My previous experience includes serving as a Radio Promotions & Events intern at Rocky Mountain Public Media, a law clerk at RZA Legal, the Promotions Director at 90.5 KCSU-FM, and a social media and marketing intern at the Aggie Theatre.

Deeper: A Pre-Show Interview with KCSU
I sat down with Chicago band Deeper before their show at Skylark Lounge in Denver on October 22nd. What I learned from talking with them is that they are thoughtful, creative, and innovative individuals. Having started as a dream pop band in 2014, their music has evolved into something uniquely “Deeper.” From powwows to loop pedals, each member of the band has a special history and relationship with music. See my interview to find out more about their musical backgrounds, inspirations, and personalities.
