Riley A Cappella Academy 2016
Donation protected
Hi everyone! My name is Riley Granger, and I am and have always been a musician. I can't remember a time when I didn't sing, in fact I used to get in trouble during school for humming while I did my work! However, due to performance anxiety I never really excelled with my vocal music, and had a fear of performing or auditioning.
Last year I did something that I never expected of myself and I auditioned for A Cappella Academy, an incredible summer program for young singers. I was accepted, and it was the best experience of my life. I made the best friends in the world and gained a ton of confidence, something I was severely lacking before I went to camp. I returned home unsure of what to do with this newfound motivation, and promptly taught myself to play the guitar and started writing more music.
This year, I once again submitted my audition, and despite my self-doubt I was lucky enough to be accepted for a second time. However, I need your help! The full cost of camp is almost $2000, not including travel. Anything you can give would be forever appreciated. If you can help out I would be so incredibly thankful, and if you can't then please share the link! I've attached the link to my audition video from this year, as well as my group performance from last summer if you want to take a look.
I'm excited to see what this summer brings for me, and I'm thankful for anyone who can help me get there. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this!
