As music director of Unity Spiritual
Center in Westlake, Ohio, it has been my great privilege to work with Jody Soland. I have never found another singer/songwriter
more attuned to the voice of Spirit, and more willing and open to being a channel to express music as a blessing to others.
Her voice, her lyrics, and music all touch my heart with a geniuses that is uncommon. I have seen the effect her music has
on the people who experience it, and I would not hesitate to recommend her for any singing engagement you could get her for.
I am among the many who regularly seek her wonderful talents.

Beautiful Story and Song- 'Til
You Can See Me - very strong message.
Yes, I VERY STRONGLY recommend this song going into all schools.

Jody's Heartwork/Artwork workshop during our music conference last year was phenomnal! It was not only
a wonderful way to open our music conference and help people to connect to one another, but it also provided an outlet for
our creativity to flow. It was a stimulating, wondrous workshop.

definitely call on them again!

I wanted something unique and special to give my husband as a Christmas gift,
so I commissioned Jody to write a love song based upon our story as a married couple. Both the music and lyrics were wonderful,
and Jody delivered the song via a private concert. Her voice is truly angelic, and she created a gift that we will treasure
the rest of our lives.
