Flying Dog Music
Music has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. When I was five, my mother began teaching me to harmonize and to recognize classical composers by ear. I’ve been singing, writing, playing, and performing ever since.
My music is rooted in words and story. Drawing from country, pop, folk, rock, blues, and jazz, I let each song find the musical language that best serves what it has to say.
Underlying it all is the same spirit of inquiry that runs through the rest of my life—a search for love, freedom, beauty, connection, and the courage to follow your own way.

Heart Lightning
A Musical Antidote to Troubling Times
Heart Lightning took me somewhere different from my singer-songwriter roots.
The music began while I was deeply immersed in the meditative practices of a silent retreat. Melodies started arriving, eventually becoming an album of prosperity chants inspired by the Sufi tradition.
Interweaving three-part vocals with guitar, flute, and percussion, Heart Lightning has a serene, hypnotic quality. The chants invite contemplation of qualities such as compassion, mercy, generosity, kindness, awe, and our capacity to move through what stands in our way.
It can be experienced as a spiritual practice, a meditation, or simply music for creating a peaceful space.
“When we listened to Heart Lightning by Azaima Anderson, the decision was really easy to make, as we were so moved by the beauty and tranquillity of the music on this album. We found it uplifting and inspiring.”
