Turning Dreams Into Millions

About Me

I am the Founder and CEO/President of IndieMusicLounge.Com/IndieMusikChick.Com, BlackRaven Entertainment/BlackRaven Publishing, and BlackRaven Clothing Line. I try and stay busy and I am a very focused and even stubborn person at times. The works that I do I am very passionate about, which is why I am able to work so hard (and so much) on them. To me they're not work, but more like fun.
