On this episode of Things Around Town with Kareem we are talking with American Idol winner Candice Glover about SCAD's BAM! Black Artist In Music Celebration.
Glover’s journey from a small-town girl to a music industry sensation is a testament to her resilience and passion. “Coming off American Idol and being from the small-town St. Helena Island, SC, I was whisked away into Hollywood without knowing much about the music industry,” she recalls. “I just knew I wanted to be a singer.” This initial leap into the spotlight introduced her to a world filled with talented individuals who shaped her understanding of performance and entertainment.
With each performance, Glover has embraced her role not only as an artist but also as a mentor, particularly during her time at SCAD. “Bringing that experience to BAM and working with the students has been incredibly rewarding,” she says. Her commitment to nurturing emerging talent shines through as she prepares to guide the university's elite performance ensemble, The Bee Sharps.
