Bands to Watch for @austin_monthly by @treyfreemanphotography

Austin Music Foundation:. . What’s been your biggest musical accomplishment to date? . Me: . Finding my way. Embracing my sound. Discovering my potential. Music has been a long journey of self-discovery for me. This business will test you in ways that will lead you to discover who you are as a person and as a creative. It’s been challenging but so rewarding and so worth it as my number one concern has always been the health of my soul as the end of the day. I’ve turned things down that others may have jumped on and I’ve worked with and have done work for people and things that others may have ignored. This keeps my little soul healthy and, for me, gives this journey true value. . Full interview at austinmusicfoundation.org (at Austin, Texas)

We all have worries but it’s how we process those worries that determines whether we live in fear or live in hope. New music via @clashmagazine 📸: @moyo3k

My momma told me: You can’t fake being brave. The second you stand up and face that demon head on even if you’re faking it the entire time, that, my love, is bravery in motion. photo cred. @andrewbennettphoto (at Empire Control Room & Garage)

If you’re a young brown skinned girl in Austin and want to sing, just listen to your calling, grab a mic, and get up and do it. I’m highlighting brown skinned women because this was my own experience. These factors contributed to my own hesitation to rock out and damn, it would have been nice for someone to remind me that there was, is, and always will be room for me✨ photo cred. @dhallphoto (at Empire Control Room & Garage)
