I learned about sync in January 2022. It is now Dec 2022 and I have over 15 songs repped, 90+ songs in my catalog, my first writing collaboration within the sync community, released an EP on vinyl and Christmas single on vinyl, and focused my identity as a musician and artist - all due to diligently soaking up the valuable insight and advice from Sonnet & John.
