Got in the game: About a year and a half ago, I met the VWe Music crew at a Rockstar karaoke event. They offered to show me the ropes, I took them up on it and, as they say, the rest is history!
Why I do it: Why not? I get to force everyone to listen to my favorite music and hang out.

I’d like to add: I never thought this would be something I would ever do, but a year ago I met the VWe Music crew. They taught me and now I can’t picture myself not doing it. I get to enjoy the Greensboro nightlife while being a part of it. Come check me out and if you’re nice I might even play your request or sing for ya!
