@ADAArtists What a great experience to look back on!! Life changing.

It's been 7 years? Was very exciting to participate in the @MONCAuditions Grand Finals in 2013. Great to listen to this year's winners last week hosted by the fantastic @Lisette_Oropesa, who gave generously to help increase the prizes this year. Let's all strive to give back.
