My Intro...

Wazz up guys??!! My name is Mariah and I am the founder/writer/reporter for StudioRadar. I am a southern girl by heart and by nature, but far from naive. I was born and raised in Mobile, AL,which is probably about as southern as it gets. I consider this city to be a hotspot in the south or at least in Alabama. The culture is rich here since there's rumor that Mardi Gras actually orginated in this city, but we could use a pick-me-up as far as music goes. Perhaps we're too far south on the map for a big time record label to settle here. Whatever the reason, I don't want to have to travel back and forth to ATL to get my music fix. Now that's a city that never sleeps. I have family there and even thought about moving there myself, but I think everyone knows where home is.

My love for music is genre rich. I think I have a favorite artist from every genre, but I do love music though. Some people don't take it that far but I believe I am that weirdo, haha. Let's see... the last thing I added to my Ipod was Michael Bluble "Sway" and "Call Me Irresponsible". Other artists I truly truly love (in no specific order or genre) are:

• OK GO



• The Dream



• M.I.A



• Montgomery Gentry



• Toby Keith



• Franz Ferdinand



• Rooney



• The Format



• The Red Hot Chili Peppers (yup, I still love them)



• Aerosmith (yup, I still love them)

The list goes on, seemingly forever... I mean what's not to love? Okay, you may not love them, but I do and that's what music is supposed to be about. You stick to the tunes and the lyrics that mean to most to you. Music soothes us in bad times and gives us somethiing to relate to even if noone else gets us... we've always got our music, right? Every genre has a specific meaning to me because it reminds me of a certain point in my life. Some of those points are good and some are bad, but I've been exposed to many many different kinds of music and I'm very grateful for what it has made me out to be. I literally feel like a more diverse person and I feel like I can relate to a broader range of cultures than the average individual. But that's just me I guess... what do you think?
