Welcome to my music blog. In case you don’t know me, I have been writing for the past 20+ years. I have loved music, books, film and theater all my life, and have grown to especially love works by independent artists. I have dedicated my writing career to covering, promoting and supporting those artists and works. I am always looking for new ideas to cover. Currently, you will find articles on Women in Entertainment, Get it or Forget it reviews, Artists Worth Checking Out interviews, LA Music Critic Awards, Monday Mashup playlists and See it or Skip It theater reviews, as well as previews, backgrounds and profiles of indie artists and their works.
