A little bit about me. I'm originally from Tucson, AZ and I started listening to dance music when I was 12. There was a spot called the Velvet Tea Garden in my home town where DJ's played trip hop records, drum n bass, trance, and jungle and I could dance my heart out. My early musical influences were Portishead, Massive Attack, Tricky, Bjork, Sneaker Pimps, Morcheeba, Tori Amos, Kate Bush, Tool, Nine Inch Nails, Daft Punk, Sasha & Digweed, and Sigur Ros. Music has always been such a huge part of my life.

I'm a classically trained vocalist and performed with the AZ Opera Company throughout high school. I have a performing arts degree from Boston University and the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts. I moved to LA to be an actress and singer but after a short time found myself behind the camera as a producer. I've been producing television shows here for 8 years but found myself immersed in our incredible dance music community.

After a few years of attending events and meeting so many incredible DJ's and performers I wanted to throw my own events and get more involved. Thunderbird began as a desert party in Joshua Tree, CA with a few dear friends and has grown to an amazing boutique festival.

 

I went back to school at UCLA to study music law and music management and understand the way the music industry is changing with technology and how to help grow my artists careers. I feel so blessed and honored to represent such incredible DJ's and producers and to be able to host events that provide memories and experiences for others. I'm also currently collaborating on a few music projects as a vocalist. This truly makes me happy from the bottom of my heart. I know that Thunderbird will continue to grow and thrive with all of your support.

 

Here's to dreaming, building and dancing. Rave to the grave
