Her creative involvement with music began when she picked up the drums at age 12 and started playing in bands. For the next seven years she was into classic rock punk music and all the hard music of the time. In 1994 her musical interests shifted to electronic music.

video is probably piling up too. It’s going to take me forever to edit and sort out my video from this year’s Detroit Electronic Music Festival considering that it comes as. mov off my camera and I don’t have anything that can convert out of that format into something more malleable and practical. I probably have about 2 GB worth of video from a 3-day event and that’s low quality.
In a Global World Can You Still Find ‘Local’ Bands?
ABC News – May 29, 2007
These scenes would serve as incubators for talent and provide one-stop shopping for record labels. Now thanks to MySpace and Internet radio webcasting bands don’t have to hang around local scenes for long before they get a global audience — if they’re good that is. For example Swedish electro-pop trio Peter Bjorn & John developed a fan base of taste makers thanks to a single link posted on music web site Pitchfork. Less than six months later their hit single “Young Folks” is playing in heavy rotation at major city Rock Stations and was recently featured in an AT&T ad. When everyone can record and distribute from home is there a role left for local music scenes?DJs and artists seem to agree that the answer is a qualified ‘yes. ‘Local and Global”The new local scene is a global music scene” said Chris Douridas a DJ for the taste-making radio station KCRW which also webcasts to a global audience. No one is a bigger advocate for finding music on MySpace than Douridas who frequently scours band pages and sifts through mountains of emails from bands who want to be played on his show.
Jeffree Star regains reign of the electro-pop scene at Bitoz Pizzeria
UAA Northern Light – May 29, 2007
As the song reaches the climax screaming girls mark the presence of Jeffree Star before he even takes the stage. As a tall slender leotard-wearing pink-haired figure rounds the corner the screaming intensifies to a sound that could rival a jet engine. The music stops abruptly and the figure grabs a microphone and with the air of royalty climbs on top of an amplifier and asks “All right do you guys want to f— me?” A momentous uproar from the crowd confirms Jeffree Star’s arrival. If words could describe Jeffree Star’s music it would be “talking while techno plays in the background. ” “Singing” crowd favorites such as “Straight Boys” and “Eyelash Curlers and Butcher Knives” he snatched cameras from hands near the stage to take MySpace pictures and invited The Hoons on stage to take off their shirts and dance while grazing the outstretched hands of eager young fans… The dark-clothed ready-to-rock crowd that has become a mainstay at Bitoz mingled with young girls dressed in Gottchalks apparel as they waited for Jeffree Star. Jeffree Star returned to Anchorage May 19 after receiving much acclaim last year at Bitoz. “If words could describe my excitement right now it would involve a lot of bad words. But they would be bad words used in a good way” said Tiana Garner 16 from West High School. “I would die for Jeffree Star” added Isaiah Gaines 17 from Diamond High School. Before the overly eager attendees filed into the building the first opening band Twelve ‘clock High began their set-up. “Fabulous” is how the band described what it’s like to open for Jeffree Star.
