At 16, I found myself unexpectedly thrust into the mix of the OMGTour, a music tour featuring Vine and internet-famous acts. Originally, I was only supposed to be a guest music act in Cherry Hill, NJ, but after my performance, the tour managers and other acts saw potential in me and invited me to join them on the road. This surprise marked the beginning of an unforgettable adventure.
Despite being the youngest member, I was trusted and given the opportunity to host a couple of shows and perform duets with several acts, in addition to performing my own set at each venue. Connecting with the fans was important to me, so I made sure each performance was interactive and engaging, whether the spotlight was on me or not. The living conditions were a bit rough, as I was never accounted for in the original budget, with cots for beds and shared rooms, but it was all part of the experience. We traveled through cities like DC, Philly, Pittsburgh, Boston, and NYC, each with its own unique vibe and enthusiastic crowds.
The OMGTour was more than just a series of performances; it was a learning experience and a chance to meet and collaborate with other artists, some of whom have gone on to achieve great success. It was a time of growth, both personally and professionally, and it's an experience I'll always cherish.
