Episode 15 - “Blue” - Sonic Healing & Sacred Soundscapes with Jesse Cale

In this soulful episode of The Soulful Soundtrack, I sit down with Jesse Cale — a multi-talented artist, poet, composer, and sound bath pioneer whose work spans hip-hop gold records, international poetry tours, and hosting the world’s largest sound bath with over 900 people. We dive into the powerful intersection of music, healing, and community. Jesse shares his journey from growing up in a strict Christian household—where synths became his secret language of freedom—to how music helped him get sober, shed 50 pounds, and discover his true purpose. Along the way, we explore his unique blend of sound design and woodwind magic, and yes, there’s a surprising shoutout to Justin Bieber’s role in his transformation. Plus, get ready for a mini sonic nostalgia party featuring Madonna, Joy Electric, and a sprinkle of Sigur Rós. This episode is an invitation to slow down, tune in, and let sound move through you — a soulful journey you won’t want to miss.
