Indie Musician Success: Hollywood Week On Idol #BTS

It was an AMAZING performance by Geena Fontanella on American Idol this week!! She says:

”I’ve just been doing music at this magnitude for almost a decade. And a music career is a really difficult career, it’s not easy to get a 1000 NO'S and maybe 1 YES. And you just kind of go throughout your life putting your nose to the ground, and being like...if I keep working hard, something's going to happen of it, and it's nice that finally somebody gave me a yes.”

Go to 1:12 to hear the key to her success:

Geena is an indie musician making it ALL happen ALL the time and never stops at no, including during this quarantine. 

In addition to pursuing her own artist path, she’s an in-demand session songwriter, singer and vocal arranger (and you can now even book her on Cameo!).

Lucky us, she’s a part of the IHMV artist development & songwriting team!
