Hey fellow musician just read your open letter to Miley,Sinead and Amanda. I loved it well said. I agree with every word of it. I also believe that Miley is really pushing the promotion thing a little too far!! But it is working for her and it doesn’t seem to be doing Sinead any harm either.
I hope the letter you wrote will help push your career further all the best from Ireland, keep it real always!!
thank you! i’ve always wanted to visit Ireland… maybe someday!
This is Kat Rose from Kerrville Folk Festival (KerrLeader for the Songwriting Schools). Loved your letter. It is going viral in the virtual world Facebook pages. I have been sharing your letter and others are passing it along as well. Great insight from all three of you songwriter musicians. You have joined some great company on the Open Letter circuit now! Proud of ya. Keep trucking. You Rock! 🙂
