Through the camp experience Thilo was introduced to the amazing singer, musician, and producer David Ryan Harris who helped Thilo become a creative songwriter and storyteller.  When the camp concluded Thilo traveled to Los Angeles, California to meet with David and work on some original songs.  Thilo is currently working on a number of originals that can be used as demos.  Of course his fans all hope that this compilation of music will soon turn into a CD that Thilo can share with all of us!

While I can’t yet share what I was privileged to privately hear, I can tell you that Thilo ‘s new sound is beyond amazing!  His creativity and distinct musical sound is about to turn the heads of many professionals in the industry.

I caught up with Thilo this past week and asked him to tell us a little about his summer adventure. The following is Thilo’s story, in his own words, about his amazing life changing summer experience at Prodigy Camp.
