The most important factor behind my success is purpose. Purpose meaning my ability to provide value and create a safe space for individuals to connect and feel confident and beautiful. Purpose infuses my work with passion, authenticity, and a clear vision. It motivations me to stay updated with the latest products, technology and maintain a high standard of excellence. My purpose gives me resilience, allowing me to navigate the competitive and ever-evolving industry with determination and grace.

Felipe Rosaels | Elementary Music Teacher and Band Leader

I would say the most important factors behind our success have been three-fold: being genuine, being kind, and supporting our fellow musicians. Our live show is one that some would describe as cheesy, but it’s a genuine representation of who we are. When you are unabashedly yourself, the right people will connect with you and that has led us to create relationships that are honest and fulfilling. I strive to be kind in all aspect of the band because I feel that is such an important quality to bring to any industry. It can be easy to fall into the cut-throat aspects of live music, so we do our best to avoid that. Lastly, we just love the people we get to share stages with and do our best to be their advocates as well. Read more>>
