Northern Success Stories

I had an amazing session with Adam [Status/Non-Status] yesterday and it feels so exciting and inspiring to really be able to connect with someone that is like minded. So inspiring that I wrote a song, and I feel like I'm already that much closer to getting to where I want to be as an artist. I have a clearer vision of what I want to do now and I'm so excited to share what I'll be doing over the next 6 months! Chi Meegwetch and thank you from the bottom of my heart.
