Marlaina wrote her first contemporary classical piece at age 13, released her first self-produced album at age 23 and had plans to go into film scoring, but health and life had other plans. When the time was right, she re-embraced music and under the name WillowWynd,

 released 21 albums and 12 singles in the genres of

contemporary classical piano,

world/new age, and ambient vocals.

Her diverse work has been featured in award-winning short films by Tara Gadomski, art installations, self-help courses, meditation videos,

and small business promos. She composes, produces, arranges,

and records her music and creates her own music videos. On her recordings she plays piano, keyboards, guitar and bowed acoustic guitar, percussion, and also layers her own vocals. 

She opts out of using and distributing her music on popular platforms, refusing to participate in the greed machine that allows an artist to profit only $46 per 10,000 streams. Listen to or purchase her music available exclusively through Bandcamp.
