FINZER
Sherry Finzer is a visionary musician dedicated to exploring the healing power of music. Drawing on her diverse background across various styles and genres, she has developed a unique focus on calming, soothing, and meditative compositions designed to promote healing and overall well-being. Her music has been embraced by fans and listeners for its ability to reduce stress, encourage relaxation, and provide solace during challenges such as grief, depression, tinnitus, stroke, and cancer.
​
Specializing in low flutes (alto, bass, contrabass) and Native flutes, Sherry's work has been featured in advertisements, independent films, and widely on platforms like SiriusXM’s Spa Channel, Pandora, Spotify, Music Choice, and Calm Radio. A pioneer in live streaming on the Insight Timer app, she performs weekly sessions and recently had her track "Distant Rivers" showcased on PBS’s From Sea to Shining Sea.
​
In 2024, Sherry achieved her Level II Group Sound Healing Certification from the prestigious Sound Healing Academy in the UK. With over 300 hours of training and nearly five years of live-streaming experience, she now provides individual, group, and corporate sound healing sessions, both in-person and online via Zoom.
​
Sherry has recorded nearly 400 tracks, available on all streaming platforms, including collaborations with renowned artists such as pianists Michael Martinez and Greg Maroney, guitarist Darin Mahoney, 7-time GRAMMY nominee and percussionist Will Clipman, harpists VeeRonna Ragone and Peter Sterling, and multi-instrumentalist Cass Anawaty (Evenfall and Majestica). She was also a featured artist on the GRAMMY-nominated album The Passenger by Cheryl Engelhardt in 2022.
​
In addition to her musical achievements, Sherry is the founder, president, and CEO of Heart Dance Records (established in 2009) and Higher Level Media (founded in 2015), a radio promotions company for instrumental musicians. She also established the Arizona World Music Initiative (2009), a 501(c)(3) organization.
