Andrea Von Kampen - an American folk singer and songwriter - joins us on this episode of Celeb Savant. Andrea explains that she is surprised by the fact that being an artist in the industry has very little to do with actually creating music, how she approaches creating for projects for film and television, and how learning cover songs can assist with pushing an artist out of their comfort zone.
