Quotes:
20:30
“I think we’re all on a healing and a blossoming journey. We’re all on a journey of learning to give and receive love… To give, and receive, and embody love.”
28:14
“As I became more aware and intentional about creating an inspired life, a heart-centered life, I started making more empowering choices, as to mindset messages that I was going to surround myself with the types of people, the types of organizations that I want to be a part of. And so, little by little I started gravitating toward other heart-centered, God-inspired people. And little by little, as the light started coming in, my life started to be a reflection of my deepest truth. And I call that walking our Soul path.”
36:23
“Sometimes, when we are dealing with something that’s upsetting us, that we feel angry about, or we’re in a negative state about, we try to fight the negativity and we try to get rid of it, which causes a lot of resistance. And I have found – and this is what the practice of yoga and spiritual practices taught me – that by inviting the light in, inviting the love in, inviting spirit in, the forgiveness, the healing starts to happen automatically.”
37:17
“I can have a lot of intentions throughout the day, but my one guiding intention is to be an instrument of universal love.”
41:43
“…Maybe they’re not singer-songwriters, or an author or a writer, maybe they’re calling us something different. I would like to share with you that that doesn’t mean you’re not a creator. Your life is your greatest art form. I believe our life is a creation, we create through our thoughts, words, our actions, and our choices.”

21:46
“Our task, I believe, is to go deep within, is to reassess everything now, and to find out should we even be singing? Should we even be producing art? And if the answer is Yes, then it’s got to be something that speaks now to the to the new music industry to the new time that we’re in for however long that is.”
26:32
“I think there is a purpose, I don’t exactly know. I think it has to do with spiritual healing through music, and not only that delighting through music and entertaining through music, and just being marvelous through music. And music will never lose that power.”
37:02
“I think that’s what really lit my fire again. That, you know, I have to feel that I do have something to bring this world through my art, something to give. Not just that I want to receive the glory of it.”

It feels like I’m back where I belong and that is here on the dHarmic evolution hanging out with you. We’ve got an awesome, young Spitfire lady today on the show. We got to chat with her before and it’s amazing to hear from her again. She is a singer, a lyricist, and the star performer of the band Dream Aria, Ann Burstyn!
Dream Aria is one of the best Canadian Progressive rock bands that I know. They were already great before, but there has been a lot of growth and development that you can hear in their sound. The playing and the vocals have jumped way up. As they said, their motto is “No rules, no boundaries.” They don’t limit themselves to evolving their sound. We’ve got two amazing tracks featured on the show today but there are a lot more to hear from them, so check out the links below on where you can find them.
Ann updates us on how they are doing right now in Toronto, Canada – also with her daughter, health-wise, and of course, with their music. She also shares some of her hobbies and something that can help you with de-stressing.
More about Dream Aria
Other Members:
- Donald Stagg – Keyboardist, Composer, and sometimes lyricist
- Garry Flint – Drummer, Producer/Engineer, Co-composer and main Composer
- Andrew Berezowsky – Guitarist, Violinist, Vocalist
Dream Aria is virtually everywhere, but the best place to check them out is on their Facebook page. Ann and Don are both on it, checking your messages for whatever you need to reach out to them with. Also, check out their YouTube channel, they’ve got new videos waiting for you. All links are provided below.
Quotes:
11:33
“Every day that’s a studio day is the best day. For me, it’s heaven and I don’t like being away from the studio, in fact. I find it difficult.”
23:03
We want to be together. The real magic is actually being together.
26:58
“Being outside in nature, and doing the photography and seeing all this beauty that I really didn’t know existed. I mean, I knew it was there, just not to the extent that I’ve now seen, has been very healing for me. And it helped take away a lot of my physical pain, emotional pain, mental stress, it’s a good de-stress. “
29:29
“The fresh air alone. I mean, anyone can do this if they’re feeling low, or just, you know, clutters in their head. Just go outside, just for five minutes. It’s so feeling just the fresh air or there’s a certain vibe.”
45:13
“I think my main thing lately is seeing that people are quite depressed, isolated, lonely, and sad. And when I speak with personal friends about this, I urge them to try something new to get out of there, that feeling of isolation.”
46:55
“Honestly, everyone has something in them I think that they can tap into, and then they can develop into this gift they never knew and that they can share it with others. I mean, how great would that be?”

Jason Damico, throws us back to the greatest “Rock & Roll”
Welcome to episode #302 of dHarmic Evolution
Today we’ve got a really unbelievable guy, he is like a throwback to yesteryear. This young man is a tribute to the best rock music you’ve ever heard in your life. His music is like a rework of the whole sound of the classic rock icons of years gone by and made it even better.
Check out this gentleman! He is a musician, producer, singer-songwriter, and mixing engineer. Moreover, he is an actor for a couple of decades now. All the way up from North Carolina, Jason Damico!
A little background on Jason Damico
He grew up with great parents who have been supporting him in both music and acting. He started out as an actor when he modeled as a calendar baby at 18 months old. At 2 years old, he was holding a plastic guitar, making the couch as the amplifiers and it is for him as a vision quest and that’s how everything started. He was raised music-wise with a little bit of the faith-based Christian raw community and the secular music – from the classic rock icons.
At 15, he won the battle of the bands with some friends. Recording his music fueled his creativity in producing and as a mixing engineer to create sounds. During his freshman to sophomore years, he went to jazz camps at colleges. He was in college-level theory courses as a drummer, his main instrument.
He also shared with us his injury back when he was 14 which instead of being a setback became a supernatural experience on understanding the context of soundscape both from a structural standpoint and also melodic theory.
Jason as an actor, musician, and producer at this time
Jason’s honest answer when asked how he managed to balance his acting and music career is “Barely”. He really got a lot on his plate. But from his standpoint, he considers acting and music as not as much different.
Due to the current situation, Jason just did house concerts, but he is mainly focusing on all the projects he is going to roll out in 2021. He also did mix a couple of records for other artists. As of the moment, he is still in the process of elimination and is waiting to unfold what is in store in the future.
More about Jason Damico
Jason got good news on what he’s been working on and the best place to stay tuned is through his website, jasondamico.com. You can also catch him on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube. All links are provided below.
Quotes:
13:59
I really didn’t see any problem in not pursuing it. It seemed like a problem if I didn’t pursue it.
27:07
If I can just take a second to try and encourage anybody out there who has been through any type of physical trauma. You know, there’s light at the end of the tunnel and sometimes it could be your greatest asset later on. It just takes time.
32:48
You’re just trying to be authentic and be present at the moment and have the best performance possible.
56:42
I would say, just stay true to yourself, and really take the time to meditate, spend time in prayer, whatever that means for you. And really settle down within yourself and just be okay with the silence.
