"I believe that music is the solution to all of the problems of mankind." Songwriter and composer Cindy (Cynthia) Jordan is dedicated to her vision of bringing awareness to the power of music and she is right on track. In 1983, every country radio station and honky-tonk was playing, Jose Cuervo you are a friend of mine.” This is the first song this California surfer girl ever wrote! The song Jose Cuervo went on to be the 1983 Country Music song of the year in Billboard Magazine. That same year Sales for Jose Cuervo tequila increased by the millions. “That’s the power of music.” In 1985 Cindy began writing songs for children and formed a children’s choir she called Kids for Kids. The choir sang at churches, hospitals and festivals in the spirit of friendship. Many times they would pass a basket and raise money for St. Jude’s Hospital. Today Kids for Kids program is a 501c3 known as Children for a Peaceful World. In 1997 Cindy changed her genre again to beautiful, piano compositions under the name of Cynthia. With the release of her music, Cindy began receiving letters from all over the world: “We use your music to relieve our little girl’s migraine headaches.” “My aunt had a more speedy recovery from her heart surgery.” “I had my first full night’s sleep in two years!” “We played your Celtic CD when we buried our son and it brought us great comfort.” Cindy began doing research on the power of music and was excited to find all kinds of benefits music can bring. Cynthia’s inspirational book Butterfly Moments tells about her musical journey from Jose Cuervo to composing the Peaceful Journey series. She is currently performing and giving her fun, inspirational keynote to audiences nationwide. Her new book, Unlocking the Power of Music will be released in May 2007. Cindy currently resides in San Angelo, Texas. Her program “Ahhh Radio” airs every evening from 9 to 11 on KCSA, 95.7 “We play therapeutic music with the intention of helping people relax, help children wind down and go to sleep, and students retain more of what they read. Music is energy and the right kind of music promotes a healthy community.” It is the most listened to radio show in the area. Her goal is to syndicate nation wide. “If the power of music works anywhere, it can work everywhere.” Read more on Last.fm.
