Attending music awards is a magical experience, especially for independent artists. I’m beyond excited to welcome Chelsea Rae onto the show for a very special conversation about our journeys to winning our awards at the International Singer Songwriters Association (ISSA) Awards in Atlanta.
The quote for this episode is by Phylicia Rashad: “As artists, we do the work that we do. Receiving an award or not receiving an award in no way diminishes one’s talent or value.” During our conversation, Chelsea and I talk about the reality of award recognition, the beauty of award shows for independent artists, our experiences during the ISSA Awards voting period to become finalists, how we felt when we found out we were finalists, overcoming experiences where we got torn down for our dreams, surrounding ourselves with a supportive community, picking our dresses for the awards show, the red carpet event, the moments we won our awards, our biggest takeaways from the whole experience, and so much more. Also, I share our official clips from the event, from the award presentations to our acceptance speeches. I had the best time chatting with Chelsea all about the ISSA Awards, so I hope you love listening.
