“From my childhood, I have always been closely connected to nature, music, and the pursuit of freedom. My fascination with Native American culture began early and has never left me. I hold a deep respect for the rhythm of nature and the dignity of every human being. These values resonate strongly with Native American philosophy.
In my quest to understand the world of the Native Americans and to feel their music deep within my soul, I delved into their way of life, beliefs, legends, and rituals. Their profound connection to Mother Nature and their musical expression left a lasting impression on me.
It is a great honor to have received the name Wolfsheart during a special ceremony in Indian country. The wolf is a profound source of inspiration for me – a social, mystical creature that
embodies the primal form of freedom. In Native American cultures, the wolf is revered as a wise teacher and guide, connected to the powers of the moon. As a protector and supernatural being, it reminds us to follow our instincts and keep the spirit alive.
I have long been fascinated by the various instruments of the ancient cultures of the Americas, especially the Native American Flute. With a tradition dating back over 2,500 years, this instrument connects the power of nature, the tree, the wind, as well as the power of breath and heart. Through it, I have found a way to express my deepest emotions.
Although the visions and rituals of Native Americans may seem foreign to us, their wisdom, beauty, and ancient knowledge speak a universal language. The harmonious relationship between individuals and nature offers inspiration for us all. Mitakuye Oyasin.”
