything that separates human beings. It has the ability to touch the heart, and for me, that is what makes it all worthwhile."
