Singer/songwriter and sacred sound designer, Sulis Hana, aka JenJen, makes music to lift you out of the ordinary, into heavenly realms, calling on you to open your heart to the song of Mother Earth and connect with the Divine presence in the stillness within.

She weaves soundscapes of ethnic percussion, haunting strings, crystal singing bowls, sounds of nature and her signature, eclectic vocals. 

Marrying the essence of traditional English folk music with Native American sounds and percussion, Sulis makes music for meditation and relaxation, for healing and therapy, for ceremony and ritual, for inner transformation and the ecstatic upliftment of your inner muse. 

Moving from England to Toronto, Canada at the tender age of 7, Sulis has always had a deep affinity with Native American culture and Indigenous wisdom, an ancient connection that reflects in her ethereal, shamanic soundscapes and healing music.

The turning point in her music and the release of the full expression of her voice, came after Sulis lost the love of her life and father of her two children in 2009. Deeply touched by the suicide of her beloved, followed by the loss of many young people whom she had known and loved, her music took on the themes of grief, loss and broken dreams, resulting in the making of her first album. Enter, a melancholic lament to her beloved, was recorded in Stanley Jordans studio in Sedona and Mick Fleetwood’s in Maui.  

After an intensely cathartic and intimate period of deep grieving, Sulis became aware that she was no longer grieving the loss of her beloved, she was grieving the abandonment of herself, the loss of her voice, from lifetimes of disempowerment. 

Pursuing a deep fascination into the healing powers of the voice and therapeutic, sacred sound, Sulis found solace in the passionate expression of her grief. She learned to use her voice in profound ways, giving voice to unseen aspects within her that had long been buried ~ Channeling the Voices of the Earth, her Power Animals, Spirit guides, Divine Realms, Angelic Realms, and the Sacred Singer within her. 

Her second album was born from her recovery, inspired by healing journeys to the sacred lands of Bali, Thailand and Hawaii. Crystal Ocean is dedicated to the waters of Mother Earth, a heartfelt dedication to all those who have taken their own lives. The album shines a glimmer of light and hope in the midst of darkness, a reminder that we weave an eternal, ebb and flow with our soul.

Crystal Ocean was recorded in DBs studios in Bristol and her home studio in SW England, and features her wonderful Dad, Frank Wilson on harmonica. 

Sulis writes and sings songs gifted to her by the Goddess Isis. She channels them through her sacred Persian songstress Lenora.

Her etheral, otherworldly soundscapes invite you to open your heart, connect deeply with your soul and reignite the fires of passion. Awaken to the essence of who you truly are and embrace the Divine within.

All you have been longing for

Is just a breath away.

Sulis has performed live around the world for over 25 years ~ playing gigs at venues and festivals, including Sanctum in Bristol, UK, 2015, (with Theaster Gates, Chicago).
