"Keep dreaming. Start doing." -Jonathan Kramm
For the last few years I’ve been focusing on my own career in the entertainment industry.
I played Double Bass in one of the country’s top & largest high school symphony orchestras at Klein Forest in Houston, Texas from which I graduated in 1992.
After graduating college with a degree in Mechanical Design, I did my time in the corporate world with a completely unrelated job as one of the creators of continental.com (10 years in Marketing/Distribution at Continental Airlines) until I resigned in November 2005 to persue my music full time. I’m no dumb cookie! :)
For 6 years I worked nights marketing for the indie label ToneZone Records (Underground inc [from Invisible Records]/Caroline Distribution). For the same 6 years or so had my own night (the super-popular, always packed Wednesday retro 80’s night Pop Muzik with DJ Mike Snow) that I promoted at club Spy in Houston, TX. I am the creator and host of the multi-level & multi-themed dance club night "A Taste of SiN". I also have hosted & promoted shows (and the occasional fun home Texas Style bar-b-que LOL) for an insane amount of "name" band & artist friends.
Outside of the arts and work, I absolutely LOVE world travel, hiking in cool weather, horseback riding, dancing, cooking, stargazing, gathering with friends and curling up with somebody who is nice to watch a movie. I feel that I am flexible and a good listener, usually letting you know when I play ’devil’s advocate’ in a discussion, but will stand my ground if necessary. I’m generally very nice and try to get along with everyone.
