TENEIA SANDERS - GOLD SESSION

The LBB Association proudly presents the first-ever Gold Session, the grand prize of our new talent-support initiative, the DEMO TAPE SESSIONS. This unique format was created to spotlight emerging artists, offering a real studio live experience with analog live recording and a large audience right in the recording room.

This exceptional opportunity is made possible thanks to the generous support of our sponsors VP Bank, RTM, and Sennheiser.

From the Top 5 finalists, Teneia Sanders earned her victory through your votes and the jury’s decision. Now it’s happening: on February 20th, you can experience Teneia Sanders live with her band at Little Big Beat Studios. It’s absolutely worth being there.
