"I spent my childhood in the public library, where stacks of CDs came home with me and opened my mind to a world outside my small hometown. I also spent a lot of time with a neighborhood family from India. I quickly fell in love with the culture and the music which influenced my style and writing." @rogothewild - https://sarahrogo.com
