Cat sat down to chat with Latin Grammy-nominated singer Manu Manzo! Manu is a singer/songwriter born in Venezuela and raised in the city of Miami. This inspiring young woman has fearlessly embraced her creative gifts which led her to study at Berklee College of Music in Boston and ultimately compose alongside artists like Alex Ubago, Tommy Torres, and Luis Enrique. Her sound is a combination of the genres that have influenced her life: from Latin music to Jazz, Hip-Hop to Neo Soul, as well as the Blues. Manu has embarked on the journey of finding the balance between old school and new school without losing the essence of who she really is. In September 2015 she was nominated as "Best New Artist" in the 16th edition of the Latin Grammy Awards and in 2016 she signed with Peer Music Publishing and Aquos Music Publishing. Throughout this interview, Manu walks Cat through her early life, relives the ups and downs that have led her to where she is today, and gives out encouraging messages to her fellow millennials. This episode is proof that we've gotta be okay with pivoting and changing course from time to time. As long as we grind and keep our vision intact GREAT THINGS will come out of it!
