The niece of Jamey Haddad, a world-renowned/grammy nominated percussionist, she is deeply inspired and moved by rhythm, melody and harmony. She started playing music at a very young age picking up the violin at age 7 and continuing on to play over 10 instruments including a variety of percussion.

She embraces all artistic mediums and holds music very close to her heart. The music that she channels is both personal and relatable, meditative and activating. Her intention is to be a clear reflection through A.R.T.(abstracted in real time)-to deepen into the human experience-& 2 awaken from the collective slumber. Her lyrics are often channeled in deep meditative trances she enters while playing the handpan or other instruments. Sometimes they appear as Mantras-vehicles for activation that the audience can join in and sing along, sometimes they come in as wordless sound expressions. JOCÉAN receives deep inspiration and energy from the natural environment around her. Her personal musical influences vary immensely from Paul Simon to Olafur Arnalds, Bjork to Dean Evenson. She describes her music as New-Age meets Neo-Classical using the handpan as a tool of alchemy to immerse isteners in a unique sonic world that transports and helps people to connect deeper with themselves and source.

You will often here her own field recordings from solo nature journeys incorporated into her handpan compositions. She sees this dance between the harmonics of nature and the harmonics of the handpan as a tool of remembrance for listeners. Josephine "JOCÉAN" Dow also teaches handpan & frame drum to women via zoom and in-person. Learn more about her offerings here by visiting her contact page directly.
