Discography
The Voice of Courage
A Pop – Jazz – Chill Out album released in 2014
The inspiration for this album came from Lorrayn’s journey to bring the light into her own life; from her fight to grow into all that she knew she could be; from finding and expressing her VOICE OF COURAGE. The songs tell of her story of moving from darkness into light; from being broken to being complete; from feeling abandoned to being found; from being filled with filled with revenge and fear to learning forgiveness and how to love.

The Musician's Song
Songs of the Earth
This is an accapella album of sixteen songs, chants and rounds from around the world recorded live in a Chapel near Brighton, England. Traditionally, many of the songs have been passed on only by ear from one singer to another singer to another singer hearing them, learning and them passing them on to another singer as a live chain of music and vibration. Such was the case for the group of singers and friends on this album.
Many of the songs are easy to learn and effective for healing. They formed the foundation of the courses for THE COURAGE TO SING courses and choirs creating a basis for people to learn how to sing.
