Why I miss the music part of VH1 and MTV
Every morning I hear my screeching alarm go off, I have such a hard time getting out of bed because I have nothing to look forward to. When I was younger, I had such a different mentality. I enjoyed getting up every morning because it meant I get to watch hours of music videos before I head out for my

I kind of fell off of the face of the earth this weekend. The last week has been crazy busy and I just decided that I needed to relax a bit. However, on Saturday morning I saw a bit of this video… on my phone, in bed. I only saw a few seconds before my Youtube app froze, but it

A little over a month ago, I was in Chicago to shoot this video for So Klean. It was definitely an experience, being that I’d never shot in Chicago before. We ran into a cop on a horse while we were shooting the first performance, a nun that popped out of a back door in the alley, and Deadmau5 in
