As heard on The Debbie Nigro Show There's a hot new real estate migration trend picking up steam among Northeasterners and former Floridians: they’re becoming “Halfbacks”—people who moved to Florida, found it a little too much (too hot, too humid, too everything), and are now settling halfway back up the East Coast. Their happy medium? Coastal North Carolina. On The Debbie Nigro Show, I got the inside scoop from Jason Faulkner, General Manager of Kingfish Bay Development in Calabash, NC—one of the fastest-growing destinations for these lifestyle-minded movers that's just minutes...

info_outlineYou Know I Love a Girl Who Risks Her Dreams!
New York-based rising pop starlet Amanda Ayala risked auditioning for NBC's "The Voice" at only seventeen and her life was changed forever. Her new song was just came out and I play a little taste of it here in the interview on my live show the day before it was released.
So happy to introduce you to Amanda.
We bonded over taking risks!
Her 'single' is available on Spotify. It's called 'Seventeen'. It's a nostalgic summer anthem for anyone who misses their youth.
"When people listen to this track I truly hope it takes them back to that age, where they can reminisce on the simpler days when life was just carefree and abundant with those butterfly feelings".
(OMG Amanda don't let me get started about those young hot summer romances)
'Seventeen' is an engrossing pop production that draws parallels to the likes of Taylor Swift. The track was produced by Mark Matter, mixed by Mikaelin 'Blue', and mastered by Randy Merrill.
With two singles that have already reached Top 100 of the iTunes Rock Chart and Top 100 Hot AC, Amanda is well on her way to securing a spot in the limelight as an artist to watch in 2021 and beyond!
I hope you enjoy listening.
Great example of 'Risk It! Or Regret It!' Whatever IT is For you!
