Summary

Globally known Jazz vocalist, composer, producer, music journalist - Fiona Ross - is our guest on Switcher Chats with Darrell Craig Harris. My good friend in London, UK - Fiona Ross, and I had a chance to catch up. Mostly, I wanted to share with all of you how totally amazing this multi-talented individual is, and for you to hear it directly from Fiona with some prompting from me. She tends to rave on about new and upcoming musicians - constantly encouraging and supporting the younger generations. Fiona is constantly on the go. It's like she has some secret access to NASA rocket fuel. In fact, I don't think she's actually ever stopped since she started at 2-years old. Listen in and enjoy finding out about this really authentic, fascinating advocate of so....many people. Have a look at her website - especially her BIO and see some of the well-known pop stars she's had a hand in helping on the road to global fame.
