Sherry Finzer is a visionary musician who believes in the healing power of music. Her musical journey spans classical, jazz, pop, world, and flamenco, and she now focuses on creating calming, soothing compositions that support mental and physical well-being. Inspired by fans' stories of how her music has helped them manage stress, depression, and health issues like tinnitus, stroke, and cancer, Sherry continues to record, perform, and compose with the goal of using music as a tool for healing. As founder of Heart Dance Records, she leads a label dedicated to producing music that promotes healing and inner peace.

​

Her music, which specializes in low flutes—alto, bass, and contrabass—as well as Native flutes, has been featured in advertisements and independent films. It is also heard across platforms such as SiriusXM Spa Channel, Pandora, Spotify, Music Choice, Calm Radio, and more. Sherry was one of the first artists to live stream on the Insight Timer app, where she performs weekly, and her song "Distant Rivers" was recently featured on PBS’s From Sea to Shining Sea.

​

Approaching 100 New Age and Contemporary Instrumental albums, EPs, and singles, Sherry has collaborated with pianists Michael Martinez & Greg Maroney, guitarist Darin Mahoney, 7-time GRAMMY nominee and pan-global percussionist Will Clipman, harpists VeeRonna Ragone and Peter Sterling, and multi instrumental Cass Anawaty in their groups Evenfall and Majestica. She is also a featured artist on the GRAMMY-nominated album The Passenger by Cheryl Engelhardt.

​

Beyond her musical work, Sherry is the founder, president, and CEO of Heart Dance Records and Higher Level Media, a radio promotions company for instrumental musicians.
