Thomas Barquee, Producer
All Is Forgiven is the first musical collaboration between vocalist Ashana and renowned world music artist and producer, Thomas Barquee. "I tremendously enjoyed making music with Ashana because she has the rare ability to improvise fluently in traditional, even classical styles. So we were able to create a unique signature sound for her that features this. This music is not only healing and relaxing, it will also draw good things to you and steer you towards your own center of creativity and inspiration."
As a world music pop artist, Thomas Barquee studied classical piano and composition in Germany and signed his first record deal as a pop singer/songwriter with Sony Music. He has released 7 albums in 42 countries. Barquee's music combines entertainment with spiritual healing and western with eastern elements. He believes that all religions have something in common. As a producer, Barquee helps other artists find their own true voice, and has worked with many, including Snatam Kaur, Seal, Lamont Dozier and Olivia D’Abo.
“It is hard to believe how healing this music is. When I hear the Ave Maria, my body fills with an incredible energy, my eyes fill with tears, and I feel connected to my inner self.”

“As a photographer and artist, this work is incredibly inspiring. I would like everyone I know to own a copy of this CD!”

“All Is Forgiven, the new release from angelic-voiced Ashana, could be titled –A Gift from Heaven.”
