I am a millennial woman in tech. I am a blogger. I am also a radio personality. I am dedicated to helping you find the best sounds to curate the soundtrack of your life.

A born and raised island girl from Bermuda, with a desire to share her love for music and technology. I am excited to use my experiences and opportunities to create a brand that touches hundreds.

I help people like you find new music to full joy through my radio show. It airs on Hott 107.5 FM in Bermuda from 5 PM – 7 PM every weekday. I will help you open your ears to sounds you would never have come across on your own. You will develop the sound of your life by visiting my website and listening to my radio show daily.

But Who Are You REALLY, Ace Girl?

I am a quirky, millennial Bermudian Radio Personality and System Application Analyst. The “radio personality” title is easy to decipher, right? But, what the heck is a “system application analyst”? In short, I am a professional in the Information Technology industry.

In high school, my love for computers, programming, and coding was first cultivated. It was in one of my Intro to Computers class that I fell in love with Karel the Robot. In the another class, I built my first HTML website. I must give thanks to my Alma Mater, the Berkeley Institute. That school prepared me for a career in Information Technology. As well as a side hustle in Blogging that first started back in 2003.

After living in Atlanta for 7 years, my journey of returning to Bermuda. Securing an awesome full-time job at AGL. Starting a part-time hustle at Hott 107.5 FM. Plus re-establishing my side hustles did NOT follow a straight line. TBH I had no real intention of moving back to Bermuda once I left for to obtain my bachelor’s degree in January 2010. After my graduation from Spelman in 2012 and Georgia State University in 2014, I had a plan to set up shop in the USA. But Jah’s plan for me included helping others like me on the rock by being BACK here.

Blogging has been a hobby of mine since the beginning of time. Okay, that is an exaggeration! It was more like in 2012 when I launched then1989.com that I realised my passion for music blogging. I allowed the ‘doubt’ from others to tell me that my niche might not be as profitable. That doubt made me believe that I would only be blogging as a passion project. I would never make any money from it. Since then I have realised that my soul mission isn’t to make tons of money. My soul’s mission is to impact another person’s life in a positive and meaningful way. Music has always been a constant in my life. So that is where I will restart my blogging career.

Nice Story. But Why Should I Care, Again?

Listening to music is an act of self-love and care. Music has the power to communicate your feelings. Especially when you lack the confidence to speak up for yourself. Music can make you aware of a situation or feeling you have been neglecting. Lyrics, like quotes, have the power to shock you out of your comfort zone. Allowing you to get real with yourself without the judgment of mankind.

You have enough to occupy your time on a daily basis. You are showing up every day to your 9-5, your part-time job/side hustle, or even your own business. You make time for the gym and your friends and family. Often we listen to music without resistance. Consuming the beats and the lyrics with very little thought to what you are consuming. I challenge you to listen to your favourite songs in all seriousness. I want you to see if their lyrics actually serve you and your current goals in life.

The music you listen to is repeating a narrative. If you are not careful, it could lead you down a path of self-doubt, chaos, and uncertainty.

Don’t Worry, I Got You!

I am on a mission to help you find the BEST sounds to full joy. Whether you need some music to help you focus. You’re looking for new music to listen to while working out. Maybe you want to know what the hottest songs are right now. This is where I come in.

As a radio personality, it is my duty to make sure you are listening to a wide range of sounds on-air. This will allow you to become familiar with them in your everyday life. Through my free content and paid products and services, I am in this to make a difference in your world. If you no longer want to listen to the same music every time you go out. Nor do you want the streaming media algorithms to tell you what is “hot”. I am here to help you find the best sounds the world has to offer!

Yes, this is my personal brand. Yes, I sell things. Yes, I am proud to earn a part of my living from it. BUT the vast majority of the content you will find on this site is available to you free of charge.

As I mentioned earlier, I could have chosen a niche and industry that is more profitable from the onset. That’s not where my passions lie. I am an advocate for using music as a form of self-care and love. PLUS I want you to stop listening to music that Apple Music, Spotify, and/or TIDAL say is “popular”. You tell them what is hot!

You can be content listening to the same songs from 10-20 years ago because they are familiar. You can create playlists with the songs you have heard already. BUT you are missing out on a lot of new music. Playing it safe by only playing the artists and songs you are most familiar with is a fear tactic. It is time that you step out of your music comfort zone and learn some new sounds! You’ll thank me later.
