Kemi Adegoroye ’13 is a singer-songwriter based in the D.C. metro area with a music career that spans multiple genres. Kemi is frank about what pursuing a career in music looks like day to day. “80-90% of the work isn't playing music,” she said. “It's sending emails, making phone calls, putting Doodles and schedules together, putting out Instagram posts, reaching out to publications, and networking.” Throughout our conversation, though, Kemi stressed how fulfilling it has been to put in the work toward her longtime dream.
