Candice Redding: Oh summer was definitely Hot! At the beginning of the summer, I released a song called Throne, which was so great and such a wonderful experience working with my friend Myris. A lot of tours are always happening in the summer and I did a China tour which was really big and a whole lot of fun, it’s really great to be able to break into that market. Overall, I just think it’s really amazing to see the industry growing the way it is, there have been so many new festivals which are either in their first or second addition and it’s amazing to be a part of them.

India gives me the opportunity to interact with such huge masses of people. What’s special about this country is its people and I’ve met so many interesting people over the years that have really made an impression on my life. The only con that comes to mind is the pollution, it is not my friend at all but I get by.
