There is or has been a budding music star in all of us at one time or the other. From a garage band hoping to become the next Jonas Brothers or Jackson Five to a church choir envisioning themselves as the next Kirk Franklin or Amy Grant and Crystal Lewis. Or it could have began as innocently as singing in the shower and doo-whopping anywhere that has a good echo. The dream to sing stays alive and all along we continuously ask ourselves: What if? Could I have if I had stuck with it or not listened to… Was I really as good as I thought? Did my friends’ and family’s slight jabs at my talent foster an insecurity within that eventually saved me from massive embarrassment or did it in fact derail a career and dream that could have been? It can happen, not just for music, but to any dream. Or is it as simple as you felt that no matter how spectacular you thought you were, it boiled down to not having the connections. Not knowing the right people in the right places at the right time.
4Tru, is an all girl singing group that began the way most singing groups begin, a bunch of thirteen year old friends saying, “hey, let’s start a singing group”. It makes one chuckle and smile when those words are said out loud because they are always followed by the next infamous and adolescent phrase which goes like this: ”Yeah, I bet we could be the next [Fill In The Blank]” But it’s okay. That is what dreams are made of. And guess what? Sometimes they do become the next whomever.
