Today we’d like to introduce you to Amber Bonham.
Hi Amber, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to
share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory
with our readers?
Thank you so much for having me. I’m so honored to share my story of how I became a sound healer. I was raised in Fort Worth, Texas with my four siblings. I’ve been singing for as long as I can remember. When I was younger sometimes I had a hard time making friends and music was always such a positive outlet for me. I also had a difficult home life – when I was seven years old my mother was diagnosed with a terminal illness and my father went to prison. With such radical changes in the same year I found that singing and music was a powerful way for me to self soothe.

Thank you so much for having me. I’m so honored to share my story of how I became a sound healer. I was raised in Fort Worth, Texas with my four siblings. I’ve been singing for as long as I can remember. When I was younger sometimes I had a hard time making friends and music was always such a positive outlet for me. I also had a difficult home life – when I was seven years old my mother was diagnosed with a terminal illness and my father went to prison. With such radical changes in the same year I found that singing and music was a powerful way for me to self soothe.
My mom was also a singer, so I think I picked up on her gift, constantly watching her rehearse at home. When I turned 9, I joined the church choir and I pulled a few of my girlfriends into the bathroom one night and asked them if they thought my voice sounded good. They all were very supportive and it was this moment that actually encouraged me to continue pursuing my singing. During middle school, I joined musical theater classes and participated in talent shows, and in highschool I started receiving formal training. I worked with a few private vocal coaches and was in every choir I could sign up for.
I knew that if singing could help me feel better, it could certainly help others so I plugged in deep with my church and began leading worship in the youth group. I found that singing was a way for me to creatively express myself and heal others. I’ve always really enjoyed making other people feel good and I can do that with my voice.
At age 25, I spontaneously packed up my bags and moved to Los Angeles, it just felt like the next step in my music career. I think I made a great deal of connections and learned a lot of lessons. I believe learning to embrace discomfort and failure is vital to success because it encourages us to keep going until we find what works. I’m so grateful to be in
a place in my career where I can intentionally use my voice and sound to help others heal and process in a safe container.
