Firing off her formidable beatboxing skills, musician Butterscotch serenades -- over a hauntingly beautiful backtrack made live on stage -- and shares pieces of her own story as a shoutout to those struggling through dark times. "We have to be compassionate with ourselves, allow acceptance for who we are -- even on our worst days when we're still doing our best," she says.
