- PROFILE IN CHERRY-VEEN ZINE

“What would you call what you do? ‘I'm a concert/event promoter and producer...To me, the most satisfying thing and why I do it is that I like creating a place to bring communities together. I love when the space we create has this tangible energy and warmth you can feel in the air — when people have a chance to interact and meet new people. I don't love booking gigs when it's just another show where people see the band and then leave. I try to add more elements to make it feel more community-oriented.’”
