Association of Independent Artists - Chicago

About Me

Welcome to the Chicago chapter of the Association of Independent Artists! My name is SassDeluxe (Christy Tuttle if you prefer formalities), and I am your rep for the Chicagoland area and also Boston, MA...and the Director of Artist Development with the AIA.
I started with the AIA in February of '07 because of my obsessive passion for music...and not just any music, independent music. I belive in the little guys...the music streaming in from our own backyards...it is the greatest music out there, and it is our job to give indie and unsigned bands a place where they can come and be heard, get promoted, and get in contact with music professionals that can help their music reach fans they never dreamed possible...Feel free to check out my personal page if you want to know more about me...my interests and passions are vast. I am also a photographer , and you will find my pics on SassPhotography.
