THE 3-MINUTE INTERVIEW: Margaret Durante

Durante is a rising country music star with her roots in D.C. She is a 2006 alumna of Georgetown Visitation Preparatory School, and will be returning Saturday to perform at their “Dollars for Scholars” fundraiser. When did your interest in music begin?

I’ve been singing my whole life. I guess my love of music evolved due to the fact that I sang as a child and was always encouraged to sing. With singing came music and my interest in everything involving music.
