Cue the applause! That’s a wrap on the SoFi Amplify Your Ambitions Contest 👏

We teamed up with Kelsea Ballerini and CMA to give $300,000 to three up-and-coming musicians—helping them move their music forward. Congratulations to our winner, Karen Hardy and our runners-up The Kentucky Gentleman and Shantaia. Thank you to all the contestants for sharing your talent, heart, and ambition with us.
