Ninette: A Life Between Frequencies
Born in Etobicoke, a suburb of Toronto, Canada, Ninette’s life began with a signature most recognizable to the mystics: music, magic, and messages from beyond.
By five, she was regularly visited at night by what she called “old friends”—beings of Native American appearance who communicated not with words, but waves of unconditional love. They’d sit calmly at the edge of her bed, transmitting peace. She, naturally, responded in kind—telepathic love-talk was her first language.
Her father, Morgan, a fellow seeker deep into Seth Speaks and The Road Less Travelled, once asked her where she’d learned the mysterious song she kept singing. “My Indian friends taught it to me,” she replied. And just like that, Morgan booked her first session with a past life regressionist. The psychic confirmed what Ninette already knew in her bones: she had lived as a Native American shaman whose soul story involved loss, mourning, and a starved return to Spirit.
Though the nightly visitations faded by age nine, her inner eye stayed wide open. At ten, songs began to pour in—fully-formed melodies and lyrics she would later realize were whispered in from beyond. She began performing her original songs at school productions, inspired by the glamour and grit of Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, and Judy Garland.
After her parents’ divorce, music became her oxygen. Piano, voice, local festivals—Ninette dove in. By fifteen, she was fronting a rock band, the youngest in the crew. School couldn’t hold her; music could.
After a brief semester in Sheraton College’s musical theatre program (which felt like wearing someone else’s shoes), she taught aerobics full-time while prepping for the Humber College jazz program. She got in. Unanimously. There, she majored in voice and minored in Latin percussion, catching the eye of Memo Acevado, who made her the frontwoman of the Humber Latin Ensemble. Ninette danced, sang, and rocked the congas like she was born doing it.
Soon after, Toronto couldn’t contain her. Under the name “Laya,” she recorded Don’t Ever Leave, All Of My Dreams, which charted Top 5 on Canadian Dance charts and scored a Juno nomination. Cue the nationwide tour.
Opportunity knocked (again), this time in the form of a spot with Frozen Ghost—one of Canada’s top rock acts. She toured both coasts as their background singer and percussionist. On that tour, she met her future husband Phil X (now Bon Jovi’s lead guitarist). Together, they shared stages with everyone from Alana Myles to Metallica and Wyclef Jean. But cold winters weren’t for them. The duo packed up and moved to Los Angeles, ready for palm trees and possibility.
In L.A., they formed “Powder,” a turbo-charged pop-rock experience. Ninette was crowned “Front Person of the Year” by the LA Music Awards; the band took home “Best Stage Show.” They played sold-out concerts, scored licensing deals on TV, and created music that boomed in stadiums and commercials. Ninette’s vocals appeared in national Sprint campaigns, radio ads across four countries, and TV series including The L Word.
But she wasn’t done. She wanted more wow. She trained in aerial arts with Cirque’s Michelle Dejunair and wove silks, hoops, and heart into her performances. Aerial work became its own enterprise—corporate gigs for SpaceX, Lexus, Telemundo, and even celebrity events with Magic Johnson and Rihanna.
After a decade in the air, she came down to Earth—metaphorically and spiritually. The end of her 20-year relationship with Phil became the catalyst for a deeper awakening. She reconnected with her mother after 15 years of silence. Forgiveness walked in. So did healing.
From here, the mystical gates burst open.
She immersed herself in Kriya, Kundalini, breathwork, rebirthing, and meditation, while training with Michael Beckwith at Agape in Los Angeles. That’s when the next love walked in: J.C., her soulmate, her sacred mirror. Together, they stepped into a new era.
Physically empowered from her aerial past, Ninette entered the world of physique competition. And in true Ninette fashion—she crushed it. First place at her very first show. Then NPC Culver City. Then the Iron Man. Miss Universe title. Magazine spreads. A two-year columnist gig for Iron Man Magazine.
Yet beneath the muscle, Spirit whispered: “There’s more.”
She became a Reiki practitioner. She opened a private gym. She trained clients in mind-body-soul alignment. Then… her voice disappeared. Gone for nearly four years.
In 2017, she and J.C. moved to Northern Mexico. It was here the real voice returned—not just the vocal cords, but the Soul Song. J.C. handed her a book: Practicing the Presence by Joel Goldsmith. Her world unraveled—then remade itself. The ego grid cracked. The past rose. Dark nights fell. Ancestors visited. Shadow memories surfaced. She curled up in bed and let the undoing happen.
Then came A Course in Miracles… and Linda O’Connell.
Boom.
Everything changed.
She launched “Spiritual Nerd,” a talk show with Linda, and dove into new levels of consciousness. Music returned—not as a placeholder but as prophecy. She formed Jorge & La Gringa, a jazz-pop duo. Her voice, once believed lost, became a healing instrument again. Performances resumed. Jazz band. Solo shows. Soul remembering.
Now, she weaves it all together.
Today, Ninette leads a thriving online practice integrating strength, breath, spirit, and soul alchemy. She and J.C. travel the world performing their musical comedy magic show, The Johnny Great and Dutch Show. She’s currently recording original scores, collaborating with healers, and transmitting frequencies meant to wake the sleepers and stir the sages.
Now, Ninette continues to listen deeply—beyond thought, beyond form, into the still hum of Truth that lives beneath it all.
In this current chapter of her Earth walk, she is channeling transmissions in book form: living documents coded with remembrance, frequency, and the language of direct communion.
These are not just books—they are portals, mapped in collaboration with unseen allies and intelligences from beyond the veil.
Each word a tuning fork. Each page a permission slip. Each project a reflection of humanity’s vast potential to remember itself.
Because Ninette is not just an artist.
She is a bridge between worlds.
A transmitter of codes.
A galactic gringa on divine assignment.
