Take a look at the first name on the list of musical performers at the Lexus booth for the 2016 Chicago Auto Show... Hanna Ashbrook.

Hanna was my daughter's "stand mate" in Orchestra during middle school and high school. They both played violin. When they were young, they made a recording (singing) at my home studio. Hanna decided to go into music as a career and my daughter went on to pharmacy.

Hanna's step mom is also a Balanced Exposure student! I mentioned the coincidence to her and she was surprised! Also, two of Hanna's songs were used as "jingles" in the two most recent Nutela TV commercials. Listen for them the next time you see a Nutela commercial!

Hanna was at the Lexus booth because she recently participated in "The Voice" on TV. Didn't win, but still... not bad, eh? She played guitar and sang. She asked me for photos from that old recording session from middle school years, but I didn't know why she wanted these old photos. Little did I know that she needed it for submission to "The Voice." Luckily, I still had the photos from that recording session and also some photos of her when she was in competition during some of the violin contests from middle school.

Kids... amazing, huh?

Here's a link to Hanna's Nutela commercial. It's her song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bME8ZWwpEUQ
