“It is truly amazing to not only watch, but to be able to contribute to and participate in the professional growth of an artist of this caliber. Their music is beautiful, and made for the masses to hear… globally!” says Lynda Weingartz, CEO of AirPlay Direct. “AirPlay Direct is proud to have ‘endorsees’ that not only create something special, but are constantly learning and growing in the ‘business of music’ in 2017!”
