Meet Sunny Loudin

We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Sunny Loudin. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Sunny below.

Sunny , we’re thrilled to have you on our platform and we think there is so much folks can learn from you and your story. Something that matters deeply to us is living a life and leading a career filled with purpose and so let’s start by chatting about how you found your purpose.

It was through great pain and emotional trauma, battling what was said to be terminal cancer, and being discarded by an abusive, narcissistic, cruel human being at the same time, that when I lived through it, I decided to write my pain into thought-provoking, raw words, with melodic structure that I was not emulating or worrying about what anyone would think.
To be a songwriter is to be fearless. And I met an incredible partner, who encouraged me to write an album, I taught myself guitar, and we created our band, SunRust. This year we added a drums and a bass player, last year we won music video of the year for the Washington State independent music, awards, and getting Radio play in Tenerife, and parts of Portugal and Morocco. We have two music videos out called La Luna, and Nightbird, and soon to be releasing our newest called crack the code. I found my purpose through great pain. It was the only way to open the doors of miracles and appreciate all that life has given me, to give the world.

Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?

During the day, I am a stylist,
Sunny loudin hair design. I specialize in creative color and cuts.
At night I am a musician. My joy in life is to bring happiness to others. My music is very thought-provoking. It’s an experience. They call us Gothic folk..
I am on the 12 string, my partner is on the electric guitar. A bass player and a drummer. We sit in velvet parlor chairs. We capture the mood. It’s a two hour experience. You can like and follow us on Facebook or Instagram.

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

The first and most important thing I’ve learned in life is to trust your own instinct as it is never wrong. It’s your own language to your higher self.
The second and just as important knowledge, is that we do interact energetically with others. And being in toxic relationships, can affect your health, and stress does cause disease. Once you learn to harness your power, and deflect the negative energies around you, you become a much more happy, healthy person.
Thirdly, I’ve learned to live with no fear. No fear of judgment, and no fear to climb the highest mountains if that’s what my heart tells me that I need to do. You miss out on a whole lot of this beautiful life, if you’re afraid to experience it.

If you knew you only had a decade of life left, how would you spend that decade?

Well, as I’ve lived through a diagnosis of terminal cancer, and it has been eight years now, in complete remission. I live every day like it’s my last. Being abandoned and left for dead while I fought that painful battle,sent me into a tailspin of self reflection. And a journey into what I want my life to look like.
I’ve traveled to over 10 different countries in the last 8 years. Sometimes as a tourist, and sometimes as a musician. I will continue to travel as much as I am gifted, and encourage others that the world is a wonderful place to experience.
