I love music. I’ve found my little niche in the music industry, and I listen to these bands religiously. Last semester I pitched an idea to the creative director at idobi Radio: I wanted to write about Neck Deep’s album Life’s Not Out to Get You, but I didn’t know what I wanted to say.

Through incredible trial and error, I eventually succeeded, and the piece was published just this afternoon.
