I spent nearly a decade with Beyonce and her all female band as the musical director and lead guitarist. I’ve always been a hard worker, but working that long with Beyonce took my work ethic up a few notches. It was an honor to be in a position to encourage and inspire so many up and coming women musicians across the globe.

Credit. Robin Harper Sasha Frate:Touring as lead guitarist for Beyoncé might be considered as having reached the ‘sky,’ as though you’ve made it to a ‘highest goal.’ For you however, the sky is NOT the limit, and you went on to dedicate some time to other passions of yours. What was most enriching from your experience performing with Beyonce, and what does it mean for you to “vibrate higher?” Bibi McGill: I spent nearly a decade with Beyonce and her all female band as

the musical director and lead guitarist. I’ve always been a hard worker, but working that long with Beyonce took my work ethic up a few notches. It was an honor to be in a position to encourage and inspire so many up and coming women musicians across the globe. In fact, I have heard from just about every demographic of people that seeing all us ladies up there rocking hard behind Beyonce motivated them to follow their own dreams and believe that anything is possible. To “Vibrate Higher” means to take full responsibility of one’s own energetic health. I do this by being aware of the people and activities

I involved myself with, the food I eat, the conversations I have, etc. I’m conscious of when my energy is leaking away from me as much as I’m aware of things that are raising and increasing my energy. SF: Aside from your own innate talent and time you’ve invested, who or what do you attribute your musical success to as having been most influential? BM: Well, my parents and my entire family have always been supportive of everything I do. I’m not sure I’d be where I am if it weren’t for them. www.facethecurrent.com
