After a long hiatus of not posting, I will be back with weekly post! Yes, it has been a while, but I've kept myself busy with multiple stage productions and concerts I've been working.
I miss being able to recap my experiences, so this blog will live on!
First and foremost, I will be attending the DaDa Land Compound at the Events Center at San Jose State University. My first post after my hiatus will be from there! I cant wait to start blogging again!

Meeting A-Trak
Hey Friends!
Last weekend, I had the amazing opportunity to meet A-Trak, one of the guys that inspired me to go into DJ-ing and scratching. Man, it was crazy seeing him walk into the room. I've watched countless YouTube videos of him, but seeing him in person was out of this world.
I tried my hardest not to fan girl, but when I talked to him, my voice started shaking because of how nervous I was. I gave him the perler necklace I made him, and he thought it was awesome. I asked him to sign my sunglasses and he was like "Soulja Boy Style?! HELL YEAH" Overall, it was an amazing experience meeting A-Trak, one of the humblest guys I've ever met.

Music Monday: Madeon-The City
Hello Friends!
For today's Music Monday, I am posting a song that I have absolutely been obsessed with this past week. It's an older song from one of my all time favorite producers, Madeon, WHO WAS JUST 18 WHEN HE MADE THIS. Yeah..... I love Madeon's sound. Here it is, The City by Madeon

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?! Pt. 2
Hey Friends!
Yes, it's been WEEKS since my last post. Let's just say school got the best of me. Juggling three classes, working events, and just catching up with friends has made little to no time for this blog, but now I'm free from school which gives me so much more time! Now, let's catch you all up on what has happened since my last post, and let me tell you, there has been A LOT.
The Alameda County Fair was in town! I got to spend some time with my friend's that I haven't seen in a long time! These were my little babies from Drama class, and now we're all in college doing our own things. Man, time really flies
Next up, I got to see the amazing documentary, Under The Electric Sky, produced by Insomniac. This film was scored by the magical wizard of music, Kaskade. The film was very good and the music flowed with the movie so seamlessly, that I felt like I was there at EDC experiencing everything with the main characters, rather than watching the main characters from a distance. Bravo to Insomniac, Haven and Focus Features!
Following that, I was lucky enough to work a crazy event, Finger Lickin Fort Mason in SF with my amazing group, the PLUR Angels. We are a non-profit group that raises awareness for safe raving by providing a buddy if you lose your friends, first aid, and other necessities to help you have a great experience. We also pass out waters in the venue because hydration is your best friend! I had an amazing time and I bumped into so many people that night! It was great seeing everyone having fun!
Last, but not least, I TURNED 20!!! YAY FOR AWKWARD AGES!!!
Well, I am forcing myself to write more on this blog and start doing it regularly, so I'll see you all tomorrow for a new post!
Cheers!

Where Have You Been?!
Hey friends!
Where have you been?
That's a good question. The reason I've been inactive on this blog is because Summer School started and it was just a bit more overwhelming than I intended it to be. I literally got socked in the face by al the school work and I'm constantly getting pushed back down, but I'll pull through.
This weekend was EDC! Man, was this year's a spectacle to see. MASSIVE stages and incredible artist. And unfortunately, some family matters came up and I was unable to attend. Insomniac was kind enough to set up live stream for people who have "FOMO" or Fear Or Missing Out. I sat at home watching the live stream and just imaging I was there partying it up with 140,000 people, but there's always next year.
In other news, I am going to see Bastille, Hardwell, Foster The People, Zedd, and Andy Grammer in the next couple months! I recently just bought tickets for their tours and man am I excited! Come join me!
Now that I'm getting a handle on things, post will hopefully be more frequent. *fingers crossed
See you all in tomorrow's post!

Stuck In My Head Saturdays: Silent-Paris and Simo
Hello Friends!
I haven chosen a track that is from one of my all time favorite producers and djs, PARIS AND SIMO. I had the honor of skyping with them a while back and they are super humble and all around awesome guys. They were the ones that inspired me to look into the Discovery Project because they themselves were winner of the Discovery Project in 2012.They have created this amazing track titled, Silent. It hasn't been released yet, but you can hear the preview in the video below. It was recently featured on Hardwell's radio show, "Hardwell On Air" and I knew it's going to be a hit. Check it out!
Silent comes out in TWO days!
