ABOUT
On-again-off-again music blogger since 2005. My first music blog took up just a tiny corner of a new, local tv station’s website. I was supposed to focus on speaking my mind about the stupidity of society, but then my friends in local bands started sharing their shows on MSN Messenger. Yes, I aged myself there. This is when I decided to use the platform I had to share their shows and new music.
Fast forward a few years, I was known as “Jersey Girl In Canada” on a Toronto-based online radio station that was called Jamsterdam Radio. I attended local shows and asked bands if they wanted to do interviews via voice notes on my phone. At times I had bands provide anticlimactic one-word answers, so I gave up interviewing for the most part and focused on reviewing.
After the radio days, I worked on tour with bands in the U.S., returned to Canada, and started my own music blog, which you see today. I cover songs from artists of all levels, all genres – as long as I dig the tune!
