Feeling Ravenous

By

In the heart of Downtown, an evening of live music, art, cocktails, food, and a crowd abundant in sophistication gathered.

Working with brothers, Drew and Cory Jacobsen of Ebanos Crossing in the heart of DTLA, we began to plan an event that would allow me to feature art, bring in a phenomenal band, work with the best tequila brand around, offer tasty bites, and encourage every guests to tap into all of their senses.

LA Meets Nashville

By

While there are major bands living and playing all throughout the city, there are smaller indie musical artists that take you by surprise.

1st Annual One Starry Night

By

PASADENA, CA – There are events that happen in life that you never forget: Your first crush, your first concert, your first victory – and if you’re lucky, you get to add meeting a few childhood inspirations to that list. Last night, invited to attend Pasadena Playhouse’s 1st Annual One Starry Night Benefit Concert, I not only experienced one of the most incredible benefit events to date, I met inspirations that are among the reasons I create – and – the reason most of us still believe in a little magic.
