About

Berklimusic.com was created in the summer of 2016 by musician Anthony Berkley. What began as a small online collection of original instrumentals for singers and rappers was built around a deeper intention: to create music that inspired emotional honesty and meaningful expression. From an early age, Anthony lived with chronic health challenges. Severe asthma and allergies often required hospitalization and remained a constant presence throughout his life. As his career gained momentum and he began working with artists connected to major record labels, his health began to decline further. Over time, this manifested as chronic fatigue, chest pain, anxiety, daily splitting headaches, worsening asthma attacks, vision loss, and unexplained painful growths. Rest offered little relief. Despite long hours of sleep, his body constantly felt depleted, and the capacity to create began to erode alongside his health.

For years, Anthony maintained a disciplined creative practice, committing to recording & releasing at least one new composition every week. As his condition worsened, the nature of that work changed. Music that once emerged from inspiration began to feel forced. Eventually, the ideas stopped flowing altogether. Anthony was forced to take a step back and reevaluate everything. Eventually, having been interested in nutrition and fitness since high school, Anthony picked up a part time job at a local health food store called Pilgrim's Market, where he was introduced to a community of people who took responsibility for their health-- a whole universe where healthful, pain-free living was not only possible, but normal and expected (something foreign to him and the communities he grew up in). He was recommended books on whole food nutrition and discovered holistic treatments for conditions he'd believed he was alone in dealing with for so many years. 

Today, Anthony is living almost completely symptom free, crediting God and those who continue to provide lifesaving tools and information out of love rather than greed.

This experience reshaped Anthony’s understanding of both music and the creative process. In working with artists, he observed how closely creativity is tied to emotional safety, physical regulation, and the ability to be vulnerable. When the body and nervous system are overwhelmed, expression becomes guarded. When space is created for healing, deeper truths can surface that likely resonate with others. 

Berklimusic.com now exists at the intersection of music production and well-being. Our focus is in redefining the relationship between art and health. By supporting artists in healing physically, mentally, and spiritually, we aim to contribute to a broader cultural shift where creativity is nourished and expression becomes a source of healing, empowerment and connection rather than depletion.
