Said Common, “ When I look at music, I look for something special and unique. I felt that her music possessed this quality; it had soul and she was coming from a true place. She got it.”
Said Gadsden, “ I wrote a song called Your Season which is about reaching higher and pursuing your dreams, the topic of this Lincoln Spotlight competition, and I won. This weekend, the performance and everything was a dream come true; I felt like a star. Thank you Lincoln. Thank you Common.”
Ms. Gadsden began her music career at the age of 12 performing at school, church, weddings, and community events in her hometown of Charleston, S.C.

Since that time, Ms. Gadsden has been featured in a K-Swiss commercial and is credited as a back-up singer in the 2006 television movie “American Dreamz.”
