Berg will head to Nashville alongside his dad, who has overseen his career every step of the way, including vetting the record label to ensure their message to his son was legitimate. Upon their visit, Berg will find out how many songs he will produce.
The pop singer has been performing since he was 10 years old. His downtime during the pandemic inspired him to write his latest single, It Ain含羞草研究社檛 Over.
含羞草研究社淲hile so many people got caught up in complaining about everything when COVID hit, I was more interested in those stories of people helping one another or coming together to lift each other up. Those were the good things we got from this pandemic and so I really wanted to write a song that focused on that, on the good in humanity that came through during all this,含羞草研究社� said Berg.
He was also recently nominated for the City of Kelowna含羞草研究社檚 Civic Award for Teen Honour in the Arts, recognizing his charitable donations to organizations by raising money through his performances.
