Come and record your songs with Edwin and become a part of the momentum to bring music to the world that shows who we really are.
Recording is like being under the microscope, and is an advanced technique in singing and learning to hold the space of a song from beginning to end. We are doing it the way it used to be done in the studio – live from start to finish.
Putting your songs down is also a part of becoming a representative of Real People Music, and the start of training to become a teacher of Edwin’s ‘Sovereign Singing’.
The uniqueness of our approach to capturing your songs is that we place no agenda on your music. We are not trying to make a hit record. There is no preconceived idea or outcome in terms of style. We are not trying to create Rock, Country, Healing, New Age, or Inspirational Music.
We provide the structure that enables your natural voice to fly free and find it’s own style. Any preconceived agenda can taint the purity of the music and limit the full expression of the voice.
With all the advertising, hype, politics, and hidden agendas that we are bombarded with, the time has come to hear real sounds, pure voices, deep honesty and beautiful songs.

I have been giving this six-day exclusive course since 1991 at Middle Beach Lodge, in Tofino, BC, Canada. The environment in Tofino is one of the purest in the world – a world famous ecological reserve with old growth rainforest, trails, eagles, ocean beaches, and whales. Everyone has an ocean view private room. Our meeting room looks over a stunning view of the ocean and there is a large river rock fireplace where we create blazing fires in the evening. We book the entire lodge so that we are completely and utterly private and in our own world, the world of sound, singing, and song.
OK now that you are there, joining no more than 15 other folk from near and far, it’s time to jump in!
Plato said, “music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination………..it is the essence of order and leads to all that is good.”
Music is the language of the body, mind, and soul. Come and revive the natural sounds of your pure voice, the lost language of the soul. From these sounds will come the poetry and songs of truth to inspire, guide, and enlighten us all. By the end of the course you will have written many poems and many songs, put to your own melodies. You will hear, recognize, and appreciate the intrinsic beauty and power of the songs created in this way.
Outrageous fun is guaranteed, and meeting new friends who you will remember for a lifetime has been a consistent treasure for the participants.
It is commonly held that public speaking holds the greatest fear for most people. We disagree! It’s public singing – in fact, it’s any singing that causes most people to tremble with fear. Actually, your true voice is dying to be expressed, longing to be heard and to become a part of your life.
“Thunder comes resounding out of the earth: the image of enthusiasm.
Thus the ancient Kings made music in order to honor merit
And offered it with splendor to the supreme Deity,
Inviting their ancestors to be present.” – I Ching
I have been evolving my Sovereign Singing work over 30 years to a level of mastery that has attracted many people from all over the globe. In fact it was Anthony Robbins who suggested I call this technology Sovereign Singing, because it brings out the voice of the soul, the Sovereign Voice: a voice that can express and integrate the highest part of ourselves.
Through many processes I have developed over the years, you will find your authentic voice, which means not only your physical voice, but also includes the stories and songs that are yours alone. Even if you have lots of experience as a singer, you will see yourself and your voice in a new light.
If you think you cannot sing, and you think this course is not for you, you couldn’t be more wrong! The only reason we have stopped singing together, or think we cannot sing is social conditioning. You will loose this conditioning within a day, and realize how good it feels to sing together, and you’ll wonder why we stopped. You will experience an intense level of clarity, which will illuminate the different areas of your life – relationships, career, and most importantly, what your life’s song is all about. From then on a new world will open up that is so rich it will blow you away more and more each and every day you sing your songs.

Anyone who has come to any of Edwin’s events knows there is no one like Edwin anywhere! He has always walked his own path far away from the musical conventions of society. Over the past 25 years he has followed this road less travelled and rediscovered the principles and power of sound and song. From his out-of-the-box premise that anyone can sing he has developed ‘Sovereign Singing’, the modern miracle of voice development.
He has appeared live in front of huge audiences and repeatedly astounded them with the speed and magic of watching someone’s voice change within seconds and minutes. Everywhere he goes all over the world, he blows people away with his demonstrations. He opens people’s minds to the potential of music in their own lives and music’s potential to bring everyone together.
Leading international speakers use Edwin to augment their events, including Tony Robbins, Mark Victor Hansen, James Skinner and T. Harv Eker. Companies large and small use Edwin to bring life and energy to the work place, to enliven creativity, to awaken natural teamwork, and to bring fun and mutual appreciation to everyone.
With up to 40 nations represented at some of the events, Edwin proves that music is the universal language through which all people can communicate by getting everyone singing together in minutes.
Edwin has been deeply involved in music all his life. As a young boy in a choir school in England he sang Gregorian chants. In Canada as young man in high school he belonged to the Shockers, a band that became very well known, winning the PNE Battle of the Bands, playing on national TV, and opening for such acts as Billy Preston and the Everly Brothers.
When the band broke up, Edwin created a solo career out of which came the album ‘Dawning Day, ’ and several hit singles in Canada, including ‘Come and See My Man, ’ which made the billboard top 10.
Edwin has always been a singer, but he began to be curious about the voice – why it would be dependable one day and not the next. It was this curiosity that led him in 1982 to the innovative opera-trained teacher Trudy Buckler, who opened his eyes to the physicality of sound production. After studying with her for some time he began to teach his own personal clients.
Next, Edwin studied Kinesiology through Brain Gym creator Paul Dennison. Integrating Kinesiology with his new teaching techniques created even more amazing results. It was around this time, in 1986, that Edwin realized he could teach anyone to sing.
Edwin created seminars based on his new processes. In 1989 he met Tony Robbins. Tony was so impressed with Edwin’s abilities, he asked Edwin to teach at his first Life Mastery Course.
Edwin continues to teach at all Anthony Robin’s Life Mastery Courses. He also works with Tony’s Exclusive Platinum Group.
“Because singing brings everyone together, makes them HAPPIER, & generates ENERGY. Edwin is THE BEST IN THE WORLD at getting people to sing INSTANTLY naturally.“ – Anthony Robbins
In 1991 Edwin was introduced to a fascinating Archetype Theory, and subsequently developed a profound process. With this remaining piece Edwin, with his wife Cheryl, created ‘Sovereign Singing’ and inaugurated ‘Your Voice Is The Messenger of Your Soul’, a flagship six-day event in Tofino, BC. This world class intensive is regarded as one of the most life changing experiences offered anywhere in the world.
Real People Music is the culmination of 30+ years of experience. The uniqueness of Edwin’s approach has touched tens of thousands of people, changing voices and lives. Edwin continues to travel the globe and teach, and is creating a training course to empower others to share the gift of music with the world. Edwin currently lives in Victoria, BC with his wife and 2 sons.
Join us for one very full day away from all distractions. We start early and go full out all day, until the final notes are sung well into the evening.
Our method of Sovereign Singing returns to you the power of your voice. The profound value of music in your life will be reawakened. Not through a set of headphones, not by the imitation of the latest and greatest singers, but by yourself live and in person.
Whoever you may be, your voice holds the resonance of your unique qualities. I have never heard two voices the same.
Did you realize there are sounds we make when we sing that we cannot make when we speak? These sounds resonate and communicate at a profound level. This is the power of music, and everyone knows how music can transport you, influence you, and help you to feel.
Is it free and pure or could it be limited by social conditioning? How suppressed is your voice? Does your voice express who you really are, fully express your soul?
I have noticed over the past 25 years that most people have very little life energy in their voice. Think of how much sound babies make with their tiny little bodies!
Sovereign Singing will change all that in a day. Energy levels will dramatically increase as we stop all the talk and create sound and music and sing together.
I created this event to be a weekend in one full-on day to make it accessible to more people. Plan to stay late, you won’t regret it!
