"At 16, (In 2013) I performed for a Voice Box Session and was struck then by the attention to the songs, and production that was behind the scenes. I'm not sure I've ever played to a crowd and camera that's been so quiet and engaged. On top of that, having an open mic adjacent to a performance is such a great tradition and one that helped spur me to host my own open mic, now 8 years running!"
