Talking with a frontline Optimist - Alice Smith

Singer/songwriter Alice Smith was nominated for a Grammy for best newcomer when she hit the scene with her highly original sound and powerful stage presence. Record label politics though went on to have profound consequences for her on both a professional and a very personal level. She explains how her people, her commitment to her art, and a relentless pursuit of authenticity allowed her to reconnect with herself and gain strength from that traumatic period to become the artist she is today.
