What does it take to "make it" in the music industry today? You'd think that a great voice, catchy hooks, cute front man and massive passion and hard work would be enough. But in this industry, there seem to be other factors that come into play. Like...who knows, but whatever it is, it is definitely unfortunate. But I guess at the same time, this is what makes those who continue to go after their dreams, in spite of the obstacles, so inspiring. 

It is one of the reasons why, I'm interviewing Ben Deignan, a singer songwriter from Atlanta who despite having, or being all of the above, is still searching and patiently waiting on the rest of the world to figure out how amazing of a talent he is. While working on his music he also is on the Board of Directors for the Lance Tilton Foundation contributing his time and name to getting the word out there about the Atlanta based Foundation that bears the name of Ben's former drummer who died last year in a car crash.

Lance Tilton Foundati

A daughter, a sister, a wife, a mother, a sales consultant and a Co-Founder of The Lance Tilton Foundation, these things are all apart of what make Ginger Tilton-Heise who she is. Her days begin between 5-6 a.m. and end pretty late…her off days are during the week, therefore working when the rest of us are playing; and yet she’ll work even harder if this means that her dreams for The Lance Tilton Foundation can come to fruition. She is rather successful at what she does in the Dallas/ Fortworth area of Texas. The hard work she puts into her job as a Sales Consultant with Bud Bartley Homes/Stillbrooke Homes affords her the time and resources to volunteer with the foundation she helped found in June of last year.

It is this that she is most passionate about, and what she wants to speak of more than anything else.
