While we wait this virus out and keep ourselves healthy, occupied, and sane, let's take a second to smile. I'll be posting some of favorite performances from The Relative Pitch Youth Open Mic from over the years to keep our spirits up until we are able to celebrate again together. Today we'll start with our first ever Relative Pitch at our first location Broad Street Cafe on November 12, 2012, with then 12 year old Sydney singing "Cowboy Take Me Away"".

In the 20 years I've been pursuing this career of music, like any dream, there are so many days that you feel discouraged. Like you want to quit. Like no one cares about what you have to say. Like the hurdles are too high to get over.
In between those moments, you get what I call "postcards from God"; moments that affirm and give you the fuel to keep going. When UNC-TV offered me the opportunity to tell my story and sing my songs, it was one of those "postcard from God" moments. I am excited to share this piece of myself with you and hope that you enjoy. Thank you God and UNC-TV for another chance to do what I love so much...
