Hello! My name is Nicholas, and I’m a lifelong musician, artist, and sound therapist. I founded 1:11 Sound Healing as a bridge—a way to share the profound, practical benefits of sound with the world. I truly believe that therapeutic sound is for everyone, and we need it now more than ever.

My greatest ambition in life is to be like the "Bob Ross of therapeutic sound".  I've tapped into a beautiful stream of healing and creative inspiration through sound and song, and I want to share it so that more people can enjoy the benefits.

The most effective healing practices are often the simplest. My mission is to teach you the essentials of 'sonic hygiene'—the daily practices of sound therapy that act like flossing or brushing for your nervous system. These are tools you can carry anywhere to restore peace and stability in an instant.

With over a decade of experience at the intersection of the music & wellness industries—I’ve experienced firsthand how music and sound can improve mental health, heal a burnt out nervous system, and help us transform our emotional wounds and traumas.  

I specialize in songwriting & medicine songs, having mastered the art of writing lyrics and composing.  My expertise comes from over 2 decades of songwriting, performing, studying, and applying a healing framework to the craft of songwriting. 

I'm not some guru or spiritual teacher.  I'm a student of vibration and I am here to be of service to your journey. Please let me know how I can support!

Peace, Nicholas Penn

 

 

 

 

“Nicholas Penn is captivatingly modest. His music marries quietly masterful guitar playing with wistful narratives that question the state of our interior and exterior worlds — all the while remaining wryly hopeful. His music is disarming… and that’s not an accident. He’d like to see less fighting and more love in the world. His confident music inspires a shred of hope that things could turn out that way.” - 88.1 FM WRFL

 

“Nicholas is a gem. He was professional and positive in his communication from the point when he first reached out to our studio to finish. It's obvious that Nicholas has a deep passion for and connection with yoga and serving students through his music. Nicholas performed at three different style of classes from a vinyasa flow to a restorative yin. He knew just what to play for the energy of the class and the positive feedback from our students was abundant. Nicholas is humble, talented, kind and respectful. We can't wait to have him back at the studio and would recommend him for other studios or larger events. Thanks Nicholas and we wish you much success!”

"Nicholas is a delight! He's extremely knowledgeable about sound, loves to share what he knows to help members grow and learn, and teaches in a way that's easy to understand and absorb. Well worth the investment."

"Nicholas is a kind & hilarious guide to the premise that something so effective and delightful could be so simple and available. I'm so grateful to have benefited from practicing with others and getting back into a groove of using my voice more freely and sillily. Nicholas holds space with patience, vulnerability, and non-seriousness. I appreciate the absence of cultural co-opting and regalia, while still bringing a strong container for the intention."

"Nicholas helped me feel like an artist again! He reminded me why I sang in the first place. I had been in a rut for a few months, feeling like my voice had no value. After meeting with Nick I was inspired to not only start singing again, but pick up an instrument and start writing too. I cannot recommend Nick enough. He is amazing."

– Clark Davis, Miss Kentucky 2015

“Nicholas has such a wonderful way of relating to people. When I took just one session with him I left with the tools to naturally and quickly harmonize my body and mind, allowing me to move through uncomfrotable feelings. I also learned intuitive ways of using my voice to find a pitch that resonates with how I'm feeling in the moment. He has great skill and enthusiasm, I highly recommend him.”

– Alexandria

"Nicholas did an in-home sound healing workshop for our family and it was amazing! Even people without prior experience had a fantastic time, learned a lot, and left with some techniques they wanted to incorporate into their daily lives. Highly recommend!

– Blake

"Enlightening and Incredible. The energy Nick has is so lovely and great to work with. He's so open and non-judgemental. Through his teachings I have become so much more confident, skilled, and even calmer when playing. I couldn't recommend Nick and the lessons more highly. He allows so much freedom to create and learn."

– Letty

“Joining the “songs for waking up” class helped me start my day on the right foot.  The songs are positive mantras and I believe they inspired my day I noticed myself quick to hum and smile throughout the day.

Ending the day with the sound healing so divine.  Giving my physical and mental body a whole hour of sonic attention was glorious.  Nicholas did a great job bringing the energy up, allowing for release and then gently guiding the energy back down.  After class I felt grounded, calm, and delighted.  What a gift <3”
