Matthew Mayer of the Going Solo Podcast spends time with Steve Halpern, a GRAMMY® nominated composer, recording artist and researcher.
The Los Angeles Times acknowledges Steven Halpern as “A founding father of New Age music” who launched a “Quiet Revolution” in modern instrumental music that focused more on creating harmony, coherence and balance rather than as mere entertainment. His unique orchestration of tone, time, space and frequency help explain why people hear the music with fresh ears for years and years.
Steven's music career spans over 40 years, and has been a leading study in the effects of music on the body, mind, and soul.
Mayer speaks with Steven about his start as a Jazz Trumpet aficionado, and how he evolved from Jazz player to moving to the West Coast where he discovered a new path in his music career.

More About Steven Halpern:
Through his landmark books, dozens of articles in all the major New Age magazines and in hundreds of TV, radio and print interviews, Halpern introduced the tenets of sound healing to the fields of holistic/complementary medicine, massage therapy and yoga as well as to millions of individuals worldwide. His music is heard frequently on all major streaming platforms and enjoyed by new generations of fans as well as his long-term listeners.
Before discovering his calling as a sound healer and recording artist, Steven followed his bliss as a jazz rock trumpet player, inspired by the music of John Coltrane, Miles Davis and Jimi Hendrix. His musical and spiritual journey was accelerated by his mentors at the University of Buffalo (1965-1969), including master poets Robert Creeley, Jack Clarke and Albert Glover. His recordings continue to be guided by a mindful, improvisational approach which builds on jazz and poetic sensibilities, in which the music flows through him.
With no business training and very little money, he launched his indie record label in 1975, in response to the many requests from attendees at his concerts and workshops at the world famous Esalen Institute, Unity Churches, and many other New Thought organizations in the early 1970s.
As the entrepreneurial president of the first independent New Age record label, he created a national alternative distribution network to bring his music, and then other artists, like Paul Horn and Iasos, to the world. His albums were the first of their kind to be sold in metaphysical bookstores, health food stores, and then Tower Records and other mainstream music stores.

"In the nearly 45 years of professional life and in all the myriad interviews I've given, few have been as engaging and intelligent as the interview I recently had with Matthew Mayer. You can't play the interview game well unless someone on the other side of the net is keeping you involved and even gracefully taking you into territory that may be new to you. That you can experience your own revelation in this process is rarer still. It's a remarkable talent...and Matthew is abundantly blessed with it. " - Will Ackerman
