Looking forward to running Summerversity courses in the new White Lion recording studio!
Huge thanks to @LittleSimz for coming back here last week to open our new recording studio. “This is really, really special for me. Lift, back when it was White Lion, was definitely the foundation for me in how I began my journey". bit.ly/L1ftSimz
