Heaven’s Joy – Band bio

FROM THE BAND . . .

‘We have known each other for quite a long time: Andrea and Chris are sister and brother and we first met Urs when we were teenagers... Today Andrea and Urs are a couple, and Andrea, Urs and Chris live together in a wonderful, lovely house!

We began to play together as a trio a few years ago and presented concerts in Germany with our own songs. In April 2014 we recorded the first ideas for ‘Love Is Who We Are’ and in March 2015 we started to record our new album that we launched in November 2015.

‘Love Is Who We Are’ is made to offer a heavenly quality to the listener to lift you up to your true potential, to remind us all of who we truly are and that we can – by our daily living – bring back a deeply loving quality to our life, our bodies, our relationships and to the world.’ Our recording phase was a beautiful intense time. Before recording a song we always made sure that we felt a clarity within ourselves, and joyful and harmonious with each other.

We always recorded the songs in an atmosphere that was light, joyful and with a deep connection to each other, aware of a greater plan and purpose to this music. We supported each other to be in our true power and expression; we were aware that it was about bringing this message of harmony to everyone who would ever listen to the music.

And this connection and commitment doesn´t stop when we leave the studio. We know that everything we do is part of a bigger picture, and that how we live in our daily life is significant and carries through in the quality of the music. We always share how we feel, clarify if something is in the air, and support each other with the intent of building true harmony.

The harmony between us is lived, and the connection to our lived love can be felt in the music as it is played. Music always transports the quality we live in.

All songs are written and composed by Andrea Leonhardi in collaboration with Urs Fuchs & Chris Krämer, arranged, mixed and recorded in our Studio in Germany by Urs & Chris.

The songs are inspired by the way we live and work with people, which is in turn inspired by the work of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine.
