I am your host Kiran and today I'm joined by a Bay Area UP & COMING artist, Sabrina Shauna, her manager Carmela Lee, and her marketing/promotion specialist Yazmin Mendez. Today’s episode will be a storytime session where we’ll learn what it’s like to start a career in the music industry from three different perspectives! As an artist, as a manager, and as a marketer. A little bit about Sabrina Shauna, she is an independent R&B singer-songwriter from the Bay Area. She received her B.A. in Communications from San Francisco State University in 2019. Sabrina has since then released three singles and an EP titled "I'm Ready". (NOTE: Outro & Intro to this episode are sneak peeks of Sabrina Shauna's new release called 'The Last Song  Part 2' coming out on December 4th).
