“This is a love story. And, oddly enough, it starts with an interstellar space mission and a golden record.”
For all of you lovebirds out there, for the love weekend.

New Music Strategies (or my life in a nutshell)
I’ve been doing a lot of research on the ways we can empower ourselves as artists in a world that offers all the tools we need but where little blips can get lost in the din.
Thankfully, the more I learn, the more i realize that I’m on the right path. Thank the gods for the internet and for all the blessed geeks that make it happen. I wanna be a geek when I grow up.
