What magic can happen when you let yourself have fun and express your honesty? Grammy Award-winning, multiplatinum-selling singer-songwriter Colbie Caillat and musician Jason Reeves have spent the past 12 years adjusting to fame when their single Bubbly became a worldwide hit. Their cowriting journey merely began as awkward teens who just had a shared passion for making songs that spoke true to them, and that raw authenticity has led them to multiple chart-topping albums and singles. They share how to embrace your imperfections and mistakes, and serve your audience by sacrificing the comfortable, and letting the spotlight shine on the real you.
