Life is a Ceremony

how blessed we are. how free. how beautiful is life for those who can see.

Om Swastiastu. My name is Purnama, welcome to my world. Here I share my stories, my music & all that inspires me.
The world is transforming, and we decide into which direction we are heading.
Let us plant seeds that grow into forests of freedom.

singer-songwriter • visual artist • wisdom keeper • ceremonialist

Born as Purnama Melissa, I am blessed to have grown up between the majestic mountains of Switzerland & the enchanting jungles of Bali. 

Music, art and community are the things to have most helped me to navigate the many trials & challenges of life. In the same way, I hope that my creations help to uplift & support those around me too! My aspiration is to shift the focus on the beauty & abundance that surrounds us in every moment, and how our our shared humanity, our intertwined emotions, bind us as one.

I am passionate about uniting people through the universal language of music. This fuels my drive to create sacred spaces that encourage & nurture authentic expression. I am also dedicated to preserve indigenous wisdom for the generations to come.
