“Thank you so much for giving me what I can only describe as an opportunity of a Lifetime. From the Workshop to the
amazing Show and your selflessness in putting together a show that can only serve to help all young female artists and
give each an every one of us the insights and potential for making it in the music industry. The Show itself was
breathtaking I felt myself transform as I started to sing, words cannot express the many emotions that I went through
during my performance not to mention the very many warm words from all who were there”

Ahhhhhh!!!!!!! It was absolutely AWESOME!! I especially just LOVED the whole vibe of the night! The energy that each
artist brought to the stage was soo refreshing to witness! I'm truly humble and grateful to be part of the experience! I had
an absolute blast on stage and I wanted to keep on jamming! I'm definitely looking forward to the next one! So far I've
been offered an article in the easy magazine style section. Once again I thank you sooooo much for my Honey Jam
experience. I really believe that this is my year and I've started it off MASSIVE through this show and for that I will
forever be grateful!!!! Keep on doing what you're doing cuz this industry NEEDS this!!!!
“The artists were kept very well informed, from the first meeting til the night, right up to each individual
performance. The experience ... Wow. I put energy into everything I do. That's essentially the essence of
Karma, a universal energy. But my performance for Honey Jam was fueled by all the talent surrounding me,
the determination and motivation you expressed, and the validation from the executives in attendance. It
made an impact on me, and forced me to shine on stage. Inside out. My Honey Jam experience was sweet,
and bright. Thanks!
