She was one of those people who would do anything for you within 15 minutes of meeting you,” said Camus Celli, head of her label, Vel Records. “I think with all artists, that’s one of the hardest things to maintain without a buffer. You’re susceptible to so many things.” COVID-19 shutdowns were brutal for many musicians, with tours canceled, income dwindling and their families and communities adrift.
