I was always on the lookout for songs that were not being played on the radio in our area. While on a cruise in Bermuda in May 2002, I heard the song "Turn Me On" by KEVIN LYTTLE. I searched Bermuda high and low for the cd, which was entirely sold out. I came home and immediately called CJ (96.1 KISS FM MORNING SHOW DJ) and he said he hadnt heard of him or the song, but would research it. Needless to say, years later the song became a HUGE hit in the US and on 96.1 KISS FM.
In 2006, I was fortunate enough to meet and work with one of the most successful local artists ever..THEORY...I was at Media Play several months prior to meeting him and was very impressed with his performance and overall demeanor. He is an amazing performer!! I bought his cd that day and continued to play it day in and out for months. He had one song in particular, "A Soldiers Heart" that I really admired. Around the same time, I had received several demo cds from local artists. I had arranged a meeting with JIMI JAMM, the music program director at 96.1 KISS FM, for him to listen to the demos. While there, I had mentioned that I had heard THEORY's song "HINDI 500", but not "A SOLDIERS HEART". He said he wasnt familiar with it, but after hearing it, was VERY impressed. He said he would have it played on the night show with SHREK. What I didnt know was that Theory had already arranged to be on the morning show with CJ within days of me going up there. I sent Theory an email and explained to him what I had done. We met that week and I was afforded the wonderful opportunity to work with him as a Public Relations Rep. I was responsible for being the liason between his manager JAREK and any potential media personnel. Theory was the hottest thing to hit the Hudson Valley Area since SHAKSPIR. His single, "A Soldiers Heart" was the number one requested song in the Hudson Valley for weeks and the FIRST UNSIGNED ARTIST to ever hit number one in 96.1's history. He was also had 2 more tracks off of "Plan B" to be played in rotation on 96.1 KISS FM. THEORY made several local appearances, to include opening for NEYO in April 2006.
Due to the popularity of THEORY, I began receiving phone calls, demos and emails from local artists asking for help with promoting their music. THEORY moved on to bigger and better opportunities and I began to work with more local artists, to include MEANSTREETZ, G BLAQUE, DUPREME, GNC, JEY V AND CANO, C SPEARS, and artists in NYC, to include BANKY, BIG LAW, CHRIS LIVE, MEL LOVE and the HATEMONEYRADIO staff, which consists of J HATCH, DRAWZILLA AND DJ BEDTYME. DRAWZILLA, who is an amazing producer, has taught me so much since meeting him. He has also given me the opportunity to have artists that I have worked with air play and radio interviews on their #2 INTERNET STATION..HATEMONEYRADIO. They also have a showcase, FACES IN THE CROWD, which I consider to be one of the most successful/legitimate showcases in the industry.
In May 2006, I began working with the DIGITAL ASSAULT TEAM, as a Promoter. We did several events in the Hudson Valley area. DJ H BOMB, DJ RAYZA AND DJ PURE, are three of the hottest DJs in the area. I became famous for my "DJ PUREEEEEEEEE" DROP" in DJ PURE'S 96.1 KISS FM MORNING MIXES..(If you want to hear, check out the mixes on his page :-) )
I also have been blessed to have met NEYO, my first time being when THEORY opened for him last year and then again through my friend and NEYO PROMOTER..."MISS NEYO". KATELYNN has allowed me to tag along in her duties while NEYO was doing the UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL TOUR in 2006. He is an amazing person, father and artist. He also has a great management team, DJ (and artist SIXXJOHN) and dancers (especially TENILE..luv ya gurl).
My biggest accomplishment so far is to work with ICE PIRATE and LORD HAVE MERCY. LORD HAVE MERCY, former member of FlipMode Squad and now the CEO of his own label, SWORD & SHIELD RECORDS, is a true soldier of the industry. ICE PIRATE is an amazing friend, producer, song writer and dont be fooled...he can sign his behind off!! lol :-) LORD HAVE MERCY AND ICE PIRATE are icons in the music industry. They have allowed me an opportunity to work side by side with them and some of the best artists and producers in the industry. I am currently serving as their administrative assistant and I look forward to what LORD HAVE MERCY/ICE PIRATE have in store for this industry very soon! This is going to be my year, excuse me..OUR YEAR!! SWORD & SHIELD...WELCOME TO A BETTER WAY OF LIFE!!
