The bestest!

#gsctuesdaytipday At GSC, Sheree teaches the life principles of **Recognition, Appreciation, and Validation.**

These are fundamental human needs we all share! Recognition and appreciation are typically expressed verbally, while validation is always something tangible and physical.

A great example of this is how we all continuously acknowledge and tell Patrick Dodge what a fantastic songwriter he is—this represents verbal recognition and appreciation. However, receiving an actual Josie Award for his songwriting? That's a tangible form of validation!

Always consider how you can recognize, appreciate, and validate the people who matter most in your life. Artists, this is an excellent tip for connecting with your audiences!

Meet Todd Young – a former Army vet with a passion for music! After graduating from the University of Tennessee and serving in the Army with honor (earning two Bronze Stars in Afghanistan and Iraq), Todd decided to pick up the guitar in 2019 after a life-changing Tool concert.

Fast forward to late 2022, he woke up with an entire song in his head and teamed up with his college buddy, Kelly Street, to bring “We Were Young” to life. The song has since gone viral, racking up over 90K views on YouTube and landing on the NSAI Top 40!

In just 1.5 years, Todd has self-released 6 songs under Young Street Music & his band The Vacantry. While he loves the heavy-hitting riffs of Alternative Rock, he finds himself inspired to write lyrics and melodies that span Pop and Country, too.

When discussing the benefits of being a GSC member, Todd highlighted the personal touch that Sheree offers. He said, "She actually picks up the phone and calls you to answer any questions you may have sent via email. She also does an excellent job of explaining what each A&R representative is specifically looking for before each GSC pitch event."
