I want to keep honing it in and just finding where exactly I fit or anyone wants me to be. I think we've talked about it. I really would love to just keep working with musicians, maybe be a vocalist for any new songwriters or musicians looking for a vocalist.31:38 - My 13-year-old self, I would say learn an instrument. Study everything, I mean, from art, from your being a musician, a vocalist, dance, I mean, all of it. I mean, even if you don't think you're good at it, I think the more confident you are in yourself in life, I think you'll learn it quicker. 41:14 - When I was a kid, and because of my parents and they had such a variety of classic rock and soft rock, and just all of a mix, but my dad got me this jukebox that had about 10 cassettes of fifties and sixties, and that was all I ever listened to for years. So, that was always my style. ContactFresh Coast Jazz FestivalB.D. GreerFacebookYoutubeInstagram
