  • Genuinely good time!

    I had the pleasure of chatting with Mindy about the release of my latest album “Forest Flow” for families. I could tell that she really cares about understanding the work artists present, through her thoughtful questions and warm demeanor. I was quite relaxed and felt like I was chatting with friends at pickup from my son’s school! She has a really lovely presence and allowed me to share about the creation of this project in deeper ways. Wonderful!
