Chelsea Kirby

Musician / Producer / Creative Coach

Los Angeles

Arula is a vocalist, electronic music producer, DJ, creative coach, music mentor & sound healing facilitator. She views music & movement as sacred expressions of a universal language; a language that unites and empowers people from all backgrounds.

As a musician and movement artist she values expression as a path to awakening; a gateway to exploring the different parts of ourselves, the light & the shadow, exploring duality as a path to unity.

Her songs are encoded in prayers for the earth and for humanity. Themes of sacred sensuality, earth reverence, collective healing, soil regeneration, and divine feminine awakening linger in her lyrics. Her work is often inspired by our collective narrative as well as her own personal journey of connecting deeper to one’s truest self by dropping the false stories that we’ve been told; that by releasing our conditioning we step into a greater place of potential & activation.

As a self-described “Rising-Gemini with ADHD” she is lover of many varieties of music & interplays with genres from Downtempo, Tantric Pop, and Deep House to Mystical Bass.

While currently putting the final touches on her live set, she also has an unstoppable affection for Deep Sultry House music which she plays for hybrid DJ sets solo and with her side project, her deepening affection for the genre has led her to performing at festivals and venues opening for legends like Acid Pauli, Goldcap, Marques Wyatt, and more.

Mystifying to categorize, her music is often described as deep, sultry, and sacred. Her voice a bridge to ethereal realms, unparalleled but reminiscent of Kate Bush, FKA Twigs, & Deya Dova.

Arula has performed & facilitated at a multitude of venues & festivals (Oregon Eclipse, Burning Man, Lightning in a Bottle, Serenity) and has co-produced experiential events such as Sensual (NOVA/Heather Christie), Pulse (Mezzanine SF/Jeremy Falk Yoga), Moon Medicine & more. She has been in artist residency at Zunya and supported the week long experiential event Enamo Arte & Parousia.

She has collaborated with various musicians & producers including Alexis Flow, Cheyenne Sapphire, David Starfire, DrumSpyder, Dummy Splash, Ejé, Evan Hatfield, Fraktal, Geometrae, Heather Christie, Israel Vich, Jef Stott, Kompass, Lemurian, Marsig, Quiet Son, Rafaëlle Cohen, Shelajit, Vitamindevo and others.

She is the founder of Urban Mystic Movement & Sound and Empowered Expression and currently resides between LA & San Francisco where she creates music, facilitates monthly sound meditation gatherings, and produces events focused on vocal expression, somatic movement, live music, and sensuality.
