      Nels- who do you think will win the sibling backer-off? Its not like Lars is connected to the whole world or Peter basically has all of Bethel in his back pocket. I think I'll play the support the creative vision of an artist card, you know my "people" are all about that! SO PROUD OF YOU BROTHER!

      I would say that fact that I am the first sibling to be a "backer" is a pretty clear indication of who is going to take home 1st place

Connected as Nels Leafblad (1572 friends)

My name is Nels Leafblad. I was born and raised in the Twin Cities, MN, and graduated from Bethel University in St. Paul, MN with a degree in Biology. Growing up, I had a very musical family, and those traits were passed on to me. I sing and play guitar, and a little piano on the side. In December of 2010, I went out to Hollywood for American Idol and had an absolute blast, even though I didn't quite crack the Top 24. I'm thrilled to keep making music and performing.
