To enter to win, just:
- Register using the form, below: Form closes Monday May 6th

A meet and greet/question session will take place on April 20th at 9am Hawaii Standard Time/8pm West Africa Time. J.Lyn will be joining us from Hawaii, and Davani will be joining from Nigeria. They are the dynamic pair who have continued working together since they were paired up in the song swap and have achieved great success. We believe their story will be inspiring for potential participants!
