I've no time for fair-weathered friends and jaded passers-by.

About Me

Well, I love music and I work in music so isn't it cool that I get to do what I love?

It started in Nashville as a publicist for a small Music Row firm, where I worked on media campaigns for Billboard Books, country artist Jeff Bates and country music legend, Charley Pride . A move to artist management and publishing found me working with such big names as Diamond Rio, BR549 and Keith Urban as well as liaising with Capitol Records, Arista Records and Lyric Street Records. I also spent an enormous amount of time in Writer Relations at a successful indie publisher working one on one with multi-platinum selling artist/songwriter Keith Urban and multiple Grammy winner Soggy Bottom Boy, Harley Allen, among others.
In 2002, I was put to the task of handling Publicity and Production in the U.S. for famed Australian comedian, Kevin "Bloody" Wilson which led to me spending six months in Australia.
In 2003, I returned to the States in time to help create and ultimately become a partner in Dan Workman Music also affiliated with sister companies, SugarHill Recording Studios and Essential Sound Mastering Studio . These facilities turned out amazing hits from the Big Bopper, Freddie Fender, George Jones and many more.
In Feb 2006 I broke away from that tribe to helm a new venture Miscellaneous Music Group to handle day to day management, PR and booking for several Texas acts in Country, Rock and Gospel. I was also the talent buyer for live music venue Cosmos Cafe in Houston, TX.
Currently I am a Senior Product Manager and A&R Manager for Compadre Records and Music World Entertainment. Company artists include Billy Joe Shaver, James McMurtry, Trent Willmon, Beyonce, Lyfe Jennings and Destiny's Child. I also handle day to day artist management for Billy Joe Shaver.
Currently working on a killer project, check it out!!

My Interests

Livin' life with my babe. Awwww.....ain't we cute?????

Debunking everyone's obsession with perfection. It's not about perfection....just what's perfect for me. I think people would be happier if they realized that.

Sacred love over profane love

Seeing the Aurora Borealis

Figuring out why people are so afraid to go after something they want.

Constellations

Boys!

Shoes!
(just kidding, but this is funny)

I'd like to meet:


"And as soon as you've rearranged the mess in your head, he will show up looking sane...perfectly sane...if I know Crazy."

Intelligent people who don't feel compelled to wave it around 24/7. Those of integrity who take care of their shit and treat others with respect especially in times of adversity.

My #1 crush...an amazingly talented gorgeous person.

Tori Amos....cuz she is awesome.

Brandon Boyd.....cuz he's one of the last beautiful boys on earth.

Courtney Love....cuz she needs her ass kicked.

Shirley Manson....cuz she is a bad ass.

Josh Homme....because he has THE sexiest voice in rock n roll

Jeff Buckley....cuz he feeds my soul.

..

Music:

My acting debut in a video by a band I managed for 4 years. I actually made it on IMDB as the "Hot Librarian" LOL

Southern Backtones "Forever" Music Video from W. Ross Wells on Vimeo .

Anything that doesn't suck. I mean come on, how long would that question take to answer? I like all sorts really. Rock, Classic Rock, Modern Rock, Goth Rock, Hard Rock, Rockabilly, Traditional/Honky Tonk Country, Bluegrass, Jazz, Soul, Funk, Blues...duh. I think I covered them all eh? Faves include David Bowie, Nina Simone, Fleetwood Mac and Stevie (Nicks, that is...), Coldplay, Steadman, ELO, NIN, Muse, Jeff Buckley (of course), Elliot Smith, Beck, Heart, BRMC, Leonard Cohen, Tori Amos, Fiona Apple, Edie Brickell, Allison Krauss, Garbage, Poe, The Kinks, PJ Harvey, Queen, Bad Company, QOTSA, Neil Young...and so many others that I really have to ponder it for a while... :-)

A Perfect Circle...RAWKS!

Movies:

Another ridiculous question...but let's see, some that I've revisited recently that I love.....Star Wars Trilogy (the first one), The Illusionist, Goodfellas, American Beauty, Lord of the Rings, Interview with the Vampire, Men In Tights, The Jerk, Dracula, A Beautiful Mind, The Usual Suspects, O' Brother Where Art Thou?, Troy, Underworld, Good Will Hunting, History of The World, The Age of Innocence, This is Spinal Tap, Twister, Titanic, The Muppet Movie, Gladiator, The Princess Bride, From Dusk Til Dawn and The Scarlet Letter. I love films that make you think. And period films....especially soppy, romantic ones. Anything Mel Brooks or Monty Python totally cracks me up. And I love Vampires...

Television:

OK, my boyfriend and I got hooked on Rock of Love. How pathetic are we? But it's just so damn stupid. I mean, psychos and titty dancers fighting over Bret Michaels with his beer belly and stringy faux hair. That is some serious entertainment. LOL.Though I have a weakness for X-Files reruns at 4am, I am a firm believer that television sucks the life out of you and is evil....however I will often stop on a game of Texas Hold 'Em and I try to never miss my favorite SNL skits:

"Guess what? I got a fever...and the only prescription is more cowbell"

Or our favorite South Park Moments.....

The Theory of Evolution

"It's easy..m'kay?"

And I really miss the ingenius antics of The Muppet Show...

Manamana....

The Swedish Chef

Whose Line Is It Anyway
....makes me laugh out loud...every....single....time.

Books:

Boycotted books for a while - high school and college really wore me out on the "required" reading. I recently read The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand and plan to read Atlas Shrugged and The Mists of Avalon soon. Also love horror and suspense...Dean Koontz, Stephen King...The Talisman is one my favorites.And I don't care what anyone says, I love me some Harry Potter. I mean how much fun is that stuff to read? VERY! YAY, I love my inner 10 year old.

Heroes:

My Mom - for raising me to be such a strong woman.

My Dad - for giving me such a warped sense of humor.

And all of those who dare to enter the Lion's Lair...for I know I am a handful, but totally worth it! (thanks Mom!) ;-)

My friends and family are my heroes...those who have been there through thick and thin and still remain. And what is life without the people you share it with? Nada.
