Drawn to the calling of singing and dancing, her family soon enough had a large collection of her impromptu dance sessions in their living room \u2014&nbsp;all captured on their VHS recorder.&nbsp;<\/h2>\n<h2>In her journey as a singer, songwriter, and performer, Blossom has dabbled in everything from playing steel drums to being in an R&amp;B girl group in Los Angeles. While there isn&#8217;t a clear A to B line of success,&nbsp;it was all the in-between that tells Blossom&#8217;s story, leading to her arrival and emergence as the artist she is today.&nbsp;<\/h2>\n<h2>We&#8217;re proud to feature Blossom as our second artist in our artist profile series for 2018.
