Music career

Her first solo album was Elusive Victory, released in 2002.[1][2] She released a follow up, called Dangerously Beige, in 2007.[3]

Lullabies for Grownups

After living in Bozeman, Montana for some years, Kohler gained some press with the release of the first album of her Lullabies for Grownups series in 2008, entitled Clouds.[4] The CD, along with its two sequels, Stars and Moon, proved to be very successful among Yoga instructors and Massage Therapists.[5] The three albums are designed to be peaceful and relaxing, and was referred to as "musical meditation" by John Hoskings, Artistic Director of the Vigilante Theater Company in Bozeman.[6]

Current work

Kohler is currently based in Los Angeles. She released an album closer to the style of her pre-Lullabies work, entitled Unexpected Romance, in 2011. The album was produced by her brother Rob Kohler, and features 11 original compositions for piano and voice.[7]

Kohler Music Media

Kohler also runs a small publishing company in Los Angeles, called Kohler Music Press.[8] Their main product is the Perfect Staff Paper Notebook, a small booklet of blank staff paper that is marketed towards students and educators alike. They have also published a Theory Book written by Rob Kohler, and several score books made up of compositions by other members of the Kohler family. The company also produced and distributed This World's 2013 album, Celestial Skies.[9]
