Pontea

LA native Pontea is a multilingual, multi-instrumental singer-songwriter and ceremonial songweaver bridging ancient roots with modern expression. Daughter of Iranian Jewish immigrants, she infuses her heritage into a sound that is mystical yet grounded, soulful yet rhythmic. Whether through songs shaped over time or music emerging intuitively in ceremony, Pontea draws from her healing journey & spiritual awakenings, inviting listeners into a realm where sound becomes invocation. Blending medicine music, folk, ambient, soul, and world music, she offers soul-stirring songs, meditative soundscapes, and improvised sonic journeys. Her voice carries through ethereal highs & earthy, womb-like lows, like being cradled by the earth itself. Beyond the studio, Pontea is an LA-based sound healer & ceremonial facilitator, weaving music into spaces for healing and remembrance. With guitar, handpan, native flute, percussion, keys, beatboxing, & voice, she tunes into the energy of the space, letting the moment shape each experience. Her 2025 EP, Channeled, recorded in single live takes, captures the immediacy of intuitive creation, while her growing body of written songs reflects self-discovery & artistic evolution. Her grounding melodies, woven with reverence, vulnerability, and sprinkles of playfulness, invite listeners beyond the ordinary. From healing the heart to illuminating our shadows, Pontea’s music offers both sanctuary and awakening, with the freedom to dance with the wind.
