Tabytha Polaris is a New York-based recording artist, singer-songwriter, vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, producer, sound healer, storyteller and multidisciplinary creator whose work brings together music, imagination, symbolism, nature and personal transformation. Known for her ethereal vocal harmonies and expressive performances, she uses her voice as both an instrument and a storyteller, creating immersive artistic experiences filled with layered vocals, rich symbolism and cinematic emotion.

 

Music has been part of Tabytha's life for as long as she can remember. She describes herself as having been "born singing," and some of her earliest memories are of dressing up, performing and putting on shows. She began developing her voice through the Holy Trinity Orthodox Church choir in East Meadow, New York, where she learned complex harmonies and sang soprano, alto and tenor parts as needed. Her abilities were recognized at a young age, and she was invited to sing with the adult choir while still a child.

​

Her musical education quickly expanded beyond voice. After an elementary-school band teacher heard her perform a chorus solo, she was invited to appear as a featured singer in school band concerts. She began playing flute in fourth grade and studying flute, dance and voice privately in fifth grade. Over the years she also studied piano, classical and acoustic guitar, electric guitar and tenor saxophone, with voice, flute and guitar becoming the instruments she pursued most extensively.

 

From seventh through twelfth grade, Tabytha performed the lead role in every school musical, including Audrey in Little Shop of Horrors and Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, while continuing her development as both a vocalist and instrumentalist. She participated in All-County chorus and band, became an All-State vocalist, played flute and tenor saxophone, sang in chorus and performed as lead vocalist in jazz band. Among her most memorable early performance experiences was singing with Diana Ross at the United Nations in New York City, where the two shared a microphone, a moment captured in a photograph published in Newsday. Outside of school, she performed with local cover bands, at town fairs and festivals, and in youth musical productions, including a tour of Godspell with a local church youth group.

 

Her passion for performing led her to New York University's Tisch School of the Arts and the Lee Strasberg Theater Institute, where she studied from 1995 to 1999, majoring in Drama and minoring in Music. During her college years, she continued her vocal training through private study with vocal instructor Dr. Virginia Davidson.

​

After graduating from NYU in 1999, Tabytha spent time regrouping, traveling and working while considering the next stage of her career. In September 2001, the events of 9/11 significantly disrupted life in and around New York City and affected her plans to regularly pursue auditions and opportunities in Manhattan. She ultimately remained on Long Island, where she continued building her career as a professional vocalist and musician.

​

Her studio and session work included jingles, television, radio, commercials, voiceover work and recordings for other artists. Professional recording credits include vocals on Ultra X's Taste the X in 2003, vocals and a primary artist credit on Lordroc's E2 to Base in 2004, and background vocals on Feed'n Charlie's Downward Departure in 2007. Additional commercial work included vocals for a Zebbie Zoo PBS television song and a LongIsland.com radio commercial, both produced by Sapone Productions.

​

Her live career was equally diverse. Tabytha worked through Omni Pop Talent Agency as a lead singer in cover bands and through Hank Lane Music as a lead singer in wedding bands, while also performing with numerous original and local cover bands. She sang with The Eccentrics, an '80s dance band performing at private parties, restaurants and clubs throughout New York City, Connecticut and Long Island.

​

In 2005, she performed on New York City radio station 92.3 K-Rock on The Howard Stern Show as a backup singer accompanying Long Island comedian and musician Sal Governale, known as "Sal the Stockbroker," for Sal's comedic musical skit based on Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody."

​

After the birth of her daughter in 2007, Tabytha stepped away from the professional music path she had followed for much of her life. What initially appeared to be a departure from music eventually opened an entirely different chapter, one that would profoundly influence the artist she would later become.

​

In 2011, Tabytha discovered Reiki circles and meditation, beginning a new period of exploration within the healing arts. In 2012, she completed her Reiki certifications, including becoming a Reiki Master Teacher, while continuing her studies in meditation, crystal healing and personal development. That same year, she incorporated Hands In Harmony Inc. and began offering private Reiki sessions from her home while hosting group Reiki meditations with aromatherapy at locations throughout Long Island.

​

During these years, she continued deepening her understanding of meditation, energy work and holistic practices while gradually finding her way back to music.

​

But music never truly left her.

​

In 2015, Tabytha began returning to the Long Island music scene, performing with several local bands and reconnecting with live performance. During this period, she also began performing as part of an acoustic duo with guitarist Dave, playing popular music from across the decades at weddings, private parties, restaurants, clubs, beach huts, parks and other venues throughout Long Island.

​

In April 2019, she moved Hands In Harmony into its own holistic wellness office. As she continued studying, creating and evolving, the space eventually became what she called the Sound Temple, a place where music, meditation, energy work and sound increasingly began to intersect.

​

During the COVID-era lockdown, that intersection became transformative. Throughout 2020 and 2021, Tabytha immersed herself more deeply in the study of sound healing, frequency and sound design, earning certifications and studying with sound-healing teachers including Scarlett de la Torre of AHA Music Sanctuary, Linda Arnold of Divasonic Music Academy and Helane Anderson of Sacral Sounds. Alongside decades of vocal, flute and guitar training, her musical vocabulary expanded to include instruments such as RAV Vast drum, Native American flute, crystal and Tibetan singing bowls, gong, Shruti box, dulcimer, harp, Koshi chimes and many others. Although she is a multi-instrumentalist, singing has always remained at the center of her musical identity, with guitar, flute, harp and RAV Vast among the instruments she especially enjoys integrating into her creative work.

​

As her studies deepened, Tabytha began integrating sound-healing instruments and musical frequencies into her private Reiki sessions, allowing her background as a musician and vocalist to become increasingly intertwined with her healing work. What had once existed as separate paths in her life were beginning to merge, laying the creative foundation for what would soon become 7 Spheres of Light.

​

At the time, Tabytha had already begun moving toward an original music project, carrying with her a collection of lyrics, melodies and unfinished songs that stretched back to her college years. But she felt intuitively guided to pause the original songs and create something else first.

​

During this period of renewed creativity, Danielle, the woman behind the artist, was experiencing a growing stream of dreams, visions and creative inspiration. As music, meditation, symbolism and an emerging fantasy world began taking shape in her imagination, she felt that this new creative expression needed a name of its own. During meditation, the name Tabytha Polaris came to her. She associates Tabytha with grace and Polaris with the brightest guiding star, and the name came to represent her higher creative self, the artistic identity through which these different dimensions of her imagination could come together.

​

That project became 7 Spheres of Light.

​

Released in 2020, 7 Spheres of Light became an important bridge between Tabytha's healing work and her return to the recording studio as an original artist. She describes the album as a divinely guided project created out of love, with the intention of bringing healing, peace, balance and light into the world. Created as a multimedia journey through the seven main chakras, the project went beyond conventional spoken meditation by creating a different immersive world for each energy center. Tabytha combined her original music and narration with vocal harmonies, tonal hums, affirmations, colors, imagined environments, stories, sound-healing instruments and visual journeys.

​

Musically, the project brought together skills that had previously existed in different parts of her life: her professional background as a singer and musician, her experience with Reiki and meditation, her exploration of sound and frequency, and her growing interest in creating immersive visual and narrative worlds. Each track was intentionally designed around one of the seven main chakras, using imagery, frequencies and words associated with that energy center to guide the listener through a journey toward balance. Produced by Tabytha and recorded at Cove City Sound Studios in Glen Cove, New York, 7 Spheres of Light incorporated RAV Vast drum, dulcimer, kalimba, acoustic guitar, flute, percussion, rain stick, layered background vocals and other sonic textures, with Brendon Keenan engineering, mixing and mastering the project.

​

The experience became a turning point. Completing 7 Spheres of Light helped rebuild Tabytha's confidence in the recording studio and showed her that music, meditation, imagination and storytelling did not need to exist as separate parts of her creative life.

​

7 Spheres of Light received media coverage through radio interviews, magazines, music publications and independent media, including 90.3 WHPC-FM, Good Times Magazine, Skope Magazine and Neufutur Magazine.

​

During this same creative period, Tabytha also launched The Tabytha Polaris Show, a 64-episode podcast that ran from 2020 through 2021 and explored metaphysical, spiritual and alternative wellness subjects.

​

With renewed confidence, Tabytha returned to the original songs waiting for her.

​

Water Codes became the breakthrough. Inspired during a deeply personal period when the beaches and ocean of Long Island became a place of restoration, its melodies and lyrics began emerging as Tabytha learned to play the RAV Vast drum. The song also drew inspiration in part from Dr. Masaru Emoto's ideas surrounding water, intention and healing. Completing it opened what Tabytha described during a 2022 interview as a "floodgate of ideas," and one song began expanding into an entire elemental concept.

​

In 2022, she released Elemental Codes, a four-song EP of cinematic ethereal alternative pop exploring Water, Air, Fire and Earth. Rather than treating the elements simply as a theme, Tabytha connected each song to her own experiences, emotions, dreams, symbolism and relationship with nature, allowing each element to influence not only the lyrics but the sonic and visual world surrounding the music.

​

Water Codes explored restoration and release through water. Air Codes emerged from the experience of regaining strength after pain and visions of an ethereal, elf-like princess standing on a windy mountain above the ocean. Fire Codes explored true love, self-love and divine love through dreamlike visions of traveling through the universe with a beloved dragon protector. Earth Codes completed the cycle through grounding, gratitude and connection with Mother Earth, incorporating an organic musical palette that included acoustic guitar, flute, strings and Taiko drums.

​

Together, the songs revealed something larger about Tabytha's artistic identity. Music could become a world of its own, one in which voice, instrumentation, nature, symbolism, dreams, color, visual storytelling and personal transformation could all coexist.

​

The release led to additional radio and media attention. During promotion for Elemental Codes, Tabytha was interviewed by Rick Eberle on Rising Stars Radio on 90.3 WHPC-FM at Nassau Community College in Garden City, New York, where her music also received station rotation. The project received additional coverage across music publications and blogs, including recognition from Upcoming 100. Water Codes, the first single promoted from the EP, also appeared on Upcoming 100's Emerging 300 chart highlighting rising and independent artists.

​

During this creative period, Tabytha also recorded unique interpretations of the traditional holiday songs O Come, All Ye Faithful and Silent Night, using RAV Vast drum, harmonium and her signature layered ethereal vocal harmonies.

​

Throughout the COVID lockdown, she also hosted free weekly guided meditations on social media, reaching thousands of viewers through her live broadcasts.

​

As the world reopened, Tabytha brought her evolving sound work into live settings throughout Long Island. From 2022 through 2026, she hosted sound bath meditations at retreats, healing centers, yoga studios and other events, creating immersive experiences with voice, musical frequencies and a diverse collection of acoustic and sound-healing instruments. This live work became another expression of the intersection between her musicianship, meditation practice and years of experience in the healing arts.

​

Today, after closing the Hands In Harmony Sound Temple in 2026, Tabytha has entered another chapter of her artistic life. Private healing sessions are no longer part of her work, and regular in-person sound bath events are currently paused as she focuses her creative energy on recording, digital content and the continued expansion of her artistic world. Select sound bath events and retreats may return in the future, but the center of Tabytha Polaris today is the artist and creator.

​

Her current work encompasses original music, guided meditations and recorded sound bath experiences, while she develops Inad & Mada, an immersive fantasy audio and ebook series that expands her creative vision into fantasy storytelling. She also continues to expand the world of Elemental Codes through music videos that bring the songs' stories, symbolism and visual imagination to life. Through future books, music, videos, audio experiences and visual art, these interconnected creations continue to build the larger Tabytha Polaris universe.

​

Across every chapter of her life, from the child who was always singing to the professional vocalist, musician, healing-arts practitioner, sound explorer and recording artist, one constant has remained: her voice. She continues to use it as both an instrument and a storyteller, bringing together layered harmonies, symbolism, imagination and cinematic emotion throughout her work.

​

Together, these creations form the evolving world of Tabytha Polaris, an immersive creative universe where original music, symbolic storytelling and transformative meditative experiences awaken wonder, ignite imagination and inspire inner strength.
