Quote: Each one of us makes a difference.
What I do is… sing, produce performances, do PR
My advice to others is… perseverance and ‘thank you’ cards go a long way towards building relationships and making things happen.
The best way to approach me is… via email.
My best memory is… packing Scullers twice last year.
My worst memory is…doing advertisements as a child and using my talents as a performer to sell… junk.
My prediction is… continued interest in live performances (especially small venues) to balance out the increased technification of the creative process.
