After leaving uni, I did the usual route where you're a girl in the music industry,

there aren't many jobs available, you're either a PA or receptionist, couldn't type

fast enough to be a PA, so stuck on reception.

But I like to chat, so you chat to people and you kind of meet people, and then I just kind

of moved my way up working in record labels and then

I ended up working at a DJ agency and this is what opened you know my eyes to the worldwide

global music industry nowadays if I look back with the opportunities young people have when I first

started there was never the thought that you

should start your own company or it was always you were going to work for someone else. As you know,

you're a condition to kind of think that you're going to do this same career and you do that

for the rest of your life. Why not try lots of different things?
