Dear Friends, Family & Kindred Spirits,

We are SIIKA (@siika.music) - a trio of California-based singer-songwriters: Bria Solman (aka Diamonde), Leanna Rachel, and Shazieh Shah. Our music is born from deep listening--to the earth, to the soul, and to each other. With a sound that blends ancient wisdom and modern elements, we weave together organic and electronic instrumentation. Our mission is to offer a sonic experience that heals, unites, and awakens.

To those who have listened to our songs, shared them with others, and supported us over the years: thank you. Your love and presence have touched us deeply and reminded us why we do this.

Over the past few years, we’ve each been on our own journeys--tending to families, following life’s callings, and navigating the expected and unexpected. Through it all, we’ve felt the pull…


It’s time to reunite, return to the music, and create what we feel the world needs right now.

So, this summer, we will reunite in Nevada City to record our second album--an offering of hymns and original songs encoded with the frequency of healing and remembrance.

Rooted in our ancestral lineages (from the Philippines, Pakistan, China, Eastern & Western Europe) this album is born from a deep desire to remember where we come from. We embrace our shared humanity, reconnecting with the earth and each other, breathing life into new stories in order to bring about solutions and peace.

In the past, we poured every bit of ourselves, reaching our financial capacity as we created, recorded and performed our music. Along the way, many of you encouraged us to start a campaign like this so that SIIKA can not only continue, but grow and reach more people.

With that in mind, we're humbly inviting your support to help bring this next chapter to life.

Included in our costs will be:

• Studio time

• Production, Mixing, Mastering

• Plugins and Tools to elevate and refine the sound alchemy

• Visual Content/Music Video(s)

• Marketing Budget to help reach a wider audience

• Transportation/Gas Money for Shazieh and Leanna to travel from Los Angeles to Nevada City (where Bria and the recording studio is located)

• Lodging for Shazieh and Leanna for the week

*** We’ve recently refined our budget, beginning with our original dream vision and then distilling it down to the bare essentials (the minimum needed to bring this prayer of an album into form). Without this level of support, we will not be able to steward the vision into form.

Any amount you can give supports the creation of music that heals, uplifts, inspires, and connects. Whether you’re able to give $5 or $500, your contribution means the world to us--and you become part of the magic we’re creating.

If you feel moved, please donate and share this campaign with your community. We’re so grateful to walk this path with you.

With love, song, and deep gratitude,


SIIKA
