001: Teenage Politics & The Origin Story Of Christie Gee

It's funny....how one moment in your life can make such a huge
impact right? This episode is about that very thing. Growing up
in one of the smallest towns in the country (before the boom of
internet & social media) to now one of the biggest cities in
the world has been quite a journey. It has been a mixture of self
discovery, working my way through the ideology of the pentecostal
church and thinking outside of it's box, discovering my love of
music and moving to Los Angeles where I would go on to work in
high end retail (which was always full of fun surprises) to
interviewing some of my most favorite musicians and other
artists. In the midst of all of it, I fell in and out of love,I
questioned alot and found answers in unexpected places, I faced
some of the hardest battles and I am here today to tell y'all all
about it.


I can trace a big moment back to the day I discovered a band from
Bremerton, Washington called MXPX via their video for Teenage
Politics in the mid 90's.


After that life was a pretty great adventure!
