Cynthia Beatty & Candice Blake and has continued ever since!

Cynthia:

singer, song writer, ukulele, guitar, keys, ocarina, percussion

Inspired by the moonlit fires and dancing drum circles enjoyed at art and music festivals, Cynthias’ whimsical chants and soulful songs bloomed when collaborating with several talented musicians… Sofeya and the Puffins came to be. She grew up singing gospel in church, playing the piano, and singing solos in an award winning high school choir. She performed on local radio in elementary school, and cultivated her vocal range of 3+ octaves singing opera in college. Writing songs began when she was gifted her first guitar as a mom of three, and has continued ever since!
