Lyric Claudette Ontiveros: Singer / Best GF Ever / Creative Director to Life

@lyricontiverosRemembering Sergio OntiverosThe scene:We are in Lyric’s back-house behind her grandmother’s house - separated only by glass to The Miracles’ old recording studio. Lyric wants to be appreciated in her own right for what she brings to the world - as she should. She also comes from an amazing musical legacy - her grandparents, Claudette and Smokey Robinson, inevitably brought her into this world with exceptional musical talents.
