Interview with Maxi Curnow


Love Music: Tell us a little bit about yourself. Your background, education, music passion etc. ??

I started guitar when I was 9, I would’ve loved bandmates but I grew up in a small rural village - so it became really important to learn how to record myself and play different instruments to make music independently! Through school I was recording other people and hosting gig nights, I was obsessed. When I was about 17 and started visiting London, I was lucky to learn as an assistant for Tim Laws and also at Ronnie Scotts Jazz Club, eventually going on to work with both in a professional capacity. This was alongside a Music Production Degree at ACM, although I always preferred the hands on experience! After I left ACM I worked with a lot of bands alongside training/joining as a Firefighter - I’d compose music in a studio nearby and then rush to the fire station whenever my pager went off! After 4 years I got an injury, and decided to commit to music and filmmaking full time. 


Love Music: can you please share with us your music production work?

There’s been a great mixture of genres, products and clients over the years. I do the music production on all of my own work which I love for the flexibility and range of sound one can achieve. That extended to mixing for bands and production music for TV/Film, and product development for Spitfire Audio; working intimately with the audio on Hans Zimmer, Abbey Road and Ólafur Arnalds projects. I also work at a Mastering Engineer, so a lot of music comes through my door!


Love Music: Your favourite project as a Mastering Engineer?

“Fire By The Silos” by Toska - Rabea Massaad is an incredible writer and that album was such a joy to work with.


Love Music: What's the reason behind choosing this profession ?

It started as a means to fund my own music, but I quickly discovered the joy and creativity of learning all the crazy and incredible things you can do with Pro Tools. I find production to be fascinating, I love playing with different sonic flavours to completely transform a song into whatever you want/need it to be. It feels like magic sometimes.


Love Music : What has been one of the most exciting achievements of your career so far ?

Learning when my music had been featured on certain TV shows was amazing, especially ones that I personally enjoy. I’m happy to say that there are a fair few, Louis Theroux particularly stood out! Working on Hans Zimmer projects with Spitfire was also very special. 


Love Music: What’s your goal in life you want to achieve next?

I want to make a musical, bit in a slightly different way than people might expect! I’m also excited to share some collaborations on my next album.


Love Music: Did you choose this industry, as a career, or as a hobby?

I suppose both - Since I can remember it’s all I’ve done, I can’t imagine doing anything else! I’ve always been intrigued by a mixture of things within production, so it’s never felt dull. 


Love Music: Your fav. Song?

Grace, Jeff Buckley


Love Music: Are you active on social media?

Interview with Psychodelic Caravan


Psychodelic Caravan is a Kansas City, Missouri based classic rock cover band comprised of music scene veterans performing everyone’s fave blues & classic rock radio hits. The guys are currently busy writing a few original songs and preparing for an early 2024 international release. 


Hello Brion, thank you for being with us today! Let's start from the very beginning. How long has Psychodelic Caravan been performing shows together?

Brion Holcomb: It'll be 7 years this November when we first started getting together and rehearsing songs and seriously putting the band together to go out and start hitting clubs. With the long-term goal of doing original music as well. But we spent a couple months in the basement and our first gigs weren't until the following Spring.


How many members are in the band and what are their names?

Brion Holcomb: We're a three piece rock band from the Kansas City, Mo. area. All veteran players who each have had their own musical paths that have made us the player's we are today. On drums, vocals, dazzling socks & The Bus Driver is "Smokin' Doug Thompson. Bass guitar, vocals & most of our limited choreography are handled entirely by Mr. Allen Brooks. I fill in the rest of the sonic space with some stand out footwear, vocals and a guitar that goes from Sweet to Blazing (depending on the song)!


Where does the band mostly play?

Brion Holcomb: Over the years we've played a lot of the clubs on the east side of the Kansas City, Missouri area. Quite a few of which are not in business anymore, but we still are. I think that's a good sign. We also play in Iowa quite a bit in the summer. We seem to do real well with the bikers up there and the regular folks too at the bars and motorcycle rallies. So that's been a lot of fun for us. We've also played in Kansas a little bit and we're always looking for new places to play for sure! We're at the point now where we'd like to expand further into Columbia, St. Louis, Omaha. Expand our range a bit.


After seven years together, and doing around 50 shows a year, you guys are a well-established music reality in Missouri and Iowa. How do you guys keep the spark alive after many years of playing together?

Brion Holcomb: That's a great question. I think the main thing is we just try to have fun with it all the time. We're at the point in our lives where if it is too much work then it's not fun anymore. So we've choose to keep it light. 

We don't take ourselves too seriously. Nobody bags on anybody else. If they have a problem with something we all try to pitch in and make it happen. I think we've got a pretty good friendship going amongst us where we can all talk about whatever's going and hopefully work out whatever it is.Then we go on and we have a good time with it and try to put on a great show. I don't think in a three-piece. You can phone it in at any time. You have to put on a good show every time or else it could be ugly.


Many bands work on their material from the very first day, and this can result in a sound that is not united, solid, or fluid. Psychodelic Caravan has strong pillars now, and a style that is mature and unique. Do you think this is one of the elements that will make your new original songs better than if you had recorded initially when first formed?

Brion Holcomb: Well, I've played in a lot of bands over the years. Both cover bands, originals only and combinations of the two. It seems to me that it does take a while for a band to develop their identity and see what rolls everybody's going to play on stage and off. Everybody's got got a part to play both on stage and behind the scene, my personal favorite loading equipment, but I digress. The advantage to us being together so long now is we've all got the same attitude. We've even got a look and we've got a sound. If you've ever seen us play live, you know that we take a lot of liberties with the cover songs anyway and make them our own.We have a huge pallet of grooves and sounds to choose from with our originals and I think people are really going to get a kick in the ass out of them.


If you could collaborate with an artist that has inspired you, who would it be?

Brion Holcomb: Oh, wow! Haha! I guess I've got two replies to that one. If it was anyone alive or dead I'd have to say Jimi Hendrix I mean how great would that be? He's the guy that kind of inspired me to start playing the guitar as a kid and I like his whole zen approach to life. We've all got to love each other, you know. Hmmm, now living artist, I'm going to say my dream collaborator would be Brian May. He's still kicking ass and he's another guy that inspired me to play the guitar and sing. I'd say he's definitely got a little blame in it.


Are you looking to get on any Midwest or national tours next year?

Brion Holcomb: Yeah, we're really looking to take it to the next level next year.. The band will have some original songs to promote! Not just t-shirts. 

Although, have you seen our t-shirts? They're pretty kick ass. Tie-dyed shirts that you can read I'm A Psycho on them from across a field! We're hoping we can keep turning heads like we've been doing at some of these big abate rallies and such. We're always willing to talk to anybody that wants us to play a club, a party or a show and we're always open to assistance with promotions and bookings.


Blues, rock, and much more, Psychodelic Caravan has its own sound and style. Is this due to the artistic vision that you guys share with your audience? 

Brion Holcomb: I think we view it as more of a symbiotic relationship between the artist and the audience. A lot of it is trial and error. We're constantly trying to acquire more material that goes over well with the majority of the people that dig us. 




You guys wear a lot of very colorful clothing on stage. How did the tie dye stage look come about?

Brion Holcomb: I remember seeing an interview with Elvis and he said that Liberace told him to dress as wild as he could because you want people to know you're the talent. You're not just another dude in the bar. And going with the tie dyes is just the latest incarnation of that attitude. But you never know what kind of crazy stuff we're going to wear next.


Brion, it was such a pleasure having you with us today! Is there anything you would like to say to our readers and your fans?

Brian Holcomb: Well, thank you so much! It's been a pleasure. We want to thank everybody that's been supporting us over the years. All our friends and family and we want everybody in the world to look for our songs when they come out here next year. Be sure to check out our Facebook and YouTube pages. Peace out everybody!

Alpha Cat Takes the Music World by Storm with Their Latest EP Release


Alpha Cat, the alternative rock band, has just released their latest EP entitled “Venus Smile… Retrograde” through the Aquamarine record label. This new release showcases Alpha Cat’s growth and evolution as a collective, bringing together their unique blend of music and talent to create a powerful and thought-provoking collection of songs.


The theme of the EP revolves around the idea that a broken heart can reveal what a person is made of and the overwhelming exhaustion that society experiences in the current world. The songs also reflect Elizabeth McCullough’s observations of the world becoming too divided and extreme and her search for a hopeful resolution and reconnection of these separations.


The band consists of singer, songwriter and acoustic guitar player Elizabeth McCullough, guitarist Doug Pettibone, bassist Reggie McBride, drummer Jason Harrison Smith, percussionist Manuel Quintana, cellist Jane Scarpantoni, and Murphy Bug on backing vocals and additional guitar and bass. Each member brings their own unique musical background and talent to the band, making for a truly dynamic and diverse sound.


Alpha Cat started as a band and has since transformed into a collective, bringing together musicians from different backgrounds to create their unique sound. In the mid-90's, Elizabeth McCullough, a photographer and songwriter, reconnected with some old acquaintances, including James Mastro from the Bongos, and Richard Lloyd from Television. This led to the creation of their first studio demo and the beginning of Alpha Cat’s journey as a band.


Chris Butler, who is known for his 80's hits such as “I Know What Boys Like” and “Christmas Wrapping,” wrote a review of an early London show for Britain's “Get Rhythm” magazine. He described Alpha Cat’s work as “funny, intense, and surprisingly beautiful, 'how the fuck do you steer this thing called life' songs."


With the release of “Venus Smile… Retrograde,” Alpha Cat continues to captivate audiences with their thought-provoking and powerful music. Fans of alternative rock, as well as those seeking a fresh and unique sound, will not want to miss this latest offering from Alpha Cat.

Interview with Ina - Lead Singer of pop-rock Band KingQueen


Love Music: Tell us a little bit about yourself. Your background, education, music passion etc. ??

I’m Ina (aka Sabrina Pertini) - the lead singer in pop rock band KingQueen. I’m from Sweden and now living in Los Angeles. Music has always been a big part of my life and Los Angeles has been a important place for my growth. 


Love Music: We been hearing a lot about your band, so we notice you’re starting to gain a lot of attention how does it feel?

If feels great, it’s always been about the songs and making people feel something. Seeing that it’s working with our latest release “Burn This Motha” is humbling and exciting. 


Love Music: Can you please tell our readers more about your pop-rock band?

We’ve been together for a few years but it feels like everything truly came together during the end of 2021. We released a EP in 2022 and went on the Golden State tour, got to perform stages like San Francisco Pride to San Bernardino Fair with Quiet Riot. And we released our single “Burn This Motha” with a music video in Dec of 2022. Our sound is edgy yet vulnerable lyrics, catchy chanting choruses and stadium feel music.  


Love Music: Any upcoming project?

We are currently recording an album which will hopefully be out before May 2023 and we’re planning another tour. 


Love Music: What has been one of the most exciting achievements of your career so far ?

Performing at San Francisco Pride in front of thousands of people and just feeling the togetherness with everyone. It was so uniting. 


Love Music: What’s your goal in life you want to achieve next?

Continue to write and help people heal. 


Love Music: What motivates you to do your best work?

Helping others! Being part of someone’s playlist making them feel less alone. Putting on a good show helping someone forget about their stressful day at work. And also; myself, I am intrigued by life and how us humans can grow and do better, get better and perfect anything we put our mind to. There are no limits to what we can achieve. I’m enjoying everything I’m doing so far but I’m always curious about how good of a writer I can become or if I can be more energetic live. I enjoy the challenge. I always want to push myself to do better and I don’t get tired of it.


Love Music: Did you choose this industry, as a career, or as a hobby?

It definitely chose me. I didn’t even know I was writing songs as a kid, I thought I was just writing my thoughts down and adding Melodie’s to it. Music has saved me in so many ways and helped me to stay on track in life, and in some situations to get back on track. Music is always within me. 


Love Music: Everybody needs time out. What do you do in your free time?

I enjoy exercising, watching sports (especially soccer), playing video games and hanging out with my pets.

Interview with New Rules Duo


Love Music: Tell us a little bit about yourself. Your background, education, music passion etc. ??

New Rules is a duo made up of Celia Stavri on Vocals and Dominik Dybka on Guitar and Vocals.

Celia is a singer/singer songwriter born in the UK and now living in Paphos, Cyprus. ‘As seen on TV’, Celia is a well known award winning singer. She was the runner up out of thousands of singers applying for a Greek singing contest which was televised in Greece called ‘Rising Stars’. Celia has also released several of her own original music which has reached over 150thousand views and plays collectively on all social media platforms.

Dominik is a guitarist and music producer, owner of Overtone Records Cyprus, sound engineer (finished Academy of Film and Television in Warsaw, Poland). His music education stands between Chicago, Warsaw and Paphos. He lived years in the USA where he played in a band but also started producing his own material. In Warsaw he got his degree as a sound engineer, played in numerous bands from blues through punk rock to pop so he is influenced by many different music genres. In Paphos, Cyprus is where he could finally spread his wings as a musician and music producer. Having recorded and produced probably all local artists in Paphos and surrounding areas in his studio his main focus now is New Rules Duo and social media.


Love Music: We’ve been hearing a lot about you and have noticed you’re starting to gain a lot of attention, how does it feel?

To be honest it is very surreal for us! We hoped that our tour to the US would go well but never expected such amazing feedback and recognition. We are overwhelmed with the support. Several venues in other states have also contacted us to book in dates for our return tour this November. So we are very excited to get back on the road and experience as much as we can. We feel extremely lucky to be able to do what we love.


Love Music: Can you please tell our readers more about your latest release?

Our latest album ‘Road to Rendition’ has 12 cover songs. All tracks on the album are completely unique and are our ‘Rendition’ of the songs. All of the tracks were recorded from scratch by us and were recorded by Dom at Overtone Records. We are so proud with the final piece. Each song tells a story and has great meaning to us.

Since its release it has reached thousands of plays on Spotify, YouTube and other platforms with some of the songs having airplay around the world.


Love Music: Any upcoming project?

We are pleased to say that even while in America on tour all of the venues have invited us back this year and we are now in conversation with other venues from different states like Tennessee and Iowa, that also wish to book us. We have also been contacted by a large theatre in Chicago that wants to book us for a ticketed event. The theatre has a capacity of around 1000 so we are really excited for what this year will bring!


Love Music: What has been one of the most exciting achievements of your career so far ?

Definitely travelling to America for our very first international tour. The thought of doing that has been a dream for both of us but it never felt like it would happen in reality. So to have experienced it still feels like a dream! It was definitely the most exciting time for us.


Love Music: What’s your goal in life you want to achieve next?

We have many goals I guess and the list gets longer daily! But of course our main goal is to keep travelling and doing tours and getting our name out there. We also want to write our own songs, which we are currently working on now. Our album will really showcase our individual talents and will have a Blues/Funk feel. We will be releasing the album this year. So keep an eye and ear out!


Love Music: What motivates you to do your best work?

Several things! Family is one very important factor for us. Celia has 2 daughters and she really wants to show them to follow their dreams. If you work hard and follow your passion only good things can come from it. When things get hard its easy to give up but you must get up and keep going no matter your career. To be able to write and perform songs that connect with people is also a great motivator. Nowadays people truly connect less and less. Songs have the power to really mean something to so many people. To be able to have a positive influence on someone is a real honour. Especially if they are feeling lost. We need to come together more and be there for each other. Songs have this great power to do this and we are prove to be part of that industry.


Love Music: Did you choose this industry, as a career, or as a hobby?

We both see this as a career now. When Celia first started to sing it was more to follow a passion that she had of singing. It actually turned into a career by accident! She used to post videos of her singing onto YouTube and Facebook and was contacted by a couple that were getting married and wanted to book her to sing at their wedding. One wedding soon turned into several and she left her job as a teacher to become a full time singer.

For Dominik it was a choice. He had to decide what does he love the most in life and went and did it. Never looked back.


Love Music: Everybody needs time out. What do you do in your free time?

Free time? What’s that?! Our year is very hectic! We have a full diary of weddings and we also perform weekly at some hotels and venues across the whole island of Cyprus. So this doesn’t give us much free time. But we wouldn’t want it any other way. We get to travel a lot and stay in some beautiful locations and hotels. We really enjoy being on the road. We both say often that life isn’t about the things you buy but the experiences you gain. They are priceless. With any free time that we do have we like to work on music.

Deson Teninchy | First Supper


Brooklyn, NY, recording artist, composer, performer, producer, and street poet Deson Teninchy's latest album titled "First Supper" has been officially released through Estate Entertainment and has already demonstrated the initial signs of impact within the entertainment industry.


According to the label's representative, Nicole White, while this album is intended to be construed as somewhat unorthodox by hip-hop aficionados, the artist's and label's goal was to appeal to a more conscious listening target. "We've tried to capture DESON's passion and somewhat aggressive lyrical delivery on ‘First Supper' to counterbalance it with its underlying wit, metaphors, and the strength of an inner-city point of view within its content."


DESON TENINCHY is Co-Owner and CCO at Estate Entertainment Agency, servicing Bayonne, Newark, Jersey City, and New York. He is utilizing his vast knowledge to produce, create, write, and arrange great music, acquire and maintain talent, and manage business affairs, along with his Co-Owner, Nicole. TENINCHY is a well-rounded Hip-Hop artist and music producer that captures attention and entertains all through the arts.

Chris Luciani | Another World


New Jersey rocker Chris Luciani, founder, and leader of the hard rock band LUCIDITY, and his label Precision Records have formally announced the release of a brand new solo side-project for the artist. ANOTHER WORLD is the eponymous debut single from his solo album of the same name which will be made available on July 29th, 2022. An inquisitive composition that not only externally asks the age-old question of, "Is there really anyone out there?" but also the self-doubting inner conundrum of, "Is there really anyone in here?" Some of the conclusions Luciani arrives at are sure to unsettle quite a few who hear this song.



ANOTHER WORLD is a guitar-driven foray into the world of hard rock music. Chris works with a flesh and blood ensemble of live musicians who come together to help him forge molten lyrics and metal riffs together to allow the artist to get the heavy edge into the track and take it into the realm of mainstream active rock.

Interview with Kïmera


Love Music: Tell us a little bit about yourself. Your background, education, music passion etc. ??

I’m from Memphis, TN. I started making music at a young age. My mom forced me into voice lessons at a young age but I didn’t really like them. I wasn’t after that choir boy sound. After hearing Billie joe from Green Day’s voice. I eventually moved to New York to go to school but eventually dropped out to pursue a degree in music production. Life had other plans however with the school closing due to the owner choosing to put his energy and money into his addictions rather than the instructors paychecks. Although I left New York with out a degree I learned some pretty valuable life lessons that no text book could ever relay.


Love Music: We been hearing a lot about you, so we notice your starting to gain a lot of attention how does it feel?

It’s much appreciated but not at all what I expected. When I first started 100,000 plays was what it poked to be famous in my eyes. I saw artists like Tyler the Creator achieving it and thought that was the pinnacle of success. Once I reached it though my bank account was still dismal. Today my idea of success has evolved past a number of plays. It’s more so a sense of stability: passive income, being able to travel, feed my family, those sorts of things.


Love Music: Can you please tell our readers more about your latest release?

‘Resurrection’ I’ve really begun to realize how my genre or songs I’ve made in the past can cradle depression. Resurrection is a call back to my original writing methods of the lyrics being more simplified. Subconsciously I also draw from my interest in theology. This was actually the first degree I pursued but decided it was more of a hobby or interest rather than a career for me. But anyways the song kind of aligns with the idea of the crucifixion and resurrection and how that can symbolically play out in daily life. The idea came to me while heavily intoxicated and working on a different beat with obey the scene and sylum gone and in an instant the idea came to me. That’s usually how an idea will hit, just in a moment without consciously trying to pull it out. It was honestly a spiritual moment for me.


Love Music: Any upcoming project?

I’m working on an EP (companion piece) to the last EP I did. I also have a trilogy I’ve been thinking about, with a single coming out soon, to be announced. I’m getting back to my punk rock roots but with an emphasis on overcoming challenges rather than a self loathing focus.


Love Music: What has been one of the most exciting achievements of your career so far ?

When I think back to getting in touch with prettyheartbreak with my best friend and godfather to my son kid amateur to make Gold Things. This song is a reminder for me that lyrics read like a cliché music documentary. Come up, come down, realization, reunion. We made it all in house, shouts out to Kid A for the guitar and beat. Another moment I have to mention was getting to meet YvngCrow person when he came down to Houston for a show after knowing him on SoundCloud for years and then joining Sylum Gone for features on Escape (music video coming soon lol)


Love Music: What’s your goal in life you want to achieve next?

To own a liger.


Love Music: Did you choose this industry, as a career, or as a hobby?

I went into music as a career. I’ve always been really into music my whole life. It's my lifesource. After dropping out of The King's College theology program in pursuit of a music production degree I made my mind up that there wasn't any other options.


Love Music: Everybody needs time out. What do you do in your free time?

Now that I’ve healed from some pretty brutal recent injuries I’ve enjoyed going to the gym, getting back into jiu-jitsu and hanging out with my dog and girlfriend. Also, I love designing clothes for my friends and for myself.

Interview with Priceless77


Love Music: Tell us a little bit about yourself. Your background, education, music passion etc. ??

I was born and raised in North West London. My mum is from Newcastle and my dad is from St Vincent. I went to a couple of different schools, some of them have reputations for being rough and dangerous. I have always done music, since the age of 7 I started writing my own poems, which later developed into my own songs. Music has always been my passion, since primary school I’d be so busy writing my own lyrics that I’d forget to do my homework!


Love Music: We been hearing a lot about you, so we notice your starting to gain a lot of attention how does it feel?

It’s a nice feeling, but I try not to think about it too much. For me, writing music is therapeutic. I do it mainly for myself and for the enjoyment of others. I also record songs to raise awareness of ongoing real world issues, so I’m glad my songs are getting attention and raising awareness of these problems. My music motivates and educates people, so getting attention means I’m teaching and inspiring more and more people!


Love Music: What's the response you got from people for your first release 'Snakey'?

The feedback from people was great! Snakey was dually signed by two major record labels and played on the radio in many countries across Europe. It also got played in some nightclubs because of how catchy the song is! Even to this day, when I perform it, it gets one of the best reactions. It’s relatable, anyone who has ever faced disloyalty from a friend can connect to it, and sadly that’s most people! However, although it sounds like a negative song, it’s positive and educational, which a lot of fans really like as it inspires them to move on from fake friendships and leave Karma to do its work, as appose to becoming violent or dropping down to their level.


Love Music: Any upcoming release?

Yes, many! Quite a few have to remain secret for now, but I’m working on a couple of very controversial ones, one more summer song for this year and working on some collaborations too. Features is definitely something I need to do more often, so that’s under construction at the moment!


Love Music: What has been one of the most exciting achievements of your career so far ?

Although my first ever release was signed and my first ever music video hit over 10k views on my own YouTube channel, in my opinion, my most exciting achievement is definitely performing at Notting Hill Carnival. I love performing, it’s one of my favourite parts of my musical journey, and delivering my talent to a crowd of that size really was a dream come true! The fact it was carnival made it so much more special to me, as I’ve attended carnival since I was a little boy and I’m aware of the history of it and how much it means to many people of many different cultures, backgrounds and lifestyles.


Love Music: What’s your goal in life you want to achieve next?

My long term goal is to leave a legacy in music. I want to educate many more people through music and continue to fight for idealistic causes through my songs. I want to inspire people and prove that anything is possible. As for my short term goals, I would like to collaborate with more artists and perform a few more times this year! I’m also working on my second EP, which will be dropping next year so look out for that! 


Love Music: What motivates you to do your best work?

My daughter. My daughter motivates me to be so strong and creative. Before she was born, the majority of my songs were about fake friends, street life or betrayal. Although this may not necessarily be a bad thing and I was just rapping about my life and surroundings, since the birth of my daughter, some of my music has had a more positive touch. While a portion of my fan base love my gun, war and street songs, I’ve gained many more fans due to my optimistic music, as more people listen to music to gain a happy feeling than a negative one. My daughter has made me gain knowledge of the happy side of life, given me many more ideas to write about. She has motivated me to reach a level where I can write both positive and negative music now, therefore my music is reaching many more people as I have a song for you no matter what mood you’re in!


Love Music: Did you choose this industry, as a career, or as a hobby?

It started off as a hobby, However, as I started getting bigger in the scene, I realised that I should take it seriously because of how much potential I have! For example, last year I only released three songs, but my music played in 95 countries! That stat alone, combined with the facts that my first ever release got signed by a record label, my first video hit 10k views with no big channel helping to support it, and the fact that I was banned from rap battles during my time at secondary school because I was “Too good at it” all show me that I’m destined for a career in the music scene! Even though I’m taking it seriously now, it always feels like a hobby because I enjoy every aspect of it. When you do what you love it doesn’t feel like work!


Love Music: Everybody needs time out. What do you do in your free time?

I like to spend lots of time with my daughter. I also play for a Semi-Pro football team, as football has always been another main passion of mine. I like to watch football, I’m a die-hard Chelsea fan! I also like to play video games, but I’ve been so busy with other things that I haven’t played in a while!

Interview with Sandra Day


Q: Tell us a little bit about yourself.

I am the CEO/Owner of Purple Ribbon Office Solutions the first Minority-owned Business center & Virtual mailing station business. serving over 3200 clients. 

Establishing my services on a foundation of integrity, I am a highly dedicated Business Consultant who possesses the skill and passion necessary to help aspiring professionals/startups reach new levels of sustainable success. To date, I hold an extensive background involving the intricacies of leadership development, organizational growth, credit/marketing accentuation, and inspiring healthy mindset transformations, and continuously leverage that dynamicity to guide my clients on cultivating the high-performing business future they deserve.

 

Born and raised in a single-family home with my sister and brother, I learned early on the core value of resilience and a strong work ethic. Part of that stems from my natural-born progressive nature and the other from understanding that in order to get ahead in life, you must put in the work to make it happen. This, along with my rooted appreciation for all things growth and development, became the catalyst for me to attend college to begin my career in Business Administration while my siblings pursued serving in the Army. Upon earning my associate's degree in Business and a bachelor's in Education, I spent the next 15 years working across various organizations, proactively gaining a solid track record of exceeding pipeline goals while maintaining internal scaling profitability.

 

In addition to boosting department-wide performance and fostering mutually beneficial results, I have also gained a strong reputation throughout for my specializations revolving around executing full-scale operational improvements and advancing workplace cultures. Now taking that with me to the business consulting space, I have since intertwined my near two decades of startup expeditions and history working as a Childcare Director/ teacher, life coach, and mentor to help others raise the bar for their businesses, their teams, and ensure a profitable path forward.

 

As a consultant fueled by helping others succeed, I have a genuine passion for translating startup objectives into tangible realities and doing so while ensuring everyone across the organizational pipeline has positive constructive experiences along the way. From creating unique business plans to leadership optimization, I ultimately demonstrate my efforts by delivering actionable, strategic, innovative, and tailored support that unlocks bottom-up potential and solidifies scaling futures. Because in the end, every startup business and ambitious entrepreneur has what it takes to excel within their market with the right mindset and brand executions - and sometimes all it takes is attaining qualified perspectives from a consultant you can trust to both recognize and capitalize on that.
