Music

I'm so into my music. I could be a walking radio...sorry iPod. I'm a freelance music journalist and occasional songwriter. So I appreciate good music.

Dance tracks are always the ticket for a good time and to turn that frown, upside down...and before anyone asks, yes I can do the Melbourne shuffle and most disco tracks.

Triple JJJ
I have listened to this station since I was 10!

Movies

I have watched alot of movies and these are the ones that have stayed with me.

Baz Lurhamns 'Romeo and Juliet': Modern romantic
La Bamaba:Bio of young 50's rocker Ritchie Valens
The Shawshank Redemption: Real drama
Good morning Vietnam: Just for the radio shows
What dreams may come: Real art come to life. Tear jerger!

Television

Enough Rope with Andrew Denton.

Books

There are way too many books that I enjoy reading.
I read more magazines than books as I have a hyper active mind.
I have read 'The Motorcycle Diaries' by Che Guevara, and it has got me thinking about travel in a big way.
One of my all time favourite books was "The Hungry Hungry Caterpillar" when I was a child.

Heroes

Anyone who has survived a bad situation and made it a positive thing.
My mum (cancer survivor).
My mum's grandparents-WW2 survivors. This is actually a pretty good story and somebody should give me a book deal.

WELCOME to JMK DESIGNS...a space for GRAPHIC DESIGN, BAND PHOTOGRAPHY, ART STUFF and PARTY PEOPLE...
Sit down, read, have an energy drink and then get moving!

BIO:
Since 2001 JMK Designs has been up and away...
Artist profile: Hailing from Melburn’s west side Siren Doll is a mix of creative energy making an honest living as a Graphic Designer and freelancing in music journalism, photography and art direction. Her design education started as a 4 year old with Lego and kinder art and most recently got educated with a Masters of Design. Siren Doll’s passion for street art began with painting an entire bus for a final high school project and her current artwork combines traditional technique with graffiti stylizing. The artwork of Siren Doll is influenced by pop culture, vintage comics, Charles Blackman, Howard Arkely, Picasso, old skool graff pieces and everyday advertising.

Kadyelle - LP OUT DECEMBER!



Nov 11 2009 7:34 AM

Hello there jessss, just passing by to spread the word that my LP, Earthworthy, will be out very soon and available to purchase via paypal on my myspace, and hopefully at other vaguely respectable outlets here and there...
Until the LP drops I have a bunch of tracks from the album up on my myspace player, if you are bored or feel inclined to listen. I also have 2 film clips for tracks from the album, 1 currently unreleased and the other is on my myspace and on youtube.

Earthworthy is sixteen tracks of hot sex featuring Thorts, Class A, Esvee, JP, Lady Lash, G-Force, Morgan Macmanus, Nikkita & Butler Yeats. Production from Proph1, Crytearia & Xcise...
Thanks for letting me spam you a bit! Peace & Props, Kady.

Hey Jess, thanks for getting back to me
The band was called The High Society, or High Society, either one!
I saw your photos of them on facebook

I'm free mainly on weekends as I have work and school on weekdays
But whenever you're interested in meeting up and taking some photos, aslong as I have a bit of time to organize things around it I should be fine

I'm pretty much looking for photos that will make me stand out, not posed generic band shots
I don't know exactly what I want just that I think it should reflect the sound and feel I get from my music
If you have any ideas I would love to know :)

Hi Jess, I saw your work through a friend of my sister's band
Thought your photos were really lovely
And I would love to be a part of it someday, if you're ever interested in getting more photos
I'm in the middle of re-making my myspace and re-recording my music, I have an up coming gig in December aswell
So if you'd like to check out my music then I'd love to chat with you :)
Hopefully Talk soon then
