ARISE Music Festival

The Heartifact was born from the love shared between twin flames, who each remember the first time they laid eyes on each other. This sonic shamanic collaboration of Bri Summers & Rob Recker fuses elements of soulful hip-hop with a funky, island, folk twist and uses positive prayerful affirmations as the hooks, backed with tasty beat-boxing. This desire to serve through sound and mantra became clear to both Rob & Bri in the spring of 2014, following a profoundly transformative ceremonial experience on Maui. Though they had both been musicians for years, they had been feeling largely unfulfilled in their musical expressions. It was only upon the clarity of their intention to produce songs of the heart frequency, songs of empowerment, that the hooks, melodies and riffs began to emerge. Since then it has been a constant practice for them to listen to their hearts and still their minds with the focused intention to continue on this path of protecting our planet, empowering our people, honoring our ancestors, and sharing our gifts.
