I think good customer service skills are extremely undervalued when it comes to doing business now. Though I try to connect with each of my clients on a more personal level, I’m not always the most talkative person.

I have to maintain that confidence when I am on the mic, because it inspires so many women who use my music for their own release. I’d say 75% of my listeners are women who relate to a similar journey and they fuel my desire to make music by reaching out to me and telling me I inspire them. Read more>>
