About Me

Dear Readers,
I have been an executive at global brands, including  VP of Digital Marketing for Universal Republic Records, Head of Music Video Programming for Yahoo! Music, and Senior Director for Global Marketing at Sony Music. I am currently a freelance consultant building digital brands online and copywriter, editing two finished novels (there are three others I’m developing), and writing a tech blog for Fragrance.org as well as conducting artist and author interviews for various outlets.

My blog is purely meant to amuse you and focuses on my canine kid ELLE, music, sharks, books, technology, modern art, brands, crushes and whatever else excites my neurons. You can follow her on Instagram: @grrlgenius_ and/or the human account @cocoquill.

Below are some of the author and artist interviews I’ve done in the past ranging from RollingStone.com to SheKnows.com to CaliforniaPsychic.com- I’m versatile. Note: sometimes URLS change but you get the idea.

Love, laughter and pop glitter!
xx Colleen aka GrrlGenius since 1997
