First Sound with Andrew Kay – Details, episodes & analysis

What's the first sound you remember?

A mother's voice, rain on a roof, a song on the radio?

On First Sound, Nad Yoga founder, musician, sound healer and teacher Andrew Kay sits down with musicians, doctors, authors, and people from every walk of life to explore how sound and music shape who we are. Each conversation begins with a guest's first sound and ends with the last sound they'd like to hear. In between: creativity, spirituality, healing, and the moments that changed everything.

Who you will hear from

Musicians on how music shaped their lives and creative process. Doctors, therapists, and practitioners using sound to support individuals and communities. Authors, researchers, and teachers exploring vibration, consciousness, and meaning. And people from unexpected professions who found that sound changed the way they work and live.

About Nad Yoga

Nad Yoga was founded upon Andrew's sound healing practice, offering one-on-one sessions, group sound baths, and practitioner trainings through the Sound Healing Academy. The name comes from "nada," the Sanskrit word for sound and flow, and the work draws on singing bowls, tuning forks, drums, voice, woodwinds, and the traditions of Indian raga. Nad Yoga provides experiences, trainings, instruments, and tools to help people find their own unique path of transformation through sound and music.
