KAbout Ken LaDeroute

Music, Mindfulness & Insight

I’m a songwriter, musician, audio engineer, meditation teacher, mindset coach, author, and lifelong student of human potential.

My career has taken me through some very different worlds—professional music, meditation, coaching, business, teaching, writing, and entrepreneurship. While they may seem like separate chapters, they’ve all been connected by the same interests: creativity, personal growth, awareness, and understanding how the mind works.

My Journey

Music has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I spent 14 years on the road as a professional entertainer and recording artist, playing six nights a week throughout Canada and the United States. Along the way, I wrote and recorded music, produced albums, and developed a lifelong interest in audio engineering and music production.

My search for a deeper understanding of life eventually led me to meditation.

In 1989, I was initiated into Kriya Yoga by a direct disciple of Paramahansa Yogananda. Meditation became an important part of my life and eventually led me into teaching mindfulness, awareness, and personal development.

I later became a Certified Professional Mindset Coach through the International Coaching Academy and became affiliated with the International Coaching Federation. Through Clarity Mind, I’ve worked with people around the world, helping them understand overthinking, limiting beliefs, self-trust, mental conditioning, and the patterns that can interfere with living a more satisfying life.

Over the years, I’ve taught meditation through workshops, private sessions, online programs, and a weekly Sunday meditation on Zoom.

I’ve also had a diverse business career, including franchise ownership, commercial real estate investment, university teaching, writing, and entrepreneurship. I’ve never been particularly interested in following a single career path.

A New Creative Chapter

Today, I’m returning to one of my oldest passions: songwriting.

Since late 2025, I’ve been writing and recording new music almost every day. I’m combining my experience as a musician and audio engineer with everything I’ve learned about mindfulness, psychology, awareness, and personal development.

I’ve begun calling this Insight Music.

The songs explore ideas such as freedom, identity, self-discovery, overcoming limiting beliefs, letting go of old conditioning, presence, relationships, and the stories we create about ourselves.

Some are intimate singer-songwriter pieces. Others move toward rock, electronic, or more experimental territory. I’m continuing to explore songwriting, recording, guitar, vocals, and music production as I develop this new body of work.

For me, this isn’t simply a return to the music career I had earlier in my life. It’s an opportunity to bring together many of the things I’ve learned and experienced over the years and see what emerges.

Looking Ahead

I’m continuing to develop new songs, record demos, experiment with production, and explore where Insight Music might lead.

I’m also continuing to write and share ideas about mindfulness, personal development, creativity, and living consciously through Clarity Mind.

At this stage of my life, I’m less interested in adding another title to my rĂ©sumĂ© and more interested in creating meaningful work that brings together the things I know, the things I love, and the things I’m still discovering.

That’s the direction I’m exploring now.
