META PERFORMANCE SHOW

| Star of Amazon series “Upload” and accomplished singer/songwriter/guitarist Andy Allo discusses moving to the states from West Africa and the steps that led her to finding success as a performer. Novus Global coach Jason Jaggard and Andy talk about failing forward, the power (and responsibility) that comes with being aware of your natural gifts, why serving and empowering others opens up possibilities, and how practicing her skills and putting in the reps enabled Andy to seize an unexpected, career-making opportunity that arose at an afterparty when Prince invited her to sing with him onstage. Andy shares fascinating stories from working on TV shows and in Prince’s band and what she learned from the unconventional methods he used to push his band members to improve, grow and level up to Meta Performance™.
