Since I only had a 13-minute set, I chose to play “We Will Rock You” by Queen because it’s always fun getting the crowd involved! Assets helped me by teaching me how to advocate for myself and how to learn through the use of accommodations. I appreciate Assets School for always giving me opportunities to learn and perform music. I am truly grateful for the support they have given me throughout my music journey.” Way 2 Go Kapono!
