“I am the lead singer/co-songwriter for the bands Bella Lune, Dreamgaze and Annadyne. I play guitar, bass, keyboards, do synth/drum programming and DJ. I played violin & clarinet for most of my childhood. Music is my life! I love listening to, making and producing music. It has been my passion as far back as I can remember. I also model when time allows (photos, runway, print and web ads, event flyers, music videos, etc). I also do web and graphic design for my bands, club nights, businesses, events, etc. I run the website phxgoth.com, which is a list of goth related clubs, clothing stores, record stores, famous places, people, bands, etc all in the dark Phoenix underground. I also enjoy travelling, philosophy, cosplay, girls, literature, art, movies, my black kitties, dancing, astrology, makeup, poetry, performing and lots more. I love my friends/family. I have noticed that is short, so I try to enjoy every moment of it…” – Fuchsia
