CONTEMPO has been a great source for me to be better fulfilled as an artist. In addition to playing and singing songs I love, I get to learn new songs and experiment with genres I never would have thought of diving into. I’m also learning how to be more confident in what I do on stage as a performing artist. On the songwriter side, I get to bring brand new sounds to the stage in teaching other musicians how to play the songs I write.
