“My success so far is all down to the support ACE have given me over the past 5 years. When I came to ACE and made my first song, you helped me get it on the Radio, and things like this have given me the confidence to keep going. It’s so great to have support and validation from the ACE Staff, especially during times when my peers were putting me down. You guys have arranged so many opportunities to further me as an artist and I am now set to be financially stable as a musician. You guys are truly great!”
