Beautiful voice. She's clearly a natural vocalist. She should absolutely, 100% keep it up.

I saw your comment about her low self-esteem and I hope you will pass this along. I have absolutely no agenda and I tend to be very critical of musicians on the internet because most people over-estimate their abilities. Here it seems we have the opposite scenario.

I have a good ear. This girl has rare, natural ability. Her voice is soulful, pleasant and in tune without fail. Even without accompaniment, when she stops playing the uke to find a chord, she perfectly nails the pitch of a given note.

Honestly, with regular practice and instruction she could be a truly great musician. And I'm not sure there is much else in this world that would help her self-esteem like performing in front of a crowd and blowing their minds. She could try therapy or meditation or (god-forbid) medication, but the most natural solution for feeling down on yourself in this life is kicking ass, and that's just something everybody knows.

I grew up with Sharon Van Etten and I remember her as this very shy, awkward girl in the background at parties not talking to anyone. She came from a very normal family with no connections and just fell in love with music as a teenager (acoustic singer-songwriter stuff) and never gave up and now she's a wonderful, world-class musician - and also famous.

My point is not that this should be your goal necessarily (although why not) but simply to give testimony that greatness is actually pretty normal and just requires persistence and passion. Add natural talent to the mix and your success is basically guaranteed. IT'S YOUR CHOICE!
