About Me


I am inspired by talented people who follow their dreams. I would describe myself as not only a fan of independent artists, but a huge supporter as well. I have been fortunate enough to cross paths with extremely talented musicians, bands, artists and people within the entertainment industry and I'm grateful after all these years, to still count on them as friends.

Working in radio taught me things I probably would have been better off not knowing but, thanks to the patience of many and seemingly endless hard work - I've learned, grown and so far, haven't lost my faith in people or my passion for networking.

"The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side." Hunter S. Thompson
