Tina – CEO of Song Mates, Inc. | Interviewer, Press Play Radio
Almost as soon as I could walk, my mother laced up my skates and set me in motion. But when I discovered dance, my heart was set—I wanted to be a Solid Gold Dancer. My childhood was a mix of skating under disco lights, choreographing basement routines, and pleading with my parents to order every Columbia House ad that landed in our mailbox. Music was the heartbeat of my world, shaping me long before I realized it.
Thanks to my parents, I was raised on a rock-solid foundation: The Beatles, ABBA, Meat Loaf, Rush, AC/DC, and a wall-to-wall soundtrack of ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s legends. By the time I hit my teens, music wasn’t just in my life—it was my life. I had a personal soundtrack for every memory. Whether sneaking out at 13 to see KISS on their Crazy Nights tour or sobbing to “Read ’Em and Weep” after my first heartbreak, music was my constant. Even working security at our local coliseum gave me a rare front-row seat—and sometimes a backstage pass—to the very bands that shaped my soul.
Now, as CEO of Song Mates, Inc. and co-host of artist interviews on Press Play Radio alongside The Don and Dean Baldwin, my passion for music has taken on a new mission: to disrupt the industry, amplify the voices of artists, and build a platform where music lovers and creators truly connect. I’m here not just to relive the soundtrack of my life—but to help others write theirs.
This isn’t just nostalgia. This is the future of music. Let’s vibe, connect, and change the way we experience it—together.
