“I just joined the Battle of the Bands and I have been practicing every day for hours to prepare for it. I started doing it on Monday, and Battle of the Bands is Friday. I went to the Neutral Zone for a songwriting class because thats what I am interested in, and they put a bass in my hands and said I was in the Battle of the Bands. Everyone at the Neutral Zone is really nice, even outside of music it is just a really nice place for me. It doesn’t feel toxic. It feels like everyone there really want to see everyone succeed, and it is a very supportive environment.”
