Jimmy Leslie The music Jessica Styler and John Villa (pronounced "vee-yah") create together will take you on a meditative and vibrational journey. It will leave you feeling centered and spiritually connected with the earth around you. It is a musical fusion of archaic forces of the universe, transcending boundaries of the past, present, and future... for the Hang (pronounced "hung"), a melodic Swiss percussion instrument that is often referred to as a "gift from heaven", feels and looks like it is either a thousand years old or from the future, but in actuality was created just 8 years ago.

"Jessica and John perform so beautifully and powerfully together that you forget there is only two of them. It was the first time any of us had heard the Hang, a fascinating and engaging instrument that was perfectly complemented by the Tabla and Didjeridu. Their passion and dedication show through the beautiful music that they create, and enable you to disappear into their world. I've never heard anything like it." - Oriel Katsir

Jessica Styler has been studying classical music most of her life, though it was only when she first heard the Hang that she knew there existed an instrument in this world meant for her. Each Hang looks similar but feels and sounds entirely different, so Jessica followed her musical dream to Switzerland this past August and participated in the inspired process of finding the Hang that resonated with her. John Villa will be accompanying Jessica on the Tabla, Didjeridu, Middle Eastern Frame Drums, Dumbek and Wood Flutes. John is a Didjeridu master and world percussionist who has been playing the Didjeridu for over 20 years and has a Masters' degree in North African and Middle Eastern Music.
