Music has always invited transformation: throughout history it has brought us together, shifted paradigms and defined collective consciousness.
The debut album from singer-songwriter Reachel Singh and musician, producer and songwriter Vinay Vyas promises just that: it is a reminder that beneath the noise we are one, connected by our humanity and the shared experience of everything it is to be human in this world.
The album, Kintsugi, was executive-produced by OMMM, an organisation that exists to deepen connections and raise consciousness through events and meaningful experiences.
‘As OMMM’s first recording artist, Reachel represents everything we hope OMMM Music will stand for: exceptional artistry, meaningful storytelling and music that contributes something positive to the world’, said Michelle Narciso, founder and CEO of OMMM. ‘We are proud to support her journey and excited to see where her voice will take her next.’
We invited to Reachel and Vinay, who are also OMMMbassadors (ambassadors for OMMM), to share the story behind their album, and tell us why they believe music has a unique power to change and heal the world.
I don’t remember choosing music; it always felt like music was there. As a child I sang constantly, but somewhere along the way I lost trust in my own voice. After being rejected by music schools, I convinced myself that perhaps music wasn’t meant for me.
I became a primary school teacher instead, building what looked like a stable life. Yet there was always a quiet voice inside whispering that I was here for something else. Eventually my body spoke louder than my mind. Stress, sleepless nights and burnout became an invitation to listen.
I left everything behind and began travelling without knowing exactly what I was looking for. My journey led me through India and many other parts of the world, where I immersed myself in ancient traditions, meditation, mantra, Kabbalah and the healing power of sound.
Somewhere along the way I realised that music was never simply entertainment: it was remembrance. It was prayer. It was a way of coming home. From that moment on, creating music became less about performing and more about listening – allowing something greater than myself to move through me. That journey became Kintsugi.
The album could never have been anything else for my debut because it tells the story of how I found my way back to my own voice. The Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold became the perfect metaphor for my life. Every rejection, every detour, every moment of uncertainty, every leap into the unknown became part of something more beautiful than I could have planned. Looking back, I wouldn’t remove any of the cracks because they shaped both the person and the artist I’ve become.
Writing these songs transformed me because they demanded honesty. Music has taught me that healing doesn’t happen because someone gives us answers; it happens because something helps us remember what has always been within. I believe that is what music can offer the world today – and that very little else can.
We live in a time of endless information and opinions, yet music speaks somewhere beyond language.
Before we understand with our minds, we feel. A melody, a voice or a single vibration can soften the nervous system, open the heart and remind us of our shared humanity. In a world that often feels divided, music quietly reminds us that beneath all our stories, we are not separate.
This album would not exist without OMMM; Michelle recognised the vision before it fully existed and gave Vinay and me the trust and space to create without rushing the process.
Rather than encouraging us to follow trends, they encouraged us to follow truth. That has been an incredible gift.
Working with Vinay has been equally special. Over the past few years we’ve learned to create from a place of listening rather than forcing. We often begin with one simple question: ‘What wants to come through?’
Many of the songs felt less like they were written and more like they arrived. That shared trust has become the heartbeat of this album.
AI is now creating music at an unprecedented scale; I believe what remains uniquely human is consciousness. AI can generate melodies, lyrics and beautiful arrangements, but it cannot live a life. It cannot experience grief, surrender, forgiveness, falling in love, losing everything or finding hope again. Those experiences leave an invisible imprint within every note we sing.
People don’t only hear music; they feel the intention from which it was created. Presence, lived experience and genuine emotion carry a frequency that cannot be manufactured. I believe those qualities will become even more valuable as technology continues to evolve.
Kintsugi feels like the beginning rather than the destination. I don’t think in terms of building a catalogue of albums; I simply want to follow life and allow the music to reflect whatever truth each season is asking me to embody.
If someone listens to this album with an open heart, the intention is not to remember me – it is to remember themselves. When people listen, I hope they leave feeling a little softer, a little lighter and a little more courageous to live from their heart rather than from fear. That they remember that joy is not something we earn once everything is perfect, but something we can choose, even in an imperfect world.
Ultimately, Kintsugi is an invitation to remember that beneath every crack, every loss and every transformation, there is something within us that has never been broken. If these songs help even one person remember that, then this music has fulfilled its purpose.
We are living in extraordinary times; never before have we had so much music within reach, and yet it has become so easy to forget how to truly listen.
Songs move endlessly through playlists. The skip button waits beside the play button. We consume more than ever, yet gather less.
Perhaps that is why music has become more important than ever; not because we need more songs, but because we need more moments that remind us how to be human.
Music asks almost nothing of us – it doesn’t ask us to become someone new, it simply invites us to stop, to listen and to remember the quiet space that has been here all along – beneath the noise, beneath the striving, beneath the endless becoming.
When people gather around a fire, stand together in a concert hall or sing with open hearts, something primitive awakens. For a few precious moments, we stop performing our lives and begin inhabiting them again. We remember that beneath our stories, our ambitions and our differences, there is something we all share.
My own relationship with music began long before I understood any of this. As a child I didn’t simply listen to songs – I listened to sound itself. The rhythm of cutlery against a plate. The hum of a room. The silence between sounds.
While my sister discovered herself through movement, I discovered myself through listening. Every melody felt like a tiny crystal carrying its own colour, atmosphere and way of seeing the world.
Music became a lifelong companion or, perhaps more truthfully, a lifelong lover. She never asked me to become someone else; she only ever asked for my full presence.
Whenever life became too joyful to contain or too painful to understand, I returned to her. Music became the friend that carried the tune of whatever I was living in that moment: my first heartbreak found its melody there, my wonder found its melody there, my questions found their melody there.
She waited without judgement, asking nothing of me except honesty. And every time I returned, she reflected something back to me that I had not yet been able to see for myself.
Percussion became melody. Melody became the piano. The piano became a landscape where my hands could wander from the deepest notes to the highest, as though tracing the length of a spine.
Eventually, writing songs became inevitable. Like a fruit tree that naturally longs to bear fruit, music simply wanted to express itself through me. What began as fascination slowly became a vocation, carrying me into studios around the world and, ultimately, to Portugal, where life unfolded in ways I could never have planned.
Later, technology entered my life and opened doors that previous generations could scarcely imagine. I welcomed it with gratitude.
Somewhere along the way, I discovered that the song is never the destination. A song may live for four minutes; the becoming of that song may live for months. That is where life happens: in shared silence. In laughter between takes. In conversations that wander without knowing where they are going. In a melody that appears from nowhere and leaves everyone in the room smiling because none of us knows where it came from.
Long after the song has travelled into the world, those moments continue living. That is what music means to me now: not the product, the process. Not the performance, the presence.
Meeting Reachel deepened that understanding. From the first moment she sang, it felt as though the music arriving between us belonged to neither of us. Our collaboration became less about writing songs and more about creating the conditions in which songs could reveal themselves. Friendship came before production. Listening came before direction. Care came before achievement.
Our album grew the same way a tree grows: patiently, quietly, always reaching towards the light. It was never a rigid concept waiting to be executed; it has been a living conversation, shaped by trust and by our willingness to arrive without fixed ideas.
Every song carries its own colour, and together they tell a story neither of us could have written alone. That same spirit is what drew us to OMMM. Through Michelle, I experienced another powerful transformation: discovering that business itself can have a heart. Creativity and integrity need not compete. Kindness and excellence can walk together. That realisation healed a story I didn’t even know I had been carrying.
People often ask whether Artificial Intelligence (AI) threatens the future of music. I see it differently. Every generation mistakes its newest tools for either salvation or catastrophe. They are neither. They are simply tools. AI cannot miss someone. It cannot forgive. It cannot sit beside a friend whose heart is breaking. It cannot spend months wrestling with silence until a melody finally reveals itself. Only a human heart can do that. Technology may help us shape music, but life gives it breath.
If someone carries anything with them after listening to this album, I hope it is not simply a melody. I hope they leave a little slower, a little softer, a little more willing to listen – not only to the music, but to the quiet song that has always been playing beneath the noise of the world.
