The Hawaiian singer cleverly blends unique instrumentation alongside his deep and heartfelt lyrics. Steven finds his inspiration in the world around him.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Although he grew up in the mountains of North Carolina, Sedalia has lived on an organic fruit and veg farm on Kauai in the Hawaiian Islands for several years. Surrounded by such an incredible environment, there\u2019s no wonder as to how Steven is able to write such motivational songs filled with love and inspiration.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The album consists of 14 stunning tracks and &#8216;Mauna&#8217; translates to mountain in Hawaiian and silence in Sanskrit \u2013 making it the perfect title for this particular project.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_56114\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-56114\" style=\"width: 4001px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"56114\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/2019\/10\/from-anxiety-to-alignment-hawaii-based-steven-sedalia-releases-debut-album\/steven-sedalia\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/steven-sedalia.jpg?fit=4001%2C3456&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"4001,3456\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-title=\"steven sedalia\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/steven-sedalia.jpg?fit=640%2C553&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-56114 size-full\" title=\"Steven Sedalia - photo credit David Marsh\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/steven-sedalia.jpg?resize=640%2C553&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Steven Sedalia - photo credit David Marsh\" width=\"640\" height=\"553\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-56114\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Steven Sedalia &#8211; photo credit David Marsh<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Speaking of the album, Steven states that:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThese are love songs to the land, to that which grows on it, to those who live on it, to my heart that beats with it, to the waters, and to the Spirit who made us all, with aloha.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Not only is the album an enjoyable listen, but it is also a reflection on the singer\u2019s journey to overcoming anxiety.
