“I’m thrilled to be joining Livelihood Music Company and expanding my sphere into the role of publisher,” says Tamposi. “Stepping into this new role creates a perfect blend of my two greatest passions – songwriting and motherhood – requiring continuous nurturing and selfless devotion. I hope to empower and impart my knowledge to Livelihood’s up-and-coming songwriters while keeping the shared experiences of female songwriters genuine in the music.”
