WELCOME TO SATURDAY SPOTLIGHT TAKE 3!

Saturday Spotlight will highlight a singer-artist in the studio each week. Some of these singer-artists might be familiar to you, and some may not. No matter what, each singer-artist is someone that you should get to know!

It is an honor and a privilege for me to work with each of these singer-artists and introduce them to you!

This week’s spotlight is none other than the magnetic Badia Farha. Badia is, as her name reveals, an original creation. She moves seamlessly through multiple genres and does it with authenticity, grace & truth. I am honored that she has been an ongoing member of SEY Voice, and that we have built such a strong and trusting space together to keep her healthy so she can continue to change lives with her work. Get to know her - she will change yours too!
