I'm a born and raised New Yorker; lived in Pelham for my first 6 years, and Somers for the past 21 years. Music has always been a passion of mine: singing, music videos, creating playlists for friends/family/co-workers, and of course listen to the radio. I was a News Director and On-Air Personality (Jess squared and DJ Poppins) at Western Connecticut State University's radio station (WXCI), but still do their social media while mentoring students. When I graduated college, I interned for i95 and Kicks 1055 for a year and got hired as a board operator, receptionist, Road Crew Member to cool promotion events, and now write these blogs! I'll provide you the latest about music, local events, and fun things in my daily life.
