Creative Artists of TN (CATS) has been a great and huge help to my music career over the past few years. I'm constantly being brought up and mentioned for opportunities that I usually get booked for to showcase my talents and business which is a key factor in this industry. From networking and connecting me with other creatives, CATS has not only become an influential tool, but they have become Family and huge supporters of my brand! For that, I am very grateful.
