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 Just wanted to say THANK YOU for last night. it was such a sweet sweet vibe...the acts were terrific..some mind blowing, very professionally done, it started on time...did I mention sweet vibes...i LOVED it...this was from being outside and seeing the backs of the performers lol...i cannot wait for the next one...keep up the good work.

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!
