About Me |
|
| Durga McBroom emerged a fully -formed Goddess in Los Angeles, CA. She was a
voracious reader from the age of 2 1/2, hence she read everything her physician
parents had, from books on metaphysics and psychology to "The Sensuous
Woman" (she had read 95% of her school's library by 6th grade). That marks
the beginning of her love affair with the written word, not to mention that when
other little girls her age were listening to The Osmonds, she was submerging
herself in the music and lyrics of Joni Mitchell.
Having a rather flamboyant nature, Durga attended U.C.L.A. as a Theatre Arts
Major, only leaving to play a featured role in the classic hit film
"Flashdance". Other films and television roles followed, and when she
got tired of playing hookers, Durga tackled the music business. Her first tour
was with the legendary band Pink Floyd. It was the first of 3 world tours with
them, as well as one solo tour with David Gilmour. Because of her work with the
band, Durga moved to London, where she formed her own band Blue Pearl. Her first
single, "Naked in the Rain" reached ..4 on the British Pop chart, ..2 on
the Austrian Pop chart, and in the top 20 in almost every other European
chart.In between tours Durga would return to L.A. to work at her mother's side as
a medical assistant and intuitive healer.Blue Pearl went on to have 3 more chart-topping singles, and Durga began writing
poetry as well as her lyrics.
Durga moved back stateside in 1994, first to Miami, and then back to her
beloved L.A. in 1997. She has written an entire book of poems called "Gods
and Lovers", and continues to write to maintain her sanity.
In Jan. 2005, Durga went to get her Massage Practitioner Certification. She moved to Hawaii to go to the next level in her spiritual developement, and to share her gifts with the Hawaiian people. Plus, hey - it's Hawaii!While basking in the sun and aloha, Durga found something she's been searching for her whole life . . . her soulmate and future husband. He grabbed her by her considerably long hair, and dragged her off into the wild, wooly woods of Big Sur, CA. They are colder, but much happier.Look for more solo performing in the in the near future - we'll keep ya posted! You are Wonder Woman Wonder Woman |
