***I lived in NYC from 2011-2018 years then I moved to Seattle in the summer of 2018. I love both cities...Seattle is a beautiful nature filled and peaceful place for me...but it still has enough of a big city feel. Nothing compares to the ENERGY of NYC so I still go back a lot.

3 Random Facts about me...

1) I used to have long beautiful locks, but after moving to NYC in 2011 (and starting a record label job with an abusive boss) I cut them off in a Britney Spears like blackout! lmao. (Edit 2022...I have regrown my locks after a decade!)

2) I've played the drums for most of my life and I've been working mostly on the business side of the arts (production, marketing, branding, management, publicity) for the last 10 years. That includes two record labels, 2 festivals, and like 500+ concerts across the US.

3) My cousin is Travis Scott. (I have never met him...but his grandmother was at my grandfather's funeral a few years ago in Texas...she said to me..."Oh you live in NYC too, do you know Travis?" I said "No mam, it doesn't work that way." lol

3.5) I cooked for and lived with Jennifer Lopez and a few of her closest friends for 3 days in 2015. I'll tell you that story in person. *p.s. I'd love to cook for you too!!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2011, I toured about 100 cities in the U.S with 3 different indie bands...Including an amazing band from MEXICO CITY. There are quite a number of amazing stories I could share with you from that experience.
