Who is Janis Joplin from Small Steps and what is their importance?

Sixties rock star, Janis Joplin, died of a drug overdose in her early thirties and remains an iconic figure in music. A rebel with a unique voice and stage presence, Joplin's passion for both singing and raw emotion in that singing was and remains an inspiration for pop/rock musicians. Hearing a Joplin recording is, for Kaira DeLeon, a trigger for important realizations and similarly important decisions about how she wants to live her life and create her music.
