About Me

So...I'm pretty uninteresting...I have a degree in Philosophy, which means I am probably going to live in a box, but i'll ask a lot of questions along the way! I am currently employed in Human Resources, but hate it, so i'm heading back to school to learn french and eventually become a french teacher! In my spare time I produce/host a Canadian specialty show on a really cool online radio station based out of New York, called BreakThru Radio.If you are a Canadian indie band and you are interested in being played on my show, send me a MESSAGE either on myspace or at [email protected] - I would love to hear from you!The shows are archived, and playlists are up on my blog if you want to see what other amazing Canadian bands have been involved thus far!

My Interests

Brampton bands, going to shows, www.breakthruradio.com, discovering new bands, Revival/Mod Club, CBC, Call The Office, Alex P. Keaton, Valleycore, Value Village
