Llewellyn Biography
Like many of his New World Music label-mates, New Age artist Llewellan's compositions come from a deeply personal connection to music rather than formal or traditional study. Claiming a blood line that can be traced to the last native Prince of Whales (from whom he took his name) Llewellan's connection to his Celtic heritage informs and inspires both his spiritual and musical path. Since childhood, composition came to him easily, imagining melodies far earlier than most of his peers. With a keen interest in spirituality and healing practices, Llewellan and his music found support and an eager audience through the New World Music record label. Over the course of his prolific career he has recorded better than fifty albums, both designed for therapeutic purposes and mainstream audiences. His album Reiki, written in collaboration with reiki healing specialist Tina Allison, became one of the label's top selling records. Llewellan's mainstream release Ghosts, followed by Journey to the Temple could be found on new age charts worldwide. Inspired by traditional Celtic folklore and spirituality, Llewellan has composed a large body of work in celebration of Druidic concepts, including Mysts of Avalon, Lady of the Lake and Celtic Legend. Llewellan continues to work both as a recording artist and Reiki/Crystal healing practitioner. ~ Evan C. Gutierrez, All Music Guide
