Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) November 20, 2014 -- In his Fast Company article, "Why Millennials Want to Work for Themselves," Dr. Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic writes, " Although millennials are expected to make up 75% of the workforce by 2025, a significant number will never be employees in the traditional sense [...] A new favorite career choice has emerged, which eclipses any other form of traditional employtment--working for themselves or launching their own business."

One such millennial is an independent artist that the Washington Post called "impressive" and "a talented musician" and who YouTube featured as the "Unsigned Pick of the Week" on their homepage: Maryland to New York City to Los Angeles transplant, alternative country singer/songwriter Kayte Grace. Grace, since graduating Columbia University in 2011 with a Creative Writing: NonFiction degree, has built an indie music career from the ground up by taking on the national tour booking, marketing, social media strategy, producing, graphic and web design, branding and music creation herself.
