THE PURSUIT BEGINS WHEN THIS portrayal OF LIFE ENDS...

About Me

I'm an international traveler...originally from Boston, I have lived in Atlanta (where my parents adopted me), Los Angeles, and I now reside in Toronto. I hope to soon become a Canadian citizen like my Daddy. I have 2 sisters, Harley and Nisha, and a big brother Isaiah, and our favorite activity is walking to the beach. They all swim, but I just like to rest my belly on the rocks, chill and let the water pour over me.
My job is A&R dog and official greeter for The Pocket Studios in Toronto. It's a tough job, and I work very hard, but at the end of the day, it's all worth it when I can curl up and snuggle with my family. That's our second-favorite activity.
It's busy as ever at work these days! Evans Blue's 2nd album THE PURSUIT BEGINS WHEN THIS portrayal OF LIFE ENDS is in stores and selling well, with the first single "The Pursuit" continuing to climb the charts and react at radio. The band is on the road in the US with Framing Hanley and Submersed, and I miss them terribly. At least they continue to write on the road and send me songs to listen to while they are away!

Daddy is in New York this week with our newest artist, Vaeda, doing pre-production for their debut album, which they will record in The Pocket in October/November/December. At the top of September, he will be back in Toronto and in the studio with our Quebec City-based band PUR...we have been waiting for months for them to finally get here to record and can't wait to bring their debut album to life. In My Coma continues to write, rehearse and look for players to complete their lineup and should be ready to record their debut EP in early 2008.
With all this action, I must say that if the summer has been SIZZLING, this Fall is going to be on FIRE!

My Interests

YOGA, fashion-I have several outfits, listening to music, going to the hair or nail salon with Mommy, guiding tours of the studio, lap-warming, long walks, sleeping in, and snuggling.

I'd like to meet:

People who will rub my belly.

Music:

Evans Blue is my absolute favorite band, but I also love The Jayhawks, Keith Urban, Dixie Chicks, Cool For August, Jason Mraz, Nelly Furtado, Rhett Miller, Chocolate Genius, King's X, and Andrea Bocelli.

Movies:

My Mom cried during "Click," that was FUNNY!

Television:

The Daily Show (Jon Stewart is SO hot!); The Colbert Report; 24 (Kiefer=also SUPER hot!); What Not To Wear (I wish that Clinton and Stacy would makeover me and Mommy!); and Miami Ink (Kat Von D is simply GORGEOUS and Chris Garver is simply FABULOUS, I hope to meet him one day when he tattoos my Mom).

Books:

I don't like to read...it puts me right to sleep.

Heroes:

Simon Cowell...for having the guts to voice what everyone else knows but is afraid to say.
