Meet Taiina (Tolle): The Wellness Music Artist Creating Soundtracks for Stillness As the demand for wellness music, meditation music, and sleep music continues to grow, artists are finding new ways to create spaces for calm through sound. For Los Angeles-based composer and producer Tatiana Sowers, known to listeners as Taiina and to the Plenitude community as Tolle, creating music for wellness has become a natural extension of a lifelong relationship with music, curiosity, and quiet. While many listeners know Tolle for immersive ambient compositions designed for relaxation, mindfulness, meditation, and sleep, Tatiana’s creative world extends well beyond the wellness space. She is also an accomplished producer, composer, and recording artist under her own project, Taiina. Like many children growing up in Russia, Tatiana began studying piano at an early age. At first, practice felt more like an obligation than inspiration. Everything changed when she found herself alone at the piano, away from lessons and expectations. “I remember just doodling on the piano and coming up with melodies I liked,” she says. “Those were my first moments of excitement and of finding my own inspiration and footing in music outside of school.” Those quiet moments of exploration became the foundation for a career built on curiosity, emotion, and sound design. “A friend asked me to create music for his meditations, and that started my fascination with this world.” Already someone who values meditation and intentionally seeks moments of calm throughout her day, composing music for meditation felt like a natural creative path. What started as a single collaboration soon evolved into a deeper exploration of ambient sound, mindfulness, and restorative listening. Today, the techniques she developed while composing meditation music continue to influence every aspect of her work, whether she’s producing for other artists, composing for film and television, or writing under her Taiina project. For Tatiana, inspiration rarely arrives in predictable ways. Nature is an endless source of ideas, but so are everyday sounds that many people overlook. A melody playing in the distance, the rhythm of city life, or even traffic outside her Los Angeles home can unexpectedly become the spark for a new composition. One particularly memorable discovery came during a sound bath. She heard a practitioner playing two Koshi bells simultaneously, creating shimmering layers of overtones that felt almost endless. “I felt like I could hear swarms of music and harmonies,” she recalls. “I’ve been using them in my music ever since.” It’s this openness to listening that gives her ambient wellness music its organic, evolving quality. Alongside her synthesizers, pedals, and digital instruments sits an ancient folk instrument called the Gusli, often compared to a miniature harp. Rather than relying on one signature sound, she lets each project determine its own sonic palette. “I like coming up with a theme for the album I’m creating and gravitating toward whichever instruments or sounds feel inspiring at that moment.” Whether those sounds originate from acoustic instruments, software synthesizers, or field recordings, they become part of immersive compositions designed to help listeners slow down, relax, and reconnect. Tatiana’s musical influences span centuries and genres alike. Artists including Radiohead, Nina Simone, Jeff Buckley, Chopin, Rachmaninov, and Debussy have all helped shape her artistic voice. That broad musical foundation allows her to create ambient music and wellness soundscapes that feel both emotionally expressive and harmonically rich. While Taiina explores a wide range of musical ideas, Tolle has become a space dedicated to studying emotion through sound. Each release begins with a central concept. One album explored the relationship between analog synthesizers and natural environments. That project eventually inspired a new creative direction centered around sunset. “The kind of music you’d listen to as the world is quieting down, or as you’re falling asleep,” Tatiana explains. “There’s a very specific feeling and visual that goes with that time of day, and Tolle is where I get to explore all of that and put it into sound.” The result is music designed to accompany evening routines, mindfulness practices, relaxation, and restful sleep—inviting listeners into moments of stillness at the end of the day. Now based in Los Angeles, Tatiana originally studied voice before expanding into songwriting, composition, production, and sound design. Outside the studio, she’s a mom, a pet owner, and someone who continues to find wonder in music’s ability to transform everyday moments. “I’m very grateful for music,” she says. “It’s been the one constant that’s given me inspiration, energy, and wonder.” Whether you’re looking for calming background music while you work, music for meditation, or peaceful sounds to help you fall asleep, Tolle’s growing catalog reflects the heart of what wellness music can be: intentional, immersive, and deeply human.

Pablo Almagro Garcia, also known by his artist name, Dairu, is a self-taught producer who began writing and producing music fourteen years ago in a small, five-foot-wide storage room. Deeply influenced by electronic dance music (EDM) and pop—as well as their many subgenres—his early inspirations ranged from Avicii, Skrillex, and David Guetta to artists like Drake, Justin Bieber, and The Weeknd. In recent years, his sound has evolved toward chill, lo-fi, house, and wellness music. “I liked it because I had been making really heavy electronic music, and at that point in my life I needed to slow things down,” he shares. “When I tried making chill house, lo-fi, and similar styles, I felt more at ease while producing and composing, and I grew to like it more and more.” He continued to find inspiration in electronic music, with artists like Porter Robinson, creating similar melodies and sounds more suited to Chill and Lo-Fi. His production process is simple and holistic. “I usually start by creating some chords until I like the vibe they give off, and with that foundation, I build the beats… I always try out experimental things, like adding background harmonics with reverb or delay—things you can hear but aren’t too obvious. I’m always mixing as I go because I like to hear how it would sound.” The essence of Dairu is reflected in his process: chill house music layered with soft electronic sounds—music that listeners can enjoy at any time or any space, always offering a sound that’s both uplifting and relaxing. When he’s not making music, you can find him playing soccer, hanging out with friends, traveling and enjoying the present moment.

Sound healing practitioner Ramona Kelly first encountered the power of vibration during her Reiki training in Italy, an experience that would reshape the direction of her work. During one of these sessions, sound was introduced as part of the energetic practice. What she felt in that moment was immediate and deeply physical. “I didn’t just hear the sound — I felt it in my heart,” she describes. The sensation, she says, was like her chest opening, as though something ancient had awakened within her. This experience gradually became a guiding force in her healing practice. At the center of her work is a practice she calls Divine Alignment, a one-on-one experience that blends Reiki, sound, subtle touch, and intention. Rather than forcing change, the session invites the body to gently recalibrate itself. Using tuning forks, crystal bowls, Tibetan bowls, and her own voice, she creates layers of vibration designed to soften tension and restore energetic flow. To Ramona, everything carries a frequency — including the human body. When stress, tension, or emotional strain disrupts that natural rhythm, imbalances can occur. “When frequency shifts,” she explains, “everything shifts.” Clients often describe the experience as deeply calming, with an almost indescribable feeling of quiet in the mind, a softening of anxiety, and a new sense of openness in the heart. Some notice reduced pain, improved mobility, or a feeling of lightness. Unlike traditional sound baths, which are often experienced in groups, Divine Alignment is highly personal. No two sessions are ever the same, as the body reveals its own path back to balance. She describes the process as beginning with “reading” the body’s areas of tension or imbalance, usually before the client even speaks, by watching the way a person moves around the room. Her work continues with guiding sound and energy where it is most needed, even when clients themselves may not know where the blockages lie. For her, alignment ultimately means remembering the connection between body, mind, and spirit. Through sound and vibration, she hopes to help people rediscover that natural balance. In a world filled with constant noise and movement, practices like sound healing offer a different kind of listening, one that invites the body to slow down and return to its own quiet harmony. You can book your Divine Alignment session with Ramona at Tikkun Holistic Spa in Santa Monica, California. You can also listen to Plenitude Music Group’s exclusive Spa and Meditation playlists on Spotify, to bring a piece of sound healing wherever you are. Plenitude Spa Meditation Moment At Tikkun Spa, you’ll hear music from Pandora’s popular Spa station, which we are proud to say features several Plenitude Music Group artists.

Behind the wellness artist Olenq is producer Antoni Yammin, a Swedish musician with over fifteen years of experience creating innovative sound across genres. While Antoni also releases house music beyond the wellness space, Olenq reflects a more intuitive and grounding expression of his artistry. Each composition is guided by feeling rather than formula, to create space for stillness and meaningful reflection. The journey of Olenq began when Antoni was invited to compose music for his brother’s hotel spa, planting the seed for what would become a new creative path. What started as a simple act of collaboration soon evolved into a new far-reaching extension of his creativity. Today, Olenq’s tranquil soundscapes offer listeners an immersive experience designed to soothe the mind, center the body, and support moments of rest and renewal.

This holiday season, in the spirit of giving, Plenitude Music Group is proud to share that we’ve donated a portion of the revenue earned from our listeners to Active Minds and the National Park Foundation. As a wellness-focused music label, our mission has always been rooted in supporting mental, emotional, and environmental well-being—and these organizations deeply reflect the values at the heart of everything we do. Active Minds works to advance mental health awareness, education, and advocacy, particularly for young people, helping create communities where individuals feel supported, understood, and empowered to seek help when they need it. In parallel, our donation to the National Park Foundation supports the preservation and protection of the natural spaces that inspire so much of our music. While our nature sounds and ambient compositions can transport listeners to peaceful landscapes, we know that nothing compares to experiencing the real thing. These funds go toward conserving national parks, maintaining trails and ecosystems, and ensuring these places remain accessible and protected for future generations. Giving back in this way allows our listeners’ support to extend beyond sound and into meaningful, lasting impact. Happy Holidays!

The art of creating wellness music has always been in service of helping others. There are no arena tours, million-dollar budget music videos or overpriced merchandise sold on pop up tables. The focus is instead on the feelings of wellbeing they evoke in the listener, rather than the artist themselves. But, sometimes, these artists deserve a few moments in the spotlight. In a world increasingly dominated by the question, “Is this AI?” we believe in proving to our listeners that there are, in fact, real humans behind the music they enjoy. Introducing Big Sky Blue, a Los Angeles based wellness music duo formed by producers Bailey Lindley and Will Van Zandt. Known for creating immersive, atmospheric soundscapes designed for sleep, meditation, and inner calm, Lindley and Van Zandt have published nine albums since they joined Plenitude Music Group in 2024. You can stream all of their music today (or before you go to sleep tonight) on Apple Music, Spotify, and Amazon Music.
