my deal

yes yes people!
i am vanessa. i am full of ideas and spend much of my conscious time conveying them to others, whether it be in a professional capacity or for kicks (i have a different kind of kicks obsession too, but that's another story).
i am immersed in and surrounded by deeply beautiful musik and for that i give thanks. my love of sub bass and sunshine has taken me to many amazing events and allowed me to stretch my writing, photographic and promotional skills as well. when not working you are most likely to find me in one of two places: either sitting smack bang between my speakers listening to a new riddim or out and about soaking up the amazing musik wellington is blessed with.
i like to read - anything and everything - and am a firm believer in the art of good communication. this can be enhanced by: cups of tea, meditation, wine, laughter and honesty.
that's enough for now. we'll see what else i can come up with ... peace
