Hello! Welcome to the NEW SERIES on the blog!

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!

Barrie Kreinik begins this series. She is a multi-talented artist, who began her vocal journey at SEY Voice in 2007! The trust and incredible collaboration we have nurtured throughout the years is something I treasure. I have watched Barrie grow into her depth of spirit, and her “old soul” talent. She continues to amaze me, and claimed her journey with intensity, honesty, laughter & tears. I am so honored to be a part of this journey and continue to stay excited to see what she does next!

Get to know Barrie. She will draw you in and make room for you!

with fondness & fierceness,

BARRIE KREINIK
