Wendy Starland is a multitalented and inspiring woman. From New York City, she now calls LA home now and manages two very distinct careers: music and modeling. It was her babysitter, a soulful woman from South Carolina that influenced Wendy with music. And by the time she was in high school, she knew music was going to be a big part of her life. She discovered and developed Lady Gaga, and in this episode, Wendy opens up about that. She also talks what led her to do modeling.  And she also drops some practical life applications, something that we can all glean from.
