notes

California-based singer/songwriter Ariel invites her listeners on a musical journey filled with beauty, light, and hope, rooted in a passionate commitment to empowering the authentic voice within us all. With an eclectic style that combines soaring piano ballads with raw spoken-word poetry, Ariel weaves themes of love, spiritual awakening, and reverence for nature into her songs. Reminding us of our own innate wisdom and capacity to shine, Ariel is a powerful voice in the movement of personal and global transformation.

Ariel’s first solo CD, My Art is a Bird, showcases her rich song writing and stunning voice. “It’s a remarkable collection, a set of songs loaded with uncommon music.... The kind of introspective and dreamy epics that could hardly be pulled apart and disconnected from each other — a loose song cycle from a highly talented young woman with the world at her feet.” — Rob Pratt, Santa Cruz Metro.

Not only is Ariel a dynamic performer but she is a true songstress, possessing a unique gift at blending fresh poetic imagery with evocative melody. It is no wonder that she continues to win fans from around the globe in over seven years as an independent artist. Mega companies such as Starbucks and Kodak have also caught on to the power of Ariel’s message. Music from Ariel's latest CD, Behold can be heard in over 4,000 Starbucks stores as well as in the popular Kodak program PhotoShow.

Ariel is “looking beyond the girl-with-guitar mode of traditional coffeehouse folk with the notion to move into territory once gloriously occupied by such icons as Joan Armatrading and Laura Nyro by performing songs of depth and passion married to nuanced musical arrangements.” — Wallace Baine, Santa Cruz Sentinel.

At around the age of eight, Ariel started writing poetry and playing piano. At ten, she began singing on stage alongside her mom, then-A&M Children’s recording artist Linda Arnold. After nine albums recorded with her mom and concerts around the country, Ariel decided it was time to do something on her own. At the age of fourteen, she met two other young songbirds, Jemila Alldis and Natalie Bridgeman, and together they created the award-winning a cappella trio Mayim.

When Ariel is not touring, songwriting, or recording, she spends her time leading vocal workshops and singing circles, and teaching privately from her studio in the Santa Cruz Mountains. “I believe in a world where people feel free to express their voices. There is nothing more transformative than getting a room full of people to sing together. Music has the awesome ability to cut through the illusion that we are separate and to help us return once again to the heart of ourselves, each other, and life.”

Press:

"A refreshingly honest message of beauty, light and hope....Here is a voice truly destined for greatness" (Mike Splain, Metro Santa Cruz).

"Thiermann is looking beyond the girl-with-guitar mode of traditional coffeehouse folk with a notion to move into territory once gloriously occupied by such icons as Joan Armtrading and Laura Nyro by performing songs of depth and passion married to nuanced musical arrangements" (Wallace Baine, Santa Cruz Sentinel).

    Ariel, I really like your song "Into the Clouds." I'm a a private pilot and your song brings up emotion. Your voice is excellent to listen to, especially when you use it to present feelings as you are singing.

    This is an excellent CD. My father purchased the Nero software package, and made a slideshow, using 'Into the Clouds' as the background music. After hearing that song, I was addicted. I searched the lyrics and found out about ariel's CD, which I absolutely love. I am now officially her biggest fan.

    author: Gina

    Having seen Ariel sing with the a capella group Mayim and purchasing their cd's, I IMMEDIATELY rushed out to buy "My Art Is A Bird." I was not disappointed! This is one of the most wonderful albums in my collection. I listen to it frequently. Each tune is a beautifully composed gem that plants itself directly in your heart and mind and doesn't let go. The lyrics make you laugh, cry, jump, and run about. It is the perfect album for any mood or occasion. Her voice! It gives me chills whenever I heart it. Ariel cannot be compared to anyone as she is in a league all her own. For anyone who is tired of all the mindless dribble on the airwaves these days, "My Art Is A Bird" is the album for you!

  • Songs that stay with you and pull you lovingly in
    author: Natalia

    Ariel's music is addictive. The songs each have their own unique feel that make you want to drink them down and sing along. Each song is a pearl with strong melodies, soaring, georgous vocals and masterful accompaniment. You will treasure this album.

  • Sent from above.
    author: Eric Cobb

    ARIEL: My Art Is A Bird: Ariel has a voice that is sent from the angles. I could listen to her forever and now that I have her CD I can. I would love to hear her live if she is still performing anywhere. Eric

  • Pure Talent
    author: Carrie

    This CD is GREAT... Into the Clouds was featured on a software program and I just had to buy the CD - I was pleasantly surprised to find that all of the songs on the CD were equally AWESOME. Beautiful lyrics sung but a very talented lady

  • A sublime album by the sublime Ariel
    author: Jean Couture

    Ariel is known as a member of the popular acappella group MAYIM, located in the region of Bay Area / San Francisco. This cd, titled My Art Is A Bird, offers a thrilling set of songs (among which we find the amazing 'Word Play'). Her magnificent voice - often accompanied by the luscious sound of piano - is backed with aplomb by excellent musicians; sound quality is very fine and gives someone the impression that the music speaks by itself. I could write pages about this incredible record... In a few words, this cd is sublime. Read more cd reviews in Classical and Pop music at www.amazon.com (reviewed by: smillblick@hotmail.com)
