Life is too short, so get out there and live it!

About Me

Small town southern girl living in The Big Smoke. Have spent my entire life in the pursuit of happiness and music. Worked live music, indie label, major label, concert promotion, tv & film production, music research, club promotion and a general supporter of music. Love electronica, but LIVE is still best for me. The eternal rock chick who also loves the dance floor. Love, love, love Ibiza! Happiness is hanging with friends. Past few years have been crazy and fast paced but I wouldn't have it any other way. Looking for a job again... fingers crossed I can find something interesting again. My life is never normal. ;o)
