Wanting to stay true to her musical soul early on in life -entering and winning but a few competitions, not being a huge fan of them- Pamela Smits is setting her own mark in the music world, not following the common paths, but cutting out her own path.

"Competition is for horses, not artists."
-- Béla Bartók
