After all, it’s the voice of experience you are hearing, and isn’t experience said to be the best teacher?

From Front-Act Queen, Dessa could have evolved to become the concert scene’s next Sold-Out Queen. But then again, this immensely gifted girl soon fell in love and became a mom (and later a single mom).
