“Joining the STRIVE Initiative has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. The mentors helped keep me focused and motivated, even during the rough patches in my life. Mentors like David Charles, Mikki Gato, Eli Capella, and others believed in me and pushed me to keep growing in the music dream I’m chasing. They are incredibly supportive and truly take the time to understand my story, my ideas, and my goals. Because of STRIVE, I feel more confident, inspired, and prepared to keep moving forward.”
