About Me |
|
| i'm from milwaukee, wisconsin, but now i live in los angeles. throughout the years, i've done a lot. hmm, let's see if i have enough room to tell you about it... when i was a child, i was entered into various piano recitals. i was never in plays, although i think it would have been a good experience. piano was my instrument. when i would get down about playing or practicing, i remember my mother always telling me that one day i'll be at a party and there'd be a piano. she would tell me that someone would ask if anyone can play the piano, and i'd be able to say that i can. she also told me that it would make me stand out of the crowd. it happened...more than once in my life. i went to a private high school and later to college, where i studied public relations. i wrote for the university's newspaper and co-hosted a radio show. in that time, i also worked for a commerical radio station. i graduated from college and kept on with commercial radio until i realized i could make real money elsewhere. so that's when i went to work for coca-cola. i did that for a few years until i moved into public releations. i did public relations for a bit and then focused all my energy on the music industry. i had managed music since college, and i had been writing music reviews for a music magazine, so it all seemed to fit right into play. i kept writing for that same music magazine when another magazine asked me to write for them, so i did. i was writing for both magazines and loved it - all the while, working at a record label. it was around this time that i managed to pull off what was impossible in my book: i was asked on stage by my music idols, Jane's Addiction. the actual backstory is beside the point, but i had done it. Perry Farrell himself asked me on stage. that event even got me the cover of a magazine some time later. so, my life in milwaukee was moving along when years later, the record label i was working for moved east. read about it in billboard magazine if you so wish. it's in one of my blogs. if action yields reaction, i reacted to my company's move east, by counteracting it by moving west. so, here i am. i live in hollywood. there's a star on the star walk with my f**king name on it. i see music all the time. all kinds of music, all the time. it's what i do. oh, did i mention i'm a publicist? yeah, it's what i do. i do publicity for big names and small. i have worked with grammy winners, nominees, academy award nominees, latin grammy winners and nominees, fashion icons and more. to be perfectly honest, music is in my blood. thinking back to my childhood, i always knew i'd work in the entertainment industry. now, here i am...and my mother said so. |
