He goes on to add, “What I tell her and what is so resonant to me about her is not only has she had a great career and had lots of hits, but singers love Brandy. They all look up to her and she’s so influential to other singers. For a show like ours where it’s all about mentoring singers, for them to see her when they walk in the room … it’s just a magical moment every time.”
