Have you ever noticed the healing power of music? Have you listened to a song and it brought you joy or some deep feelings or took you to a place far away? Have you every wondered how this happens and what goes into music that makes it so powerful? I have been working with the healing power of music through rock and roll, alternative, frequencies, folk and other genres of music to help touch places in your life that can create healing and deep feelings of connection.
I am William Stanhope Cutherell and I welcome you to my website. It will help you explore how creativity and passion for music can change your life and bring joy and wonder to you. Enjoy!
As a songwriter and musician, I create music that will bring together healing, joy, and connection. It will touch you, move you, and help you connect with the feelings and emotions that went into the creation of that music.
Through songs and healing frequencies we can learn about ourselves and connect with parts of us that yearn for that deeper more meaningful connection in life.

About 10 years ago, I co created a project with artist/musician Bruce Sallee called The 432 Peace Project which was based on the tuning of 432 Htz. and various other specific healing frequencies. We wrote and crafted original tunes where all instruments were tuned to 432 Htz or specific healing frequencies which were mostly based on the sound healing principles learned from Jonathan Goldman of frequency + intent = sound healing. Below is our work and all the tunes and frequencies we developed.
These were my first two CDs that I wrote, recorded and produced. I was learning the power of music and connection as I put together a band of incredible musicians to help. These were Randy Wheless, Clarke Hubbard, Gordon Brown, Hans Bohlmann, Russell Pryor III, Eric Demmer, Randy Wall, John Linder, Rick Thompson, Rock Romano, Glen Kozielec, Drew Hevle, Tommy Lee Bradley, Lori Callaway, Becky Williams, and Jeff Duncan. With the help and mentoring of Paul Cox at 226 Recordings, these CDs launched me on my solo career.
There is nothing like a great song to show me the way and there is nothing like a great teacher that comes along and unlocks something in us. This was Rock Romano for me. Rock Romano has been around the Houston music scene for decades and still is a force to be reckoned with. Rock owned and operated a music studio called The Red Shack for 30 years. He recently closed it down and reduced his operations to a smaller studio where he only deals with select clients. My first cassette, my first CD and my last CD all were recorded in the Red Shack.
When COVID-19 hit in 2020, I was playing with the Rafters and Kozmic Cowboy and writing songs in my studio. With bands and in-person sessions no longer possible, I adapted by collaborating remotely using Pro Tools. Paul Cox helped me share songs with musicians who added their parts, creating a virtual band. Rick Thompson, a multi-instrumentalist friend, contributed keyboards and vocals, enhancing my guitar, bass, and drum tracks. This period allowed me to hone my songwriting skills, writing a song a week for a year, with Rick's mentorship improving my melodies and singing.
These are a collection of songs that I wrote about music and my healing journey. Each collection is a certain healing path that I was and am still on. Through my inner growth work and healing journey, I have combined the power of music with the power of words to help share healing in a powerful way. Each song is a chapter in my life and as I share them, I have had overwhelming feedback how they have resonated with others and their journeys. The longer I live I realize that we are all fighting battles of some sort and that we are not alone in our journeys. So I hope you relate to the songs and they help your heal as they have helped me.
This collection of songs is done by me and my songwriting partner, Bruce Sallee. Bruce and I have been writing songs, recording and developing frequency pieces, and studying healing through music for over 10 years. For the first 6-7 years we worked exclusively with The 432 Peace Project and studied how certain frequencies recorded with and without affirmations can change your life. We have recently gone back to writing songs about our healing journey and navigating through all the changes we have been through. We now have a different direction with the same soul’s purpose that we have always had, to share our healing journeys and to help other heal through our music.

All BlogsI am William Stanhope Cutherell. There is a reason that my given name is Stanhope. The meaning of my name Stan is “the Rock”…so I am the Rock of Hope. HOPE stands for Having Opportunities Present Everywhere and that is how I see music. Music is my life, my story, and my passion.
I have been a musician all of my life. I play guitar, hand drums, percussion, bass guitar, keyboard, sing, as well as write, record and produce my own and others music. Music is not only my passion, it is my gateway to my creativity and my life’s energy. Music is my metaphor for life ……. to teach and to learn. My songs are my healers.
