Jaimi Magyari - Songwriting with a healing twist
Anishinaabe, Music composer, Multi-Musician
Growing up in a musical household, Jaimi was singing before she was talking; and it was only a matter of time before she picked up an instrument of her own. At the age of four, her father brought home a mini keyboard, and she immediately started training her ear and taught herself how to play. When she was 12, Jaimi had asked to learn how to play guitar as well. As she grew older, she taught herself how to play more instruments, and write music.
One late night out, Jaimi was at a concert with one of her friends who was going through a rough time with her partner at the time. Her friend told her that she felt like the villain because her partner kept playing the victim card all the time, and said she was tired of it and SHE wanted to be the victim for once when she ends the relationship. Jaimi thought about it, and said that she didn’t have to settle for being either the villain OR the victim, she could be her own hero. A couple days later, thinking about this conversation, Jaimi sat at her piano and wrote a song for her friend, saying exactly that. Just a few weeks later, her friend ended her relationship with her toxic partner, and is now in a better place.
This experience planted the idea that Jaimi could actually HELP people with her music in her mind, she just couldn’t quite figure out how. She and her husband attended a seminar called The Hero Round Table later that year, which included a workshop tailored towards using your talents to help people. Filling out the worksheet, an idea was formed. Jaimi was always able to write her own music to heal her own heartbreaks and celebrate her triumphs. While her friends had popular songs written by other well known artists they had connected to in their own battles, they couldn’t write their own music. But… What if Jaimi could write songs for them?
Finally, it clicked. This workshop helped form the idea that people could come to Jaimi with their own struggles to get a different perspective, to help them heal their hearts, to help them get closure, through a song tailored specifically to them. Jaimi could take their thoughts, feelings, and any phrases or questions they might have and write them a song.
It’s still new, and Jaimi is still putting everything together so she is able to make this dream into a reality, but steps are being taken every day to make this happen. There is currently a portfolio being put together while Jaimi is learning the software so there can be examples of how she uses her music to help heal the hearts of people who are struggling.
