When I talk about my music journey, I always end the story at hope for better times ahead, but rarely go into what came after hope. So much good came out of everything that happened and although it’s true I’ll never know what my alternate reality could have been had things gone “according to plan”, I do know that everything falling apart woke me up.
When ICON shut down, it felt like everything I had been waiting and working for disappeared overnight. I didn’t even consider looking into other programs to transfer into because I thought that was the end of that. But then I heard the team at pointblank was trying to help and I was so grateful when they offered to honor my ICON scholarship. Fast forward 9 months and I’ve now officially completed the program!!! And 1 year in LA pursuing my dream :’)
If things hadn’t happened the way they did, I don’t know if I would have ever taken my own vocals seriously, or sang live (3 times!). I don’t know if I would have thought about a serious release strategy so soon, much less released a song on major streaming platforms before my one year mark. When one door closes, another door opens, and although this door has now come to a close too, I’m taking with me so much more than just music production knowledge. I can’t wait to see what doors are opening next! 💛
