🎤 Mic Drop Performer Spotlight: J U A N I T A (all caps, obviously)
Subtlety left the building years ago, so Juanita's belting Frank Sinatra's "My Way" like she invented regret and recovered from it fabulously. We expect nothing less.
Her inspiration? All the good people, a good cause, and a little confidence-building glamor thrown in for good measure.
Her favorite performers span the spectrum: Prince, Bowie, and any indie artist obscure enough to make her sound more interesting than she claims to be. In her words, "I contain multitudes, some sequins, some flannel."
Her rider is a whole production: seltzer water, w**e, Diet Coke, fancy hand care, lip gloss, a full hair and makeup team, wardrobe, and Chanel's Coco Mademoiselle on standby. Though for this first show with Volume Up, she says she's keeping it humble. (Sure, Juanita.)
On why she's supporting Volume Up: "Music shouldn't be a luxury item, and Volume Up is out here making sure kids across the Fox Cities get real music education and performance opportunities for free, not just the ones whose parents can afford lessons and instruments. That's the actual important part. The Sinatra tribute is just my way of pitching in with the skill set I've got, which is mostly enthusiasm and a strong sense of drama."
