Mardi Ritchie is a singer-songwriter, composer, and founder of Chakana Day Spa + Wellbeing in Avalon Beach, Sydney. Chakana Day Spa + Wellbeing.
Her work sits at the meeting point of cinematic songwriting, live performance, and sensory immersion. Written from emotional truth - the weight people carry quietly, and what becomes possible when they finally have space to soften - her music is for the interior world of the listener.
For more than three decades Mardi has worked at the meeting point of touch, skin, and sound. That meeting point became Chakana - a boutique luxury day spa on Sydney’s Northern Beaches where the treatments, the atmosphere, and the sound all come from the same place as the music.
Mardi performs her original compositions live within immersive sound experiences - for private individuals, and for groups, retreats, corporate events and cultural gatherings. Her debut EP, Chakana Ascend, was produced by Sean Carey at Church St Studios, Sydney.
Her work has been featured in InStyle Australia and reviewed by Kirstie Clements, former Editor-in-Chief of Vogue Australia. Read here
New work is in development - a sonic and visual world combining original music, live performance and audiovisual installation.
